- Do you have a web site?
- http://home.comcast.net/~deddygetty2/
- Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.
- Lester Paul (found; he's deceased), Harry Watt (found), Paul Garcia (found; he's deceased), Dan "Mac" MacDonald (found; he's deceased), Marty Banning (found here), William "Tiny" Hayden (found here), Marty Buss and the rest of the party room at the end of the hall.
1LT Andy Stilley (found in Texas but lost again), 1SG Jack Miller (found here), CPT (Ret. COL) Tom Molino (found here), SSG Ken Webb, SGT Jim Cain (found here), SSG Rick "Butch" Cassidy (found here), SGT Brian Conlon (found here), SGT Donley French and SGT Dennis French (twins), Dennis Fullerton, Jerome Hess (found here), Scott Hippe (found here), SGT Larry Kissel (found here), PVT Mike Paige, SP/4 Brian Parten (found here), SGT Bob Ryan (found here), SGT Rick Reames (found here), SP/4 Cary Ley (found here), LT Jim Mitchell (found here)...I know there are several more I missed and more that are already here, but the mind gets foggy.
This was probably the last thing SSG Brow saw before I hit him with a flying tackle and put out his flames just past the first hour of July 25, 1974. I think I must have still had this same expression as I ran away from C15 just seconds before it blew up.

"Happy Birthday Opie!
Knocked the cobwebs off the jukebox and filled it with quarters. This should chase the rats back into the basement.
Merry Christmas everybody. Hope this music gets you in the mood.

Glad to see the Giants are one in a row in the win column though."

"Your guess is as good as mine, Harry. I call it shocking or glaring green. Neon green fits it good too.
Russell had surgery yesterday on his finger for a ruptured tendon. Supposed to be out at least 6-8 weeks. Probably my fault because I jinxed him…"

2D CAVALRY MUSEUM UPDATE
For the twisted few of you out there like me who have lost anal retention over the closing of the 2d Cavalry's Reed Museum in 2006, I have some good news. Things are finally moving forward towards getting the "Reed" opened up again in Vilseck, Germany, after being in limbo for three years.
The Regiment has a building at their home on Rose Barracks in Vilseck…

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.

Hey Dave, curious if you have received any messages from a Maris A, with a link they want you to click on. Seems odd to me
Hello Dave!! Have you see any write-up by the 2d Cavalry Association on the passing of CSM Ned Deveraux and/or his contributions to the Regiment? He was the editor of the Association periodical for many years too!
Happy birthday Brother, I hope everything is going well with you and your family. See you in Georgia.
Thanks for posting on the Facebook page, I would love to see the comments. I am trying to join the group. Thanks again!
what is the need for capacity. Maybe we could start a money drive once we figure our needs
I got a message from
J Mclaughlin's Page says
Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on where his email is for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless. Scammers are using this same message around the internet to get money from your bank saying you win money. I speak German and this persons Englisch is terrible. I served on the Rock in Bindlacher Burg Delta Company also helped with head start German since I spoke it anyway. Harry Mills was my tank commander. I was the driver. He told me that when I drove it was like driving on a cloud. I am the only one who like going to the wash rack.
The reason I have 3 accounts is keep forgetting passwords lol
Yo Dave, Happy Birthday! Hope you’re doing okay out there.
Happy birthday Dra made it another year. Enjoy your day to the fullest. I will drink one of my German dark wheats that I have stashed away in your honor today.
Hi Dave! Been awhile since I have seen or heard from you! Hope your doing well in the midst of what we now call life! Tojours Pret Brother!
