Summerall Field - where it’s summer all the time! D Co. 1-3INF (TOG) - 2005-2008 Escort - sword qualified (not very many people in the Army can say that.. Took those skills with me over to USADSS where I also served as color guard PSG) -This we’ll defend
Watching this video brings back some very excellent memories of my time in the 3rd US Infantry TOG from February 1984- December 1986 with Alpha and Bravo Companies.
What a wonderful ceremony. The United States of America are such a great country to honour that much their heroes who fight and who fought for their homeland. Musics, uniforms, flags, are so many symbols that allow us to always remember what sacrifices soldiers do to allow us to live in freedom. Respectfully, Victor (France).
LOL! I served in A Company from February 1984- November 1985 at Fort McNair with the CINC GUARD! Yes you are right about wearing a white wig with bobby pins and a hair net! Yes it was a test of one's masculinity !
