50ty Years Ago, OCS, Class 06-69

Today, March 6th, 1969 a bunch of wet-nosed kids marched across the stage at Infantry Hall, Ft Benning Ga and received their Butter Bars.

They were giddy, aggressive, brash, overconfident kids, that knew no bounds..

I was one of them.

To those that we have lost, I salute you and will never forget.
