Battery_Clerk.JPGBattery Clerks of the 2/9th Arty125 viewsAlmost looks like he's working stateside. He's James L. Keller, 2/9th Hq, Svc Battery. Photo dated 1969.
{Webmaster Note: It's interesting to compare the photos from 1966 to the ones in '69 and later. It looks like we were eventually fighting a stateside war overseas. I refer to it as a "summer camp live fire exercise"}

DY-13.jpgReunion Photos - Danny Yates125 viewsGiving it the ol' "heave-ho". During our basic training orientation of new soldiers on the record hand-grenade course on Thursday morning, the "old soldiers" were invited to try their hand at it.
