Remembering “the Herd”
Thanks to TankerBabeLC I got to play taxi to 3 real purty soldiers and attend several very special memorials on the day before Veteran’s Day.
Young and old veterans meet and greet.
Standing at attention while Taps is played.
The 82nd Airborne’s Color Guard along with the colors from the 173rd Airborne (front).
The official memorial for the 173rd.
SGT Pitts places flags in memory of his fallen breathren.
A ceremony led by LtCol. Roy Lombardo to honor Major General “Butch” Williamson.
The most touching memorial of all. Three young warriors, all wounded at the battle of Wanat, pay tribute to one of their own who died there. SPC Sergio Abad, rest in peace soldier.
