When I was at Rio Hato with 2/7 SFG during Just Cause / Promote Liberty, the locals called Noriega "Pineapple Face," I thought that was funny. I remember rummaging through that beach house, it was nice and almost everything in it was destroyed anyway. I also remember shooting at that island with a .50 cal trying to set that pavillion on fire with the tracers. The 7th ID tried to hit it with mortars from a mile away but miscalculated and almost hit our camp. Sometimes the bad guys would try to sneak up on us at night in their boats, using the shadow of the island for concealment. Flares would go up and they would go away for a couple nights. I really don't have any thrilling stories to tell about Panama, but it's nice to know that that little conflict hasn't been forgotten.
