Hey Gene, I'd say we crossed paths on the Buckner Feb. 58 but I had the honor of taking care of a dog that belonged to a Lt. in our company who got to fly over with his wife who was pregnant at the time !

Gene, that was my 15 minutes of fame, being on an Embassy Net, private secret frequencies, coding with the Pentagon and then being relieved of duty as they wanted an OFFICER GROUP and after two + weeks sent us back to Nuremburg.
We were billited by the Air Force base in HOF and it was exciting to see a Regiment at the ready.
We were operating in the Air Force Parking lot.
It was all Top Sectret Confidential stuff but they never told me to kleep it that way when I left. But thinking about it, it still might be Top Secret.
Sig and I seem to be the only ones that know about it now.

Hello Dave: I believe you. I do not ever recall seeing as many challenge coins in one place, ever. And, from what I have learned about you over the years, it is my opinion that you have earned the right to all accolades that go to one who has put a great deal of time and effort into preserving the stories, history, and artifacts of of a group of men who saw their duty and did it. I do not think that I am alone in feeling honored to share space with you. My thanks and appreciation for all that you do...

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.
