I don’t know if I ever mentioned this before, but the other day I was having a conversation with one of my platoon buddies from the 11th Cav in the 90’s, and I was reminded that my First Sergeant is now the Sergeant Major of the Army.
No small deal, that. Plus, he is a local, born right near Frostburg.

Read all the “Walking the Line” dispatches. They make a great profile of one intelligent and tough MF. I for one am glad he’s on our side.
