First because I was a project officer involved with the introduction of Redeye to US Army Hawaii in the early 70&#8217;s.  Second, because as an enlisted man I was assigned to an armored 155 field artillery battalion located in Hammelburg, Germany back in the  50&#8217;s.   Our mission was to support an armored cavalry unit patrolling the Fulda Gap.  Your book is wakening many dormant memories and impressions I had of my first overseas tour in Germany, the alerts, the times spent in the field and of the many unique characters I encountered in my adventures as a  young soldier.<\/p>\n<p>I can closely associate with the situations you&#8217;ve so far revealed.
