Hey Doc.
I'm not sure where ya been but the first two ships from the Navy's RO-RO (roll on roll off) fleet of pre-positioned equipment ships (designed to float Army MECH BDE vehicles off the coast of hot spots) where christened the USS Shugart and the USS Gordon. Their Wives were at the cermeonies as well as some of their mates. The whole class of vessels are going to be named after MOH recipients.
Stephanie Shugart cave an incredible speech about the "winds of freedom" blowing across the decks of the USS Shugart.
The 3rd Ranger Bn rigger shed at Ft. Benning is the "Shugart Ranger Rigging Facility" as well.
Of course there is also the MOUT site at JRTC at FT Polk. The "Shugart/Gordon urban warfare training facility".
OOps, sorry Jason. did not see your post.
