Thanks for all you do to encourage our Armed Forces enlistees, Miss Kathy!

Whule an undergraduate in Syracuse U., I was also engaged in the Service Battery, 249th Armored Field Artillery, 28th Armored Dev., NYARNG; which was based nearby in the East Genessee St. Armory.

There were still a lot of WWII and Korean War vets in the battalion as officers and upper grade NCOs. I was able as a teenager to satisfy their demands of a new soldier, such that they wound up sending me to NCO school while yet a PFC.

I was very grateful to have the years of experience as a National Guardsman under combat veterans. I'm sure that they are all dead now, gone on to Glory, but still remembered and honored.

Thank you again for all your labors in this Forum!
