Did you command at company level?

As an old SP4, I’ve always held military officers in esteem. And I’m still a little intimidated by them. Really.

I was in 1/1 CAV, AMERICAL DIV, I Corps, RVN 1968-69. Every now & then an officer screwed up. But the majority that I knew were genuine leaders.

Medals are a fine thing, yet so many acts of true heroism and self-sacrifice go unknown on the battlefield.

But I’m raving.

I salute you, Ma’am.

I did command at company level. I’m currently a Major who was once a Staff Sergeant. I appreciate your comments and I want to thank you so much for your service as well. God bless.
