RIP Warrior.

I remember seeing a POW/MIA flag being flown as the units colors somewhere in the 82nd Airborne area. If memory serves correctly, it was 1986 and the unit was 4/325. The talk of the day was it was not authorized, but who was going to tell a LTC and/or his SGM it couldn't be flown.

"Take care Newt!"
