Comments:
Greetings & Salutations! I'm a training officer for the 4th
Battalion of the American Volunteer Reserve and serve as a CW4
(Chief Warrant Officer) and am certified to teach K-12 as well as in
a community college with my M.A. I am also a graphic artist and have
a nonprofit educational website:
http://www.militarybadges.info which shows worldwide insignia. I
surfed on to this really nice website, but then again, it is Texan
and you know Texas is the best! My nickname is "Sarge" and I also
served in the 118th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division ("Old
Hickory") in the South Carolina Army National Guard in 1963 while I
lived in Charleston (1948-1958, 1963). You may also go to
www.webshots.com and see my
photo albums which show U.S. Army chevrons (1872 to 1920) as well as
U.S. Navy rates (1841-1945) and other great insignia, even download
for free and use for your own website. Feel free to email me!

Not a veteran but a patriot. See
story about a teammate
and hero.
I am
submitting the story at the suggestion of Mr. Al Kincer. It
was written in honor of the memory of a former Bowie
Jackrabbit and teammate of mine, who served in the US Marine
Corps in Korea. It is completely true, and was related to me
personally a few years ago by Clarke Bradley. I am sending
this with the hope of honoring every veteran of every war
fought by our beloved American heroes. I honor each of you
wonderful men and women, and thank each of you for paying
the price for my freedom. I was only 12 years old at the
start of WWII, but the flame of patriotism has burned
brightly in my spirit ever since.
Sadly, I lost one of my younger brothers, L. Dean Curry, in
1952, during the Korean War. He would have been 73 today if
he had lived, but instead, he rests in our little cemetery
in Bowie, forever 19.

I'm currently serving as Chief of Staff of ARSIC-North over here and
am
wondering of the best outlets to let people know after my tour the
good
things happening here even in the midst of the worst summer
casualtywise for
the US in Afghanistan. My tour ends early next year and I'll be
coming home
to Richardson, TX. I'm a TX Army National Guardsman and will be
returning
to my civilian life at that time.
Thanks for your help in getting the message out.
LTC Fred Leinweber
Chief of Staff,
ARSIC-North |
