On Memorial Day

These are the men of 60th Company, OC 504-68, of Fort Benning, Georgia, who were killed in Viet Nam.

We graduates of that 1968 class at Infantry Officers Candidate School, commemorate these seven each Memorial Day.

One graduate:  1LT Jacob Lee Kinser, a Huey helicopter pilot.

Two Tactical Officers:  CPT Reese Michael Patrick and 1LT Daniel Lynn Neiswender, both infantry commanders.

Four class drop-outs:  CPL Sherry Joe Hadley, SP4 Reese Currenti Elia Jr., CPL Robert Chase, and SP4 Jeffrey Sanders Tigner, all infantry riflemen.

The liberal mainsteam media today despises the military and has a hard time concealing the fact, when they bother to do so. They generally mock those who serve as victims, or else get so smarmy about them that it’s obvious a trick is being played. So influenced, only about 1 percent of eligible Americans join.

Nevertheless, despite the sneers of the NYTimes and the old big three networks  “after more than a decade of war, remarkable men and women are still stepping forward.”
