First 3 pictures show me with 1st Sgt Corey Meyers with his wife and Psgt
Vic Birdseye(they were members of CASA Allen Hoe's son Nainoa's platoon when
he was KIA in Mosul and along with Mike Slee, who did the documentary,
traveled home with Nainoa-Mike does the Best Ranger TV show-these are all
super troops and people), MG Mike Barbero with CSMA, and me with Doug Flohr
and Duke. The next six pictures show the 3d day activities as well as some
