—” we made a felony stop, detained three suspects who had two pistols in the car, and notified CPD Tactical officers to meet us at the scene.”

A very difficult line of work...Thank you.

I recall hearing you on the radio, WLS?

B-1/11 FIRST OF THE FIFTH!!!
And I haven’t run into more than five guys from the FIFTH MECH?
I worked for a large corp with few veterans.

I plead guilty to your WLS memories. I was with 1/77 Armor as a tank commander, and a mech infantry squad leader with the 1/61 Inf of the 5th Mech. I recall FSB A-4, C-2, the Rockpile, Vandergrift, and Dong Ha and Cam Lo out of Camp Carrol. I was with the 77th Armor when we escorted ARVN units down Highway 9 to the Laotian Border during Operation Lam Son 719.

Lots of bad memories, but many good ones, mainly those of my comrades in arms, ESPECIALLY the ones whose names are on the black wall in DC. Welcome home Bro!!!
