#2 My old unit, B 3/503 173rd Abn Bde. I served with them for 2+ years in RVN. The 173rd was the first US Army combat unit deployed to RVN, and the only unit to be deployed in all of the four Corps in RVN. These guys make me damned proud.

#3 I met a young soldier from Fort Carson last night while we were waiting for tables at Appleby's. He's with the 3rd BCT 4th ID and had just returned from Iraq. Thanked him for his service and complimented him on his unit's performance. All these young men and women make us damn proud.
