I knew Mr. Devlin when he was a young Lt platoon commander in Duke's Coy 1RCR back in the early 80's &  I was a young snot-nose pte infanteer in the same coy. Nothing wrong with it, but just out of my own curiosity and sheer ignorance, why would an infantry officier assume responsibility as the...

About 13,000 protesters gathered at a park near the port of Yokosuka, just south of the capital, where the USS George Washington aircraft carrier will be based, media reports and organizers said. Just my humble opinion; I'm no tree hugger (far from it), but perhaps these fine folks should...

Some of he older guys on here who were with 1RCR when we used to go to Norway for winter warfare training, will know what I'm talking about. Yep, retired Grunt, remember those days well with Duke's in Earton and Norway; I loved the pressure cooker in the griz's.
