Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Cookie: I remember SGM Fletcher VERY, VERY well. I was his Ops NCO when he reported in for duty, and I was still the Ops NCO when he left (swapped) with SGM Bill Miller. It was Miller who finally got me out of the Ops Shop and back into the business of being an RI. It was then that I went to the Mountaineering Committee and got to work for Gordon Roberts. Some of the best times of my life! |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Jim Owens Message: I consider myself very lucky and fortunate to have served with Col(R)Bob Howard twice. I highly respected him and admired him for everything he took the time to teach me as a young Buck Sergeant and as a Sergeant First Class. He would not ask you to do anything he was not willing to do with you. Sir, you carried more than your share of the weight and you definitely “Led The Way” for many of us…..There are not enough words to express the gratitude for all you did…..Ranger Howard, Rest in Peace- Sir, You will be missed by many.... Thank You…... RLTW Jim Owens |
