Connecting the Troopers of Today with the Veterans of Yesterday.

Need Information

Former C Troop First Sergeant Ned Devereaux need any information (tales, stories, memories...) about a great NCO, the late 1SG (ret) Paul Garcia. Paul passed away back in 2004 and a tribute to be published in the Spring of 2014 will need as much information to honor a great C TROOP member.

Ned e-mail address: neddevereaux@comcast.net.

--Regards & Blessings!

--Rafael V. Pabon, MSG (ret)

I served with him 1980-1982, before I went to ROC Border Opns. One of the best Scouts that I known.

God Bless!

I've already talked it over with Ned and we both agreed not to bring that up.

I'd always wondered what happened to Paul after I left. I knew when he made Sp/4 it would go to his head!!! Sure glad to find out he went the direction he did. Sounds like he turned out to be a helluva Soldier.

Comment by Rafael Pabon on November 12, 2013 at 3:02pm: Hi Dave, I (we) respect the privacy of your relationship personal and professional with the late 1SG Paul Garcia, but are you making that decision for ALL or just for you?

--Regards!
