I don't remember you from Delta company but if you were there from 79 to 82 we served together. I did see some of my old friends in your pictures. SFC Webster was my platoon sergeant when i was the Tank Commander of D26 Sgt Chavez was also in your photos and he was my roommate until I left Delta company.

Don't remember you but if you were in Delta company form 79 to 82 I was there from 77-80. You have some pictures of guys I know, SFC Webster was our platoon sergeant when I was with the second platoon. Sgt Chavez was my roommate, and of course Hurst and I were good friends. HiLo was a good buddy of mine as well when we were in the first platoon together. Sorry I can't place you were you in the second platoon and whose tank were you on at the time.
