New!
Tim Jackman on a recent visit to Ft Bragg found the 73rd Armor is now the 73rd Cavalry Regiment.  He didn't find the unit on post but there were Unit crests, decals and embroidered patches available.
 

Lewis Witt has visited the old Fort Beavers site in September 2013, which is now occupied by the ROK Army 38th Tank Battalion, 26th Mech Division. Share his story and pictures by going to the 1963-1964 tab.

It is the veteran...not the preacher...who gives us freedom of religion.

It is the veteran...not the reporter...who gives us freedom of the press.

It is the veteran...not the poet...who gives us freedom of speech.

It is the veteran...not the campus organizer...who gives us the freedom to assemble.

It is the veteran...not the lawyer...who gives us the right to a fair trial.

It is the veteran...not the politician...who gives us the right to vote.

And it is the veteran who salutes the flag...who serves under the flag...and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
