Memories For This Unit
Best Friends Frank Todd Dave O'Neal Charles Lewis Jim Neufeld Mr Fitzhugh Woody Emmett Williams	Best Moment Well, there were two: When I was selected to serve as the Bn SGM in 1997. When I retired from the Bn in 2002.

Other Memories Served as Battalion Sergeant Major during the time the position was not coded as a CSM position, due to the low number of Soldiers assigned. I believe we had around 19 Soldiers in the Bn when I was assigned there in 1997
