Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Steve, I'll be honest with you, I don't even know what the parade was about. I was the former tall guy in the back, half asleep. About the only time I ever "woke up" during one of those parades was when I heard the Command "Passing Review", and when Ranger Etheridge tried to keep that beast "Ranger 1" under control. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: An update on Col(R) Howard. He has now transferred to a hospice facility in Waco, Texas. His son who is stationed at Bragg is with him as well as other family members. He has requested to be buried at Arlington when the time comes. The hospital in San Antonio will forward his mail. On another note, thanks Mark for a great poem. I printed it, and put it on our Bulletin Board here in the VA Hospital. Very well done. My thanks, Joe. |
