Guestbook Entries - January through March 1999Last_name: Hanson CommentsFort Knox May-Sep 1968, Ray Barracks Sep 68-May 70 -I served under LTC Forbes, COL Drake and Col Tibbets.I was a platoon leader and club officer/custodian for the O-club, NCO-club and EM-club with the Elvis Presley stage{though he never performed there}.I visited Ray Barracks this past September, thirty years to day that I originally reported. It was a great tour in the 60s and a trip down memory lane this past September. The EM-club is now a bowling alley, the NCO -club is used by all and the O-club is used infrequenty for special events. The area used by the 1/32 is vacant as many new buildings have been constructed past the old bowling alley and tank parks.It seems Ray Barracks has a future unlike many of posts that existed in the 60s. I would enjoy an e-mail from those who were statined at Ray Barracks.

Last_name: MITCHELL CommentsSUPPLEMENT: In my last 2 comment efforts I failed to mention my period of service; I was at "the Rock" from December 1961 to July 1964. This time included trips to the ever-wonderful Grafenwohr and Hohenfels. We were controllers for the 3rd AD's annual TCQC (tank crew qualification) in the summertime at Graf. The tour was a great experience! It made some changes in me . .for the better, I think. I mentioned a MAJ Thrasher before; he was a VERY positive force in my life, and at a time when I needed it most. When I returned from emergency leave (my mother had passed away) in '63, he helped me in a way that I have wanted to thank him for. He sent me to the NCO Academy at KG in an effort to get my mind off of the loss; it worked! Wherever you are out there, Mr. Thrasher..... God bless ya!

Last_name: PORTER CommentsI joined the 2d polatoon of C Company, 13th Armored Inf. Bn.(Honor and Pride), part of Combat Command A, right out of high school in 1955.

We were stationed in Ayers Kaserne outside of Kirch Göns, Germany, aka "the Rock" We were later disignated the 2d Armored Rifle Bn. 46th Inf. Although I spent 22+ years in the Army, these were the best years of my life. Charlie Company 13th AIB had a reunion last summer at Fort Knox, Ky. where it all started. We still all had a great time after 40 some years. A great percentage of the men I served with in the 23th went on to make the Army a career. The unit must have given us something. it's good to see this interest in the 3d AD.

I was a M1-A1 driver, loader, gunner, company clerk, commanders driver, and friend to all of those that I have come in contact with. I will never as long as I live forget those brave men in my unit. We went days, weeks without showers, ate food with bugs in it, listen to our walkmans and BBC on the short wave. The nights were cold and clear.The stars were at your finger tips. Watching the air sorties at night on the onset of the war and wondering, am I going to make it through this? am I strong enough to face what ever happens? the answers in the end were yes. We came home late at night long after the parades and cheers have gone by months earlier. We came home as proud Third Armored Division combat patch wearing, been there done that, tasted battle, kicked some Iraqi ass proffessional soldiers. Thank you to all of my commerade's in arms, I miss you all very much. Please, if you recognize and or remember me, please contact me. Thank you and God bless. SPC-4 WATSON, MICHAEL D.

After this time, I became the XO for A Co for 10 months followed by assignment as the S-1. I had a great time during this period. It was a great Bn in a great Bde in a great Division. I had the opportunity to meet some of the WWII Spearheaders in England when they visited for the 50th Anniversary of D-Day. I was the US Exchange officer to the British Infantry School in Warminster, and I participated in a service for these heroes in the church at codford St. Mary.
