Bless the American Legion Riders. Prayers for the families and friends left behind. I wonder when he was with the 509th.

I was afraid the names sounded too familiar.

n 2000, Doles was assigned to Fort Beginning, Ga. for Basic Training and Airborne School. From 2001 to 2003, he was assigned to Fort Polk, La. as a member of B Company 1-509th Infantry (Airborne) OPFOR at the Joint Readiness Training Center.
