My Dad worked for Pratt & Whitney, government products, and worked at the high altitude test area that played a large part in the development of the engines for the SR-71. He was very proud of that 'till the day he died.

My Dad served in Frankfurt a coupla years before you in the 3rd Armored Division. I'm surprised I havent seen too many guys on here from the old "Spearhead" Division. I think he was there 68-69 or somewhere in that time frame. He was 'sposed to be a tank driver but ended up secretary to the Commanding General. I always get a kick outta the stories he can tell. Also wish I could find some of my buddies from boot camp, 26 March-19 June '98 Charlie Company trail series PLT 1071
