Good show soldier! RIP your mate Jeff.
Anybody who puts on the uniform is a potential “combat arms” candidate. Never shot at but I did 3 years behind the Iron Curtain in West Berlin during the 60’s. Plenty of potential there but it never happened. I was in ASA’s sister branch USAFSS and surrounded by “ditty boppers” so I know what you are talking about.(Note: Johnny Cash was a morse intercept airman in USAFSS!)
Choking up with deepest respect, remembrance and gratitude to all who served honorably and are no longer with us including my mates David B.,David L.,Nick, Jack, George S.and another George S, Warren, Don, cousins John an Bob, and the list goes on and on. RIP to them all.
Am trying to keep my almost 86 year old brain active with daily morse code tinkering too! Amateur radio general license.
Godspeed brothers in arms!
Amen
Lt. Carroll Spragins was an MP post commander in Nha Trang, Vietnam. He died in 1969, at the hand of one of his post's US troops. The soldier was reportedly under the influence of drugs when he shot and killed Spragins, whose widow and their daughter now live in Missouri at last report.
If you know her, please let her know he's not forgotten.
