Thank you for a remarkable thread.
I remember that day. I was stationed in Germany, and I was short!
I do not recall being on Alert or anything else notable in my Unit. (I had a lot of personal stuff going on during that time.)
Amazing work here FRiend.

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting. We must never forget the sacrifice of those who gave their all for us to be free and safe.

I remember having to have served under Jimmah Carter, and seeing his picture in Battery HQ in the Chain of Command Pictures we all remember.
I remember then, and years later, how Army morale suffered during this crisis, and how frustrated and heartbroken we were when the rescue mission failed.
Thanks RaceBannon for your Service to our Country, hope to see you often here on FR!!
