In 1965, my assistant A-Team Leader (lLT Reicle) and I were sitting in the snack bar in Frankfurt, Germany in our Class-A uniforms with the pathfinder patch on our sleeves. A transportation corps captain stopped at our table and asked why we were wearing winged torches on our sleeves. lLT Reichle replied that we carried the torch in the 1964 Rome Olympics. The captain nodded his head and continued on his way.
