With so many under his command I always enjoyed when he came to HHC Garrison , he cared. He may not remember but being his supply  SSG we shared many other things as well. we talked sometimes how we both served 2nd armor hell on wheels, forscom 9th Inf, jungle experts, and in panama I had the CIB(not for 76Y) Inf rope artillery rope ranger tab as part of uniform required. Being both Navy/Army my mixed uniform even made him look twice. But he was a great  general and am happy I got to work for him and  know him ......SSG Tom Conrad HHC USAG Ft Lewis, WA
