J_Orr-1.JPGJerry Orr's photos145 viewsJerry Orr and John "Moon" Mullins are pointing fingers at the Hunter Steakhouse, a short walk from the Crowne Plaza reunion hotel. The Steakhouse served very large portions; you got a full tummy for a good price. Seated at right is Steve Sykora, attending his first 35th Inf Regt reunion. Steve was on hand for our "historic reunion" at Ft Sill in 2013.

Bronze_Star_Ceremony.JPGBronze Star Ceremony145 viewsAfter I returned home, I didn't know that I was put in for any award. Then I got a letter asking if I wanted a formal military color guard presentation. Since I was back home living with my widowed mother and two younger sisters, I said "yes" mainly for their benefit. Sure enough, they had me go to the Louisiana National Guard barracks where they called out the Color Guard and I was presented my Bronze Star.
Maybe I should go back for my Air Medal? Never got that one.
