Jerry, I enlisted in the 45th while still in H.S.in
1950 and served until I rotated back in the summer of 51. Went on to
finish school & get on with my life.
Wasn't your unit 155s? We had 155s
support us on many occasions but we never knew which unit those Long Toms
were. The 105s we knew but not the heavy stuff. All I knew was we sure
welcomed hearing thosr Freight Cars going outbound. Thanks a million
for your help Jerry. Say, give me ring on my pc and we won't clutter up
this website. My address is:
Bill "The Okie" Scott

Ted Williams served in WW2, then joined National Guard.
Then fought in Korea.
Ted Williams FOUGHT.. the pretty boys kepted thier pretty
faces.
There is NO Comparison to the sacrifice Mr. Ted Williams
did
and what GwB and Quayle got away with.
One of the many fradulent
things that went on during the Vietnam CONFLICT
The two silver
spoons were politically appointed to the NG.
Everyone knew that in 1968
and know about it now.
This was a big angry rage withthe American public
back then.
Yet, they were not the only congressmen sons who were picked
for the Boy Scouts
BY putting Ted Williams and comparing those two
"wet ones" is damn shameful.
You have defined what a man is and what
boys are. Gwb and DQ are BOYS..
