@Roadking1970 Thanks much to whoever shot the video. Made my heart contract. I was a kid in Friedburg when my dad was CSM of 1/32 in 71-73. Later, I came back as PVT to SGT in CSC 1/32 Scout Platoon 1977 to 1979. I ended up serving on active duty from 1976 to 2006. Friedburg set me on the road to a great career. My best to all you Bandits out there. Don Shipman
