This issues cover features a theme that ex-

presses the bond between 101st Veterans and
Active Duty members. The 101st Association
Veterans are very involved and do so much
to help the Active Duty Soldiers and their
families. Pavers are used to honor brave men
and women. Double Eagle coins are given to

THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
As I begin my tour as your
President, I would like you to know
that I understand what a huge job
this is and that I have to step it up
to keep pace with those who have
lead before me. Tom Sewell for the
last two years has raised the bar; his goal to increase
membership now has the Association at 8,008 mem-
bers. Tom has left the Association in great shape.
My first goal is to hit 10,000 members by next year’s
reunion in Nashville. This will take a lot of work,
but our Membership Committee, chaired by John
Thompson has laid the ground work with new mem-
bership rules and getting the current roles straight.
As I write this message I am also working with your
Vice President, Jim Keeton and Executive Secretary &
Treasurer, Wayne St. Louis on new Committee Chairs.
We have a big year ahead of us, before we
gather again in 2012 in Nashville, TN for our 67th
National Reunion where we will help celebrate the
101st Airborne Divisions’ 70th Birthday. You need
to mark your calendars now for the 67th National
Reunion which will be combined with the 2012 Week
of the Eagles - August 13-18, 2012 to be in Nashville,
TN. The majority of the 101st Airborne Division will
be home at Fort Campbell.
Major General James C. McConville assumed
command of the 101st Airborne Division on the 12th
of August and eight days later attended the 66th
Reunion in Lexington, KY along with his lovely wife
Maria. MG McConville is no stranger to the 101st Air-
borne Division (AASLT), having served as the Deputy
Commanding General of the Division in 2008 when
the Division deployed to Afghanistan. MG McConville
introduced the Guest Speaker for the Memorial Din-
ner, CSM Scott Schroeder who provided the almost
500 attendees with a great update on the status of
the 101st ABN Division. He gave several vignettes
of 101st Soldiers’ actions under combat conditions
which demonstrated the type of GIs that we have in
our GREAT Division. The 101st Airborne Division is
extremely lucky to have an individual of CSM Schro-
eder’s caliber to provide the senior leadership for the
enlisted members of the Division.
The Division’s participation in the 66th Re-
union was truly outstanding: Members of the Divi-
sion Band provided entertainment for two days
2 THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
and supported the Memorial Dinner, A Color Guard
presented the colors for the Memorial Dinner, the
Division Parachute Demonstration Team made three
jumps in Lexington during the Reunion, two at the
Hotel and one downtown which drew tremendous
TV coverage on the local channels, the 1/327 sent 8
soldiers, the Brigade Commander and CSM and his
wife, the 2/502 sent 5 soldiers and the Brigade CSM,
the 101st Airborne Division Soldier and NCO of the
Year were present with their families for the entire
reunion.
2013 Reunion – The Reunion Committee
brought 4 possible locations for the 2013 Reunion to
the Board of Governors, along with a detailed com-
parison chart. The Governors took the four locations
to their Unit meetings and had the unit members
select the final two locations, which are Portland, OR
and Las Vegas, NV. After site visits and more details
on the contracts by the Reunion Committee, the final
vote for the 2013 Reunion will be taken at SNOW-
BIRD in February. (See more info on SNOWBIRD
pages 6-9.)
Corporate Sponsors – I cannot say enough
about the great SPONSOR support we had this year
for the Reunion. The Hospitality Room, Golf Prizes
and Raffle Prizes, you should remember who these
guys are and support them year-round. See our
Sponsors on pages 73 and 74 in this issue.
Scholarships – Thanks to Rick Lencioni and
his Scholarship Committee our Association awarded
19 scholarships totaling $45,950 this year. The As-
sociation has come a long way from the days when
we gave out $3,000 scholarships a year. We are only
able to provide this kind of support because of the
increasing number of donations from our members.
The Scholarship Committee will be mailing all our
members a tri-fold fund-raising brochure in an ef-
fort to increase our scholarship funds for next year’s
awards. I urge all Screaming Eagles to donate to this
worthy project.

 NATIONAL HQ UPDATE
Pride in Our Service
By Wayne P. St.Louis CSM(R)
I know I should be talking
about Week of The Eagles or the
outstanding 66th Annual Reunion
we had in Lexington. The fact is
the deadline for this edition of the Screaming Eagle
Magazine was August 5th and those two events had
not happened and I wanted to have my article in.
The big event for me and my family was my retire-
ment ceremony on August 5th where MG John F
Campbell presented me with tokens of appreciation
for my 27yrs of Service. What I want to talk about is
not only the pride I have in my service but how our
Nation is so proud of all you for your service. CSM
Charles Kirkland, a friend of mine wrote a speech a
few years ago that truly inspired so many, so I have
taken some of his words along with many of my own
to convey why we should all be proud.
I’m a noncommissioned officer and I’m
proud! I’m proud of every officer, noncommissioned
officer, and Soldier and their service to the greatest
nation on earth, because they wear or have worn
the Army uniform. I want to thank all of you for your
service and let you know how proud you should be
of your sacrifice, no matter how many years you
served because the fact is you served and should be
proud.
I wanted to pass on to you that today’s
Soldiers are no different today than they have ever
been, they are accomplished military professionals
who have combined civilian and military educational
opportunities to become the Nation’s pre-eminent
body of leaders. Soldiers provide invaluable ser-
vice and sacrifices in the line of duty and continu-
ally prove their dedication and willingness to make
great sacrifices on behalf of our nation. I don’t think
anyone today will argue that the war we are engaged
in is mainly a Soldiers fight, soldiers who are up for
that fight and are taking that fight to the enemy.
We know about the pride we feel with this
historic Division, the 101st Airborne Division. Pride
that is an emotion and not something we can issue
to someone in a certificate or something you can
direct or demand Soldiers have in their souls. Pride
is a tightness in your chest or a lump in your throat
you feel when the National Anthem, the Army song
or the Screaming Eagle song is played. Pride is what
you feel at the Airport or just about anywhere when
a stranger reaches out and stops you to thank you
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
for your service. Pride is hearing your young son and
daughter tell their friends that their mom or dad is
serving in the Army for your safety. To some the Na-
tional Anthem may just be the song of our Country
played before sporting events; but you know better.
You know it represents freedom paid for with the
blood of our ancestors, comrades and even some of
you because you are proud of being a Soldier. Pride
is stopping at the VFW, American Legion or attending
the Annual Reunions of so many veteran organiza-
tions and listening to those who have seen so much
boasting about their kids or grandkids who are serv-
ing in the Army and just got promoted to PFC and
are sure to be the next General. Pride is on display
all over the United States and abroad when you see
elderly gentleman wearing their 101st Airborne Divi-
sion, Vietnam or even their Korean War shirts or hats
that announce they are Proud of their service. Pride
is attending a military funeral and as you exit the
church you hear the rumble that is growing louder
and louder as the Patriot Guard arrives. You see the
American flags in the wind, carried by those proud
Patriot Guard members in columns of two, riders
in a mile-long formation are here to escort another
Soldier to their final resting place. Dressed in biker
regalia, men and woman riding tall in the saddle as
if they were going off to battle themselves. They do
it out of pride, in support of our fighting men and
woman, and love of country. True patriots, every one
of them honoring our men and woman in uniform
rain or shine, that my friend is true Pride in Service.
Please don’t forget about the many patriotic
American citizens and families that stand by our side
in these challenging times. I want you to know now
that the American people are proud of your service. I
ask that you represent yourselves like the professional
ambassadors you are and be Proud of your Service to
the greatest Nation on earth and be proud you served
with the greatest Division in the world, the 101st Air-
borne Division.

 During the past several years the Association has presented Double Eagle coins to active-duty war
veteran members of the Association in ceremonies at compnay, battalion and brigade level formations. Many
assisted in these ceremonies: Jack Braden, Harvey Appleman, Robert Nichols, Harold “AJ” Murdock, Joe Bossi,
CSM Mike Wagoner, Mike Tilden, Dan Gilligan, Jordan Jeffcoat, and others.
For veteran members, a “Double Eagle” pin will be awarded for those who sign-up at least one new member or re-sign
a former member who has not been active for over two years. Many pins have been awarded to Association members who have
recruited friends and former members of the Division into the Association.
The continuing goal is to double the veteran membership, which will enhance the overall capabilities of our Association
and result in improved services for all our members. To meet this challenge, we are counting on you to do your part; twist the arm
of a reluctant buddy, spread the word about all the good things the Association is accomplishing, do it any way you can; but get at
least one new member by the 67th Annual Reunion.

 HELP CONNECT THE PAST WITH THE PRESENT
Greeting’s,
I am trying to find the records of my father. He served
in the 501st infantry Batallion, I think. Watching Band
of Brother’s was like watching his career in the 101st. If
someone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
My Father’s name was, Graydon Kieth Newman. He has
passed away almost 26 year’s ago. Thank You, Sincerely,
Tom Newman.

I am trying to locate anyone who may have served in
the Army with my dad, now deceased. All I know is he
served 2 tours in WWII (South Pacific), 1 tour in Korea,
and 2 tours in Vietnam. He was stationed in places such
as Ramstein, Ft Benning, and Ft Knox. He retired in 1969.
Any information you may have would be greatly appreci-
ated. His name is Kenneth F Huffman, SSGT, USA, Ret

I am attempting to locate the crew of a CH-47 Chinook
helicopter and the persons who piloted it. They moved
portable timber bunkers from Camp Eagle- Corregidor
Heli-Pad to Fire Support Base Brick in Vietnam in 1970.
The above CH4 belly hit the bunker as I was attempting
to hook up the unit to the cargo hook. They crew chief
seemed to be frozen. I jumped off the bunker as the CH-
47 hit it. The pilot determined that the chopper had hit
the bunker and he sat the CH47 down. He then person-
ally got off to assess the damage.I believe this crew was
also shot down on FSB Ripcord. I was in Camp Evans and
recognized the pilot when the crew was brought back in.
If anyone remembers this incident, please get in touch.

My name is Chris Chaisson and I am a political officer in
the U.S. State Department. I serve overseas in Tashkent,
Uzbekistan. My son had to write an essay for a school
assignment, the theme was someone whom he admired
most. He chose to write about my great uncle, 1st Sgt
Herschel Parks (#6138790). When my uncle died on 3
January 1945, he was serving in F Co., 2 Bn, 501st PIR.
In fact, he was killed in a heavy shelling of the Bois St.
Jacques, right outside of Foy, Belgium. In the book, “Four
Stars of Hell”, the moment of his death is recorded, al-
12
though his rank is incorrect. As my son was doing research
for his project, we realized that we knew very little about
my uncle. I know that many of our heroes are gone now,
but was hoping that on the slim chance that someone
who remained remembered my uncle, if they could, we
would love just a few words about him, something we
could think about in the future.

Netherlands
NORMANDY 2011
My wife Nellie, with wheelchair in my car, and I and
some friends went, as every year, to the place where
the struggle began for the freedom we still live in:
Normandy, France, June 6, 1944 (D-Day). Yes, we in
Europe still have no wars – except some conflicts in
the Balkan -- since that for us glorious period of June
1944 - May 1945: the advance of the Allied Troops,
including the 101st Airborne Division, from Nor-
mandy to Berlin and for the 101st to Berchtesgaden,
Germany. The 101st ended the war in Zell am See,
Austria.
Whether it was the bad weather or not but after so
many years I saw, for the first time, noticeably fewer
visitors and events than during our many former
visits to Normandy. This weather also let us see the
very difficult decision of Gen. Eisenhower to start
D-Day that beginning of June 1944. The decrease of
visitors is strange because the number of visitors of
WWII scenes of battle increased every year since the
last fifteen years. Or is the crisis the result of consid-
28
erably fewer activities such as fire works, parades,
parachutings and the like? Happily there still were
many laying of wreaths and monument ceremonies
and the American Cemetery in Colleville, on Omaha
Beach, was a much-frequented place. Personally I
think that people assume that they would meet only
a very few veterans from WWII. And that assump-
tion was right. I heard that George Koskimaki and
his historian mate Mark Bando were in Normandy.
During our stay of five days we drove over small
country roads and through all the little villages of
the dropping-, landing- and battle area’s of the 101st
around Carentan near Utah beach. Alongside the
five infantry landing beaches Utah, Omaha, Gold,
Sword and Juno we passed by more than a thou-
sand, maybe two thousand, WWII monuments, many
related to the 101st Airborne Division. The country
of Normandy has hardly changed since 1944. It’s a
marvellous landscape which gives you a salutary and
relaxed feeling. Beautiful. The many war museums
give you an excellent explanation of that war period
and about the important role of the 101st. It must
give a frustration to all other veterans and relatives
that over all of Normandy – even in the British sector
-- about eighty percent of the shoulder patches – in
shops, on market places, on clothing of re-enactors
or civilians -- are 101st Airborne patches. On June
6 we visited the American War Cemetery Colleville
(9300 graves). It gives very much satisfaction to see
that so many visitors (every day) honour the fallen
American soldiers, who did – like the survived sol-
diers – the highest sacrifice. In the centre of the
cemetery, where a large American flag flies on a high
post, someone had laid down the next poem, which
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
equally well relates to all veterans from WWII and
after that till nowadays.
They ask us why we do it
Why we still parade
Now that we are getting older
And just a little frayed
It’s not for the sake of glory
Or the medals on our chest
It’s simply that we are comrades
Who stood the final test
On the 6th of June that fateful day
A day we will never forget
Many a lad laid down his life
And paid the final debt
So when you see a veteran
Give the man your hand
For the medals on his chest
Were won in foreign lands
And when God asks the question
Who are you man
I will proudly answer
Sir, I’m a veteran
MEMORIAL DAY 2011
As every year, the Society of Dutch Airborne Friends
went to the American Cemetery in Margraten, the
Netherlands (8302 graves) on American Memorial
Day, the last Sunday in May (this time 05-29-2011).
In the preceding week local schoolchildren provide
every grave with an American and Dutch flag and the
past several years all 101st fallen soldiers also get a
Screaming Eagle flag. Every year, after the ceremony,
I see flowers on thousands and thousands graves,
while the number of visitors from the USA, for good
reason, is very low. The flowers come from thou-
sands of caring people who have adopted a grave for
many, many years, from family to family.
Here is part of the speech of US Ambassador in the
Netherlands, Mrs Fay Hartog Levin.
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
“On behalf of the citizens of the USA, I would like to
thank the Dutch people for their support and care
they have provided to America’s sons and daughters
buried in Margraten. At the very first Memorial Day
commemoration at Margraten in 1945 there were
over 8,886 American graves here. By March 1946
there were over 17,000 American soldiers buried
here. Since then many have been repatriated to the
United States, but over 8,000 still remain here side
by side with their comrades. Every year we come
here to be together and to remember their sacrifice.
It touches me tremendously and provides me with
a profound appreciation of the special relationship
that the United States has with the Netherlands. Ev-
ery one of these white markers represents a story. If
they could speak to you the men buried here would
probably tell you that they were not heroes but
that they were scared and far from home. But they
were heroes. At an hour of maximum danger, amid
the bleakest of circumstances, men who thought
themselves ordinary found within themselves the
ability to do something extraordinary. They fought
for their moms and sweethearts back home… for
the fellow warriors they came to know as brothers.
And they fought out of a simple sense of duty. Think
about the tremendous stress they were under and
the discipline it took to just keep going one step
at a time toward their fate. We also think today of
their families who before the advent of the internet
would go weeks and months without hearing from
their loved ones until one day someone in uniform
knocked on their door to tell them that their hus-
band, son or daughter would not be coming back. All
of that seems very distant to us now, but we still hear
from some of these families and it is still very real to
them. There is a deep gratitude that remains be-
tween the Dutch people and the Americans because
of the care the Dutch took with our fallen soldiers
following WWII. (editor: here Mrs Fay spoke Dutch,
29
but I translate): You treat our fallen American
soldiers as your own sons and daughters by
the way you honour their resting-place and
support this yearly ceremony. For that we are
eternally grateful to you. We remember. We
will always remember”.
I don’t want to deny you one sentence of the
speech of the Governor of the province of
Limburg.
”These fallen soldiers would have turned
eighty-five or older this year. They weren’t
destined to live to that age. They died too
young to have had more than just a taste of
life. But we will never forget them. We re-
member them not only on Memorial Day, but
every day of gratitude for our freedom. We
are eager to keep these souls alive, both in
our memories and in our hearts. These over
eight thousand young Americans will always
be with us”.
AFGHANISTAN
I don’t like articles about wars from writers
who are far from the real scene of battle,
who never were in the tumult of battle
(a.o.t. Iraq and or Afghanistan). They (unin-
tentionally) wrong the soldiers who do the
very dangerous and severe struggle. These
writers maybe know the political orders and
think they exactly know all about the sol-
diers have to fight for to realize those orders.
That they know all about the Soldiers’ feel-
ings, thoughts, fears, dreams, their heavy
kit, the very (too) hot days and much more.
I only write this heading to announce that
the Dutch soldiers again go to Afghanistan to
educate young Afghans for the security and
30
police power of Afghanistan (the Dutch armed
forces left Afghanistan-Uruzgan a year ago).
Hope that the (young) Afghans who want to
join the security and police power have the best
of intentions and get the education to become
an essential strong, honest and skillful police
force which protects a form of democracy and
compensates the leaving of a significant part of
the American troops, followed by an intended
departure of all American troops in Afghanistan.
A blessing for all the parents and families of the
GI’s, but a big state of suspense for the essen-
tial stability in Afghanistan, in the Arabic world.
Why? It really touches my heart when the de-
sirable stability does not entirely or at all takes
place. That there doesn’t come a democracy in
that restless part of the world. A real obstacle
about that are the great differences in culture,
religions and standing; internal and in relation
to our western views. Just this day I read the
execution of sixteen innocent Afghan policemen.
That’s an enemy without values and merits.
Happily the 101st has left or is going to leave Af-
ghanistan, where they had missed their families
and comforts of home. An indescribable tragedy
that so many soldiers were killed or wounded.
Hope that the replacers of the 101st will have a
safe time and that they will encounter much sup-
port from the home front. It’s hard to be far from
home, in such circumstances and in such differ-
ent land than the USA.

in town to raise money for the World War II Foundation
(www.WWIIFoundation.org) and Richard Winters Project
which seeks to highlight the service of the 101st’s most ac-
claimed veterans and all Army leaders on D-Day.
Foundation president and Emmy-award winning
producer Tim Gray organized the event which was hosted by
former Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom
Ridge and Senator Scott Brown.
MG McConville, who’s deep personal and profes-
sional ties to the Screaming Eagles include commanding
2-17 CAV, service as the Division Operations Officer and as
the Deputy Commanding General for Support during Opera-
tion Enduring Freedom, was inspired by the veterans and
impressed by the efforts of Mr Gray and the foundation to
capture their stories and preserve them for generations. He
noted with pride how today’s Soldiers are carrying on the
unmatched legacy of courage and service of the men of Easy
Company on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq.

nothing at all. After summer started we
worked with Midwest All Airborne for
Memorial Day where members did rifle
salutes for 3 events in the city of Rich-
field. Other members did volunteer work
throughout the state. Then our members
did honor guards for too many funerals
in June and July. We then assisted once
again at the city of Richfield’s annual
4th of July parade where there was 78
groups represented by floats or vehicles.
Of course we led with the colors. Other
members were riding in period correct

The annual cookout was a success and
what added a high amount of interest
were the vintage military vehicles includ-

In addition, at the March 2011 meeting
All Airborne’s M.U.L.E. led the way, boy it
sure gets hot in those WWII paratrooper
uniforms. Four 101st veterans from Viet-
nam to a 2 tour Iraqi Freedom veteran
gave basic M4 training to some Dept of

referred to as Sea Cadets. We drilled
them on close in weapon manipulation
and accuracy drills and room clearing was

Sentinel Mini-Reunion in St Louis
Following a late June family
reunion in Branson, MO, Doug Bonnot
headed for a rendezvous with former
265th RRC (ABN) veterans Randy White-
head and Tim Sorth and his wife Lois who
live in St Louis.
Our designated Mini-Reunion
rendezvous point was the old Jefferson
Barracks, an active US Army installation
from 1826 through 1946 and still used by
Army and Air National Guard. It is now
the oldest operating base west of the
Mississippi River. Jefferson Barracks was
the site of the first Infantry School of
Practice and, appropriate to our reunion,
where the first parachute jump was
conducted (1912).
We enjoyed a tour of the Civil
War museum where, prior to the war,
the post’s active duty ranks included
many of the West Point graduates that
would play prominent roles in that
conflict. Among them were Lieutenants
Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Braxton
Bragg and Ulysses S. Grant.
During the tour of the museum,
we met one of the volunteers who is a
survivor of the Battle of the Bulge who in-
formed us that just outside the museum
was a memorial to the veterans of that
famous battle.

Sentinel Guest Speaker
Sentinel Ken Manley was hon-
ored to be a guest speaker at Transition
Stem: A Wounded Warrior’s Think Tank
sponsored by the National Science Foun-
dation and the University of Missouri-KC.
This is a collection of educators, military
and VA folks meeting to determine how
best to assist wounded warriors’ transi-
tion to college and particularly Science,
Technology Engineering and Math degree
programs (STEM).
Ken was asked to provide an em-
ployer’s perspective. Ken said, “This was
absolutely the best conference I have
ever attended. The degree of support for
our veterans was overwhelming. I made
note of the fact that 40 years ago this
many Deans and University Department
Heads would not likely have been
meeting for this purpose.”
Ken also advised that the forma-
tion and kickoff event for the Rockwell
Collins Veteran’s Employee Network will
take place on the 16th of August. As the
Chair for the Network, Ken arranged for
a MRE buffet with some assistance from
the local National Guard unit.

Since our last writing, we can
report the Chapter is growing with new
members from our website and from
our recruiting effort at Fort Carson’s
Welcome Home Ceremony on June 10th.
The RME signed up thirty four pledges
for new membership at that quick three
hour event. Sometimes all it takes is
being there and being noticed. Our tent,
flags and “Did You Wear This Patch”
poster helped some. Being set up next to
the park latrine was probably the more
significant factor.

The Chapter again participated
in the Washington D.C. July 4th parade
with our long-time partners the F-Body
Hideout Car Club. There were many
thousands of spectators along the parade
route who were very loud with their
cheers of appreciation for the 101st Divi-
sion’s service.
On December 12, 2011, the
Chapter will participate, along with the
White House Office of Commemoration,
in a ceremony at Arlington National Cem-
etery honoring the 248 Screaming Eagles
who perished when their aircraft crashed
in Gander, Newfoundland on that date
in 1985. There are 24 casualties in the
cemetery, twenty-three in Section 60 and
one in the Columbarium. A miniature Di-
vision flag will be placed at each gravesite
during the ceremony.
The Chapter’s continuing effort
to provide assistance and support to our
wounded Screaming Eagles and their
families at Walter Reed Army Hospital,
and now Bethesda Naval Hospital, has
been very successful. Thanks to the
dedication of Chapter members Bob Seitz
and Dick Winters, in collaboration with
the active Division LNO’s, the Chapter
has provided more than $10,000. to
over 100 of our soldiers and members
of the 173rd Brigade Association. This
wreath will be presented each Holiday
along with the flags and wreaths from
the 101st, 11th, & 82nd Airborne.

The Chapter assisted with expenses for
an outing to Wolf Trap for a Beach Boys
Concert for a group of soldiers and family
members. We also provided support for
a joint effort hosted by Bob Seitz’s firm,
Booz, Allen, Hamilton, Inc. and Operation
Home Front, to conduct a day-long semi-
nar/workshop for the benefit of soldiers’
caregivers (wives, mothers, etc) focus-
ing on re-entry to the work-place. The
seminar included instruction on prepa-
ration of resumes, how to research job
opportunities, and how to dress properly
for job interviews. This event was so well
received that Walter Reed representa-
tives suggested that similar events be
considered for the future.
In recognition of their efforts
at Walter Reed over the past several
years, Chapter members Bob Seitz and

 MICHIGAN CHAPTER NEWS
It is hard to believe that sum-
mer is slipping away so fast! Having just
returned from the 2011 National Conven-
tion in Lexington, Kentucky, I begin to
reflect on this rapidly passing year.
In February I represented the
chapter at the annual Snowbird Reunion
in Orlando, Florida, with my wife and dog
in tow. We drove down and enjoyed the
change in weather, from the long and
dark winter days to the morning smiles of
sunshine as we approached our destina-
tion. Upon returning home, I gave my
report to the chapter members at the
monthly Lunch Bunch gathering.
March brought Captain Andrew
Ladak (Ret.) to the Lunch Bunch, and pro-
vided an accurate insight on the Warsaw
Uprising. Both of Captain Ladak’s parents
participated in the uprising. The senior
Mr. Ladak was an officer in the Polish
Army and served until the end of the war.
Mrs. Ladak held the rank of sergeant
and served in the underground forces in
many capacities, from ammo bearer to
nurse. Mrs. Ladak was wounded during
the uprising, but was able to continue
to serve until she was forced to leave
Warsaw with her aged mother. Reunited
with her husband and small daughter af-
ter the war, the family immigrated to the
USA and settled in Detroit. Mrs. Ladak
stayed after the presentation and spoke
with many of the attendees, writers and
historians. The Polish community news
media also covered the presentation.
April presented itself with
blustery winds and bone chilling days and
nights. The Lunch Bunch brought familiar
faces and friends together to see our

Before closing, I would be remiss
if I did not follow up on one of our chap-
ter members who passed away last year.
Leonard Schmidt was a long time mem-
ber of the Association and the Michigan

monthly VFW meetings and learned that
Leonard had served with the Screaming
Eagles during WWII. He would always

did not ask Leonard what had happened
or how it had happened but learned from
others such as Fred Bahlau (3/506) that
Leonard had been severely wounded dur-
ing the Battle of the Bulge. After arriving

The 101st Airborne Division Association’s 66th Reunion Golf tournament was played on the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa Golf
Course in Lexington, KY on 17 August 2011. The match was a Quota Points format with the number of points required to make be-
ing determined by the individual’s handicap. CSM (RET) Wayne showed up in Lexington with what we quickly named the” Camp-
bell Sand Baggers” and oddly enough their required quota points was 101. They made 102 points a + 1, which was better by The
Big Ben Costello Team which had a +2. First Place won Golf Bags donated by True Temper Golf. 2nd Place won OUTBACK STEAK
Certificates and the third place team was all others playing in the tournament; their prize was, a Sports Illustrated Golf Rain Jacket,
a picture of Pebble Beach Golf Course and a miniature pocket calculator. Titlist Golf Balls went to Closet to pin on two holes and
Longest Drive.

“Welcome Home.” -- Traditional greeting among Vietnam
War Veterans
Some of you may remember early in 2009 The Screaming
Eagle reported the passage of legislation by Congress to
fund national remembrances of the Vietnam War 50 years
before. Now that funding has produced a site for Viet-
nam veterans to review, add and digest activities across
the nation.
“The Vietnam War marked a difficult and tumultuous
time in our history. Many returning service members
didn’t receive the honorable and appreciative “welcome
home” they deserved. Now is the time to recognize and
remember their service, honor, and sacrifice.
The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act authorized
the Secretary of Defense to conduct a program to com-
memorate the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. To
accomplish that, the United States of America Vietnam
War Commemoration was established to honor and pay
tribute to Vietnam Veterans and their families. This will
consist of a series of national and regional events; a Com-
memorative Partner Program to assist states and engage
local communities and organizations to broaden the
scope and reach of our activities; Educational Outreach
such as traveling museums, regional exhibits, sympo-
sia, posters, graphic novels, maps, and other reference
materials; an interactive web site to provide a central and
easily accessible source of historical information, program
content and activities via a master calendar; and a fund-
raising and sponsorship program.
We encourage all interested parties to join us in honor-
ing the service and sacrifice of our veterans, their families
and our allies.” Excerpted from http://www.vietnam-
war50th.com/
1966 was very good year for rock and roll producing such
songs as California Dreaming by the Mama’s and Papa’s
and Last Train to Clarksville by the Monkees. Of course
the Billboard number one song for 1966 was The Ballad of
The Green Berets by Sgt Barry Sadler. Valley of the Dolls
by Jacqueline Susann was atop the NY Times Fiction Best
Seller List. The 1st Brigade(separate) of the 101st Airborne
64
Division arrived in
Vietnam July 1965
and participated in a
rapid series of campaigns in 1966.
Conventional warfare training soon gave way to the
realities of jungle warfare. In light of this The U.S. Army
began a series of publications entitled Operation Reports
---- Lessons :Learned to bridge the gap. Observations of a
Platoon Leader was the eleventh entry in the series and
was published in January 1967. It contained an account
of the learned experiences reported by 1st Lt Patrick H.
Graves Jr. It was designed to familiarize future junior lead-
ers in the realities of small unit warfare in Vietnam.
1st Lieutenant Graves served with B Co 1/327th
Infantry(Airborne) in 1965 and observed the 1st Battal-
ion, Royal Australian Regiment (1 RAR) during Operation
Crimp (Jan 8-14 1966) also known as the Battle of the Ho
Bo Woods north of Cu Chi and it’s tunnel system.
What follows are several excerpts from his report which
are telling in the early learning experience that was Viet-
nam combat. I and perhaps you will find it interesting to
compare notes from your own experiences.
Terrain: Primary Jungle -the canopy, consists of towering
trees often 250 feet high, which block out the light of day.
A heavy rain becomes a steady trickle on the Jungle floor
below lasting
long after the rain has subsided.
Navigation: The importance of map reading ability is often
not meaningful, nor appreciated, through the long hours
of tedious classroom instruction. Believe me, you must be
able to put your classroom knowledge of map reading to
practical application in Vietnam.
Compass and Pace: The compass is used extensively
everywhere in Vietnam. In the Jungle and other densely
vegetated areas where noticeable landmarks do not exist
or are not observable, one
must rely solely on the compass and pace for navigation.
Ambush: The night ambush is used frequently outside
the defensive perimeter. Good ambush habits must be
established early in a unit’s training in order for the am-
bush to be effective. Light and noise discipline is a major
problem area. The frequency of ambush missions and the
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
infrequency of contact tends to increase the natural impa-
tience of the American soldier and to cause a breakdown
in light and noise discipline.
Search and Clear/Destroy: The systematic and thorough
search of a village is rarely conducted. Time limitations or
a situation requiring pursuit is often the cause. If the mis-
sion dictates a search, time must be allocated to make the
search thorough.
The mine detector is excellent in village searching to lo-
cate caches and hidden weapons in addition to its primary
role. The sniper or harasser will often hide his weapon in
a nearby rice paddy, a well, or a dung heap after initiating
the action. He then carries on normal activity in the pres-
ence of troops. Unless located the weapon will be cleaned
and used again.
The absence of children in an area frequently is a good
indication of enemy activity. This situation should trigger
caution, observation, and alertness.
Mantraps: Mantraps are very difficult to detect and are
effective causality producers. A variety of these devices
exists but the pit is more frequently encountered.
These pits, often a cubic yard in size, contain two foot
punji sticks protruding from the bottom. Along the sides
are shorter sticks canted toward the bottom of the pit.
Over the hole is placed a loosely woven mat of thin bam-
boo strips. On this mat large leaves provide a base for dirt
covering. This dirt top will sometimes show foot prints to
add concealment.
A heavy woven mat of thumb-sized poles is placed over
the trap to allow villagers and cattle to walk over it. This
mat is removed when danger to the village exists.
It is extraordinary how well concealed these mantraps
are. The most expert observation often cannot detect
their presence.
Mortars: Personal experience has shown that many small
unit leaders consider the accuracy of the 81mm mortar
erratic. This holds true also for the 4.2 inch mortars which
are organic to the rifle battalion. Erratic firing end short
rounds have caused friendly casualties and endangered
friendly troops on too many occasions. In most cases,
the fault cannot be placed on forward observers. On the
contrary, old ammunition appears to be one problem
area. The major problem, however, is the lack of training
of the mortar crews. The weapon platoon usually receives
the brunt of administrative details in areas other than
Vietnam.
Mortar crews are thus denied adequate training, training
which should rely heavily on live fire exercises.
M-16 Rifle: First, its good points. For airmobile and coun-
terinsurgency use, the M-16 cannot be topped. Its com-
bined light weight and firepower give the soldier what he
needs in situations peculiar to the war in Vietnam. The
460 meter maximum effective range is sufficient for any
situation, except sniping. The maximum rate of fire on au-
tomatic gives firepower never before available to the rifle
platoon. This firepower is especially useful in the ambush
or counter-ambush
posture.
To touch on the misinformation and bad points of the
weapon in no way overrides its excellence. Many troops,
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
for instance, believe the weapon to be rustproof. South-
east Asia contains an accumulation of the worst condi-
tions to which any weapon or equipment can be subject-
ed. The barrel, muzzle, dust cover, modified bolt closer,
and front and rear sight assemblies all are rust catchers.
The protruding gas tube in the upper receiver catches
much carbon as does the bolt carrier key. The latter must
be freed of deposits after extensive firing. Built up carbon
deposits here will cause the weapon to malfunction.
The chamber catches much trash also and cleaning is
somewhat difficult. To correct many of these areas of
difficulty, practice good cleaning habits frequently. Oil the
bolt and all moving parts of the weapon thoroughly.
The 5.56mm round is a very lethal projectile due to its ve-
locity. The round causes a very large hole leaving the body
if it strikes a bone. At great ranges, this effect also occurs
to some degree when the round strikes a fleshy portion
of the body. However, the round does not cut through
undergrowth as effectively as does the 7.62mm round.
M-79 Grenade Launcher: The most effective weapon pro-
duced in recent years for use by infantry units is the M-79,
grenade launcher. I refer to it as the platoon leader’s
“artillery battery” and in many respects it is just that. The
six M-79’s organic to the rifle platoon deliver an explosive
accurately up to 375 meters.
Claymore Mine. The Claymore mine is another relatively
new weapon in our arsenal. Its use in the ambush and de-
fense demands no explanation here. A piece of luminous
tape affixed to the back of the mine will provide a visible
guard against the enemy’s ability to turn the Claymore
around.
Explosives: M-26, Fragmentation Hand Grenade. The new
model of the hand grenade, the M-26, makes no snap and
hissing noise as did its predecessor, the MK 11, which is
also used in Vietnam.
Clothing: The Jungle boot again as the name implies is
designed especially for terrain common to Southeast Asia
and other like climates. Canvas sidings and drainage holes
at the arch allow fast drying. Some argue that this boot
causes the feet to get wet in shallow water while the stan-
dard combat boot remains dry inside until boot-top water
in encountered. Only on rare occasions is shallow water
encountered where deeper water is not a step away.
The canvas siding will tear over the inside ankle bone
after extensive use. A small leather patch sewn over this
area eliminates the problem. In addition, the sole cracks
in the center exposing a metal plate. This, however, does
not render the boot useless. Another bad point is that the
boot is not well adapted to mountain operations because
the ankle does not receive adequate support.
The jungle boot is not always readily available through
supply channels. Its substitute, the standard combat boot,
does not hold up well and dries slowly. After repeated use
the leather becomes hard and cracks.
Equipment: The combat pack is a poor means for the
soldier to carry his supplies. First, it cannot hold enough
supplies to sustain operations over a long period of time,
a condition desired in a counter insurgency environment.
Second the pack, cannot be detached from the soldier
65
with ease. This means he must take the pack with him
when he maneuvers against the enemy. Such action re-
duces agility and increases fatigue. Third, when a soldier
uses the prone position, the combat pack presents a high
silhouette as evidenced by the many hits it has sustained
in hostile action.
The problem is remedied by the use of the ruck sack,
either the older model or better still, the new type ad-
opted by Special Forces. The ruck sack is large and can be
detached or dropped easily.
Communications: The new AN/PRC-25 radio features the
new squelch in the SQUELCH position, eliminating the
constant annoying noise experienced in the ON position
at slight cost in range. This
is beneficial when silence is of paramount importance as
in as in the conduct of ambushes and night moves.
The handset is new also and cuts out much background
noise.
The thin plastic membranes over the mouth and ear
pieces are easily broken. Moisture here leads to transmit-
ting and receiving difficulties. The cellophane or plastic
protecting the C-ration
spoon is a field expedient. The plastic protective bag of
the BA 386, battery, provides a better means of protec-
tion. The bag is placed over the entire handset and taped
at the open end.
The water buffalo is encountered often in the rice lands.
This animal is very temperamental and should be avoided
if possible. With no apparent reason, it may charge per-
sonnel and inflict serious injury.
Two types of leech exist in Vietnam. The water leech is
found in standing water and to a lesser extent in streams
and rivers. The rice paddy is a common location for the
water leech which may grow to be six inches in length.
The land or jungle leech presents a greater problem than
the water leech. It is so named because it is found in the
thick jungle undergrowth. Its movement and size resem-
ble the inch worm.
The leech and more especially the jungle leech is capable
of finding and entering the smallest opening. Once on
the skin, it leaves a hole which bleeds freely due to the
leeches’ anticoagulant saliva. These holes, if left unat-
tended, will infect easily.
The solution to this problem is to prevent the leech from
access to the skin.
The Australians have developed an effective method.
The boots are laced and the excess boot string is routed
through a hole out in the trousers at boot top level. The
string is then wrapped around the leg securing the trou-
sers leg to the top of the boot.

H-34 Choctaw Helicopter Crash
Fort Bragg, NC 13 December 1957
By Joe Alexander
Ted Smallen from Loudon Tennessee joined the
Army in January 1957 and earned his paratrooper
wings from the Fort Campbell jump school in July
1957. After jump school, PFC Smallen was assigned
as an infantryman to the 1st Platoon Company D 1st
Airborne Battle Group (ABG) 501st Infantry (1st ABG
501st Inf).
In December 1957, the 1st ABG 501st Inf, command-
ed by COL Harry Kinnard, was assigned the mission
of opposing forces (OPFOR) to the 82nd Airborne
Division at Ft Bragg, NC.
As OPFOR, the paratroopers of the 1st ABG 501st
Inf were dressed in OPFOR uniforms. In spite of the
cold December weather, the Screaming Eagle para-
troopers were determined to be a challenging foe for
their airborne rivals, the 82nd Abn Div.
After two or three days of ground maneuvers, Co D
1st ABG 501st Inf, Commanded by CPT Harold Barber,
conducted an early morning air insertion.
his surprise, suddenly he saw and heard the propel-
ler hit the top of a tree. Someone shouted, “We are
going down” and the H-34 crashed onto the soil of
Fort Bragg. The impact was so great that the engine
separated from the aircraft.
The paratroopers were strapped by seat belts to their
bench seats which were attached to the frame of the
H-34. On impact, the bench seats disconnected from
the frame of the aircraft leaving the paratroopers
strapped to their broken bench seats.
After gathering his wits, PFC Smallen’s realized the
danger of fire and the importance of promptly exit-
ing the H-34. Inside, there was a mangle of para-
troopers who were dressed with full combat equip-
ment and strapped to their broken seats.
True to the paratrooper tradition, no one panicked.
The only exit door on the H-34 is on its right side.
Unfortunately the H-34 had landed on that side and
it was not possible to exit through the door.

Platoon Sergeant Rucker, PFC Ted Smallen and the

rest of the First Platoon Co D were airlifted at first
light on 13 December 1957 on a Sikorsky H-34 Choc-
taw helicopters to conduct the air assault. PFC Smal-
len and other members of his squad were passengers
in the second H-34. It is unclear whether there were
12 or 14 paratroopers on board. The H-34 had a
crew of three; pilot, copilot & crew chief.

It was the crack of dawn and visibility was lim-

ited. This was PFC Smallen’s first ride in a helicop-
ter. Because he had made the required five school
parachute jumps and several unit parachute jumps,
PFC Smallen was accustomed to flying in fixed wing
aircrafts. However, his maiden helicopter flight on
13 Dec 1957 became his most memorable helicopter Photo taken by PFC Charles Willoughby 13 Decem-

During the flight, PFC Smallen was observing the PFC Charles Willoughby broke the window on the left

realized that the H-34 window frame was “attached”
to his waist. When he forced himself through the
window opening, his combat equipment had snagged
on the window frame. He exerted such strength, that
it ripped the window frame from the aircraft.

Although PFC Smallen was close to the window

opened by PFC Willoughby, he was one of the last to
exit the H-34. He stood on the frame of the aircraft
assisting others in unbuckling their seat belts and
escaping through the window.

Except for two crew members who sustained broken

bones, all others escaped the crash with no or minor
injuries. PFC Ted Smallen’s boot was soaked with
fuel, but he was unharmed.

Within minutes, there were other 101st paratroop-

ers at the crash site aiding in the rescue. The crash
victims were assembled and walked about a half mile
to a pick up zone. There, they were air evacuated on
another H-34 to a nearby medical facility.

As the H-34 approached the medical facility’s land-

ing pad, an unsecured aircraft crewman’s helmet
bounced freely within the H-34. Recalling the tragic
crash he had just survived, PFC Smallen feared that
his second helicopter ride was also going to end in a
crash. Fortunately, the H-34 landed safely.

After a medical review, the paratroopers were re-

turned to their units the afternoon of the crash.

Later that evening and in true airborne fashion, Com-

pany D 1st Sergeant Ted Authers sent them back on
trucks to field duty. They continued to participate as
OPFOR to include capturing a battalion headquarters
and numerous vehicles and equipment of the 82nd
Airborne Division. An H-34 Helicopter. Photos provided by CPT Page,

(including parachute jumps) in H-34 helicopters. But,
he never forgot how lucky he was to have survived a
crash on 13 December 1957.

Which, by the way, was Friday the 13th.

SCREAMING EAGLES PAST AND PRESENT REUNITED
GATHERING BRINGS SOLDIERS OF EVERY WAR TOGETHER
By Philip Grey, The Leaf-Chronicle
The evening formalities were going to begin in a few
hours, but some of the men out on the patio by the
hospitality tent probably wouldn’t be there.
Formality just isn’t their thing. But being with the
friends they fought and bled with is, and that’s what
brought them to the rolling hills of Kentucky’s horse
country on Saturday for the 66th reunion of the
101st Airborne Division.
Asked why they continue coming to these reunions
to relive memories most people probably assume
they would rather forget, they’re answers all boiled
down to about the same thing. These men are more
than friends; they are brothers.
Does any other group of friends — college, high
school or otherwise — come close to this? For Will
Wright Jr., the answer is “no.”
Wright, who served in Vietnam in the Recondo unit
of 2/502 Infantry alongside the men at the table,
tried to explain.
“We all have friends,” he said, “From the time we
came back from Vietnam, we had our whole lives.
I had kids, I retired... but everyday (he pointed to
the men around the table), these pictures are in my
mind.
“I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying to find certain
people.”
However, there were many people at the reunion
who also cherished the traditions and the formality,
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
and they began to disappear from the area around
the hospitality tent as the time for the reception and
the memorial dinner approached.
Some of the new attendees of the current crop
of Screaming Eagles were already dressed to the
nines in their Army dress blues, and they cheerfully
stopped as other, older veterans and spouses asked
them to pose for pictures in the lobby.
There was no pecking order or resentment of the
younger soldiers in the minds of the older vets; in
fact, it was just the opposite. The older veterans
showed a great deal of respect for the inheritors of
the legacy. The younger soldiers returned the feeling,
in spades.
Entering the formal dining area, it was obvious a lot
of work had been done. The memorial area was set
up for the evening’s ceremony, and the tables began
to fill with bemedalled uniforms and suits competing
for eye-time with glittering dresses.
The Memorial Ceremony was moving, with selected
combat veterans and escorts coming forward to light
candles in memory of fallen comrades.
World War II veteran Sgt. Reed Pelfry, who jumped
into Normandy on D-Day with the 502nd Infantry, lit
the candle representing that war. Few veterans from
that war are still able to come to these reunions. A
mere decade ago, the WWII contingent would have
filled a third of the hall.
The Korean War candle was lit by Ivan Worrell,
Vietnam by Sgt. Maj. Joe Pullen and the last candle,
representing the generation of Desert Storm and the
69
Global War on Terror, was lit by the new commander
of the 101st Airborne Division, Maj. Gen. James Mc-
Connville.
Dinner followed and then there was a break before
the evening’s speeches began.
Outside in the warm night air, one of the Vietnam
veterans from the hospitality tent area was smok-
ing a cigarette and looking at the last dwindling light
of day, still dressed in a T-shirt and blue jeans. Bill
Spiller had earlier said that he came to these things
because, “I like to go see veterans. I don’t talk much,
but (I) belong.”
Watching the reddening sky, he pondered a question:
Were there many times in Vietnam when he won-
dered whether he would have these days, in places
like this, ever again?
He drew the words out with deliberate slowness.
“Every single day,” he said at last.
Back inside, the room came back to order as the
speeches began with a few short and upbeat words
from the outgoing and incoming 101st Airborne Divi-
sion Association presidents, Tom Sewell and Richard
Pack.
Pack was excited at the prospect of presiding over
next year’s reunion, the 70th anniversary of the
Screaming Eagles, which will be held in Nashville dur-
ing the Week of the Eagles 2012.
“Next year, we’re going to have a good time,” he
boomed, “and we’re going to find out what makes
this world go around.”
70
Maj. Gen. McConville was next up. After a few
perfunctory remarks, he looked out at the room,
thanked the veterans for the legacy that had been
handed down and then gave a special thanks to the
Vietnam veterans who predominated on that night.
“We can’t walk into a shopping mall, an airport or a
restaurant,” McConville began, “without someone
walking up to us and thanking us for our service.
“You served under very different conditions, so I’d
like to ask the Vietnam veterans to stand, and I’d
like to give you a hand.” The room exploded in an
extended ovation for what seemed to be half of the
veterans in the place.
McConville then went on to stress the importance of
the next year’s celebration, with the entire division
back at Fort Campbell prior to the next “rendezvous
with destiny,” which didn’t sound as though it would
be too far behind.
Then McConville turned the floor over to Division
Command Sergeant Major Scott C. Schroeder, the
night’s main speaker.
Schroeder knew his audience and knew that they
didn’t want the dry details of operations and place-
names of the last deployment. He told them instead
about individual soldiers, young men and women
who are the trump card of the American military
because of their ability to take on extraordinary re-
sponsibility far above their pay-grade when the need
arises.
The message was that the division and the legacy are
in good hands. It was a good note on which to end
the formalities.

80 THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011

What Is RIGHT With America
Hugh and I just returned to Tallahassee from the
beautiful state of Tennessee and Fort Campbell,
home of the Screaming Eagles. For six blissful days
we enjoyed, no savored all that is right with the USA.
We were not subjected to the endless droning of
talking heads on television. We purposefully avoided
reading dire headlines about the impending collapse
of the economy and our nation. We were able to
surround ourselves in heaven on earth. We caught
up with old friends, we made new friends. We were
embraced by a vibrant and strong community.
We were welcomed into both the civilian and mili-
tary communities of Clarksville TN, Hopkinsville KY
and Fort Campbell. It was as though we had never
left. We were reminded that one doesn’t say good-
bye but merely, see you later.
Hugh and I were given so many opportunities to get
recharged emotionally and spiritually. The biggest
honor the both of us had ever received in our lives
was that of being allowed to serve at the Hospital-
ity Table during a welcome home celebration and
ceremony. The 101st ABN Div had been deployed in
its entirety for a year. The Division is coming home.
On Wednesday we had the privilege of being part of
that homecoming celebration. As families, mothers,
fathers, wives, husbands, children, brothers, sisters,
grandparents, aunts and uncles waited for their
loved one to arrive at the hangar, we got to see, in
the flesh, all that is right with America.
Children, lots and lots of children. Scrubbed squeaky
clean, dressed in their best. Little girls in red, white
and blue. Bows in their hair. Boys with good hair-
cuts. No pants on the ground. Bright eyes, alert
faces, polite. Babies in strollers who had yet to meet
their fathers. Teenagers who had “no attitude”.
Wives dressed to the nines. Parents and grandpar-
ents with faces lined with worry but lit up with danc-
ing eyes and smiles of anticipation.
THE SCREAMING EAGLE MAGA ZINE | FALL 2011
And finally, the arrival. The long awaited arrival of
young men and women who despite a long plane
ride still had the discipline to stand in yet another
formation, listen to another speech while wanting
more than anything else to break rank and fall into
the hugs and arms of those waiting for them.
There were some returning soldiers who had no
one waiting for them. Hugh and I along with others
gratefully took that opportunity to welcome, con-
gratulate and hug the stuffings out of them.
Thursday we were invited to a BBQ. Gosh, the
Division knows how to throw a party! The depart-
ing Division Commander was kind enough and wise
enough to change up the agenda some and got the
“formalities” out of the way of the food and fellow-
ship time. We had the opportunity to talk with out-
going and incoming leaders of the Division team. I
use the word team because this Division isn’t divided
at all. In fact this Division should be renamed “Plus-
vision” for its flexibility, adaptability and inclusionary
bent.
Our week in Tennesee/Kentucky reaffirmed and reas-
sured. There are communities in the United States
who do stand together. Support each other. Respect
and honor each other and willingly and selflessly
sacrifice on a daily basis so that the rest of us can in
fact complain, gripe and grind teeth.
We all need to find our own magical place to go to
when we need a boost, a reminder of why the United
States is the United States. And to find what is right
in America.
