Tell us a little about your cav days.: We had fun going downtown to Amberg and trying different beers and always chasing the local ladies!

Tell us a little about you now.: I'm 50 years old now but fondly remember the time I served the Cavalry. When I was initially stationed there, I had no idea of the history of the 3/2 ACR. I'm very proud of the unit and what they have done since I left there.

Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.: Kevin West, Michael Barry, Sgt. Rodriguez

At 9:06pm on July 2, 2010, Daniel Toural said…: In base camp, ( i call it Pond Barracks) we used to roam around as often as we could. The main objective was to collect the little cardboard coasters that the brau-hauses had. And we were FANATICAL about this! Every single teeny brewery, every Gasthaus we came across, we went in and sampled each beer they had to offer. And if there was a coaster, we took em!

I think the picnic table is a good idea. What better way to pay homage to the troopers than to spill beir and bbq sauce on it with good friends and family?
