Sam he has a page here now, and also a FB page.
I just came back from going over there to RI to visit him, for 17 days.
He does not always get a good signal for internet, so he is not online much or often.
Was going to make a run south on the beach all the way to Key West, but got held up by Enterprise Car Rentals in Jacksonville Fl., so had to cut it short and come home.
Sam,
Have you checked out my video 'F Troop Roll Call',
you might see a few troopers and places you know.
I know that I am proud of it, got the inspiration from Tacoma Dave!!!
Bob Dobson and a couple of his buddies started the original Dragon Base back in the 1990's to keep the Desert Storm guys in touch.
Dragoon Base was the call sign for 2ACR's operation's headquarters during the battle.
Sam, Thank you for the kudos.
But it was not I that created Dragoon Base, I think it was Chris Golden who started the first one on MSN. Then when they kicked all of their groups off, Robb Russell found this site.
Well Sam,
I pulled it from my 'do not know' file, so I could be wrong also.
But I think I am right on, you use to hang with McDonald, and again not sure!!!
Thanks bro !! Where and when were you here ? I was here from June 79 to Sept. 83. I Troop ! Good to have you aboard brother !! Keep in touch.

Welcome to Dragoon Base, Sam. Jesse Kelley was just up at my place a few days ago for a quick visit. Hazed you, did he?
One of the guys in our oldtimers group, Wayne Dixon, is also a member of Veterans of Underage Military Service. Drop by and check it out, but wear some tall boots because the BS gets pretty deep sometimes.
