I Love Me Wall

Welcome to my "I love Me page". This page proudly displays many of my decorations, awards, promotions, etc. that I earned during my 20 years plus career in the US. Army. However, it does not include the many Letters and Certificates I have earned, including one from the U.S. State Department. A second page shows the actual citations for the awards.

My mlitary career began with the US Army Reserves. I was sworn on January 11, 1975 at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts as an Infantryman with Troop D 5 Armored Cavalry, 187 Infantry Brigade (Separate). It ended 21 years later at Fort Hood, Texas as the NCOIC for the S-2 4 Battalion 22 Infantry, 4 Infantry Division on 31 July 1996, at Fort Hood, TX when I retired from active duty at the rank of Staff Sergeant. I have met and made many friends along the way whom I've lost contact with. I hope that maybe this page will be eventually viewed by some of them, and they would contact me. If there is anyone out there that remembers me, please e-mail me to swap stories and talk about shared acquaintances.
