Rest well, my friend.
Thinking of you on your birthday Wayne. Rest in peace soldier.
I don't recall his name but he had a Merrilll's Marauders patch from WW2 on his right sleeve.
SSG Wayne Eugene Dixon received PCS orders for Fiddler's Green 2018/12/17.
Rest in peace, old friend. I guess you will have to save that bottle of brandy until I join you at the Green.
Happy birthday Wayne I hope you are doing well and enjoying your day. Thinking about you and your family my friend.
Wayne,
This is the link to the 2d Cav store. http://www.2dcavstore.com/
Real nice people that own it. I met them at the reunion last April.
Wayne, I have not forgotten your email of 2Aug.17, send me your phone # and I will give you a call.
Hi Wayne
Did I answer your question about the staff sgt killed at Camp Gates? He was ground guiding a 114 into position and something happened to the SFC driving the 114. I saw most of it. Sad thing was both these NCO were both WWll and Korea vets. Not sure of the date but it was summer 1964 or '65.
1994 was a typo I was there from 62 to 65
