I was 2nd Platoon Leader during Operation Desert Storm. On the night of 26-27 Feb,1991, during a horrendous night attack against the Tawakalna-Iraqi Republican Guards, and passage through the 2nd ACR, our Alpha section was separated from the Company after BFV D-21 threw a track. By the time the BFV was repaired many hours later, a vain attempt to reach Delta Company was made, but ended in disaster. BFVs D-26 and D-21 were destroyed by friendly fire from M1A1s from 1st ID, in which we were attached. I was sitting atop D-21 when we were attacked. SSG (SFC) Moreira was wounded in both his eyes by the explosion, SPC Alan Brigg's right leg was horribly maimed, and others wounded. Besides an Iraqi EPW that was killed at the scene, SPC James C. Murray was killed seconds after I laughed at his dirty face. Murray is buried only 15 minutes from my house in Texas. Rest in peace Murray. God bless you, your daughter, and the rest of your family. The war will never go away for me, but I've learned to cope as best as I can. I'm in the legal field now. |

I arrived in Garlstedt in and left in . I was the D6
driver for CPT Schull and CPT Meinhardt. Some of my best memories are
with the soldiers of Delta 1/41. I will never forget the pushball battles
that resulted in bruises and dirty faces. I will also never forget the way
1/41 performed in battle. God rest all of those who didn't make it back.
We miss you! I'm also trying to find Sgt. Rob Harris. I saw him last in
Albuquerque in late 92' when he stopped by my house. Please let me
know if anyone has contact info.

I was in 3rd Herd and will never forget SGT Wild and the rest of the bunch. He made sure we were always alert and on our toesÖ..especially his section PT boxing sessions. Mock remembers that one I know! HAHAHA After Desert Storm, I went on block leave and was hit by a drunk driver in a nearly fatal car accident where I suffered a lacerated aorta and broken femur. After rehab, I didn’t want to leave the army so I got a medical reclassify to 42L. Not the best of jobs for promotion but I like to serve my country, that is important to me. Presently in Korea, I reflect back on 1/41 and still believe that was the best unit I ever been in up to now. God be with our comrades who didn’t make it back with us, we miss them. I hope to hear from some of you! “DEATH MERCHANTS” |

I took command of D Co in Nov 1985. We reflagged to A Co 1-41 Infantry in 1986 when we did the COHORT move to Germany under LTC Gregg, Mad Dog, Pulley. I subsequently commanded HHC. The 6+ years that I spent in 1-41 Infantry are the most memorable of my career. I served under the finest leaders Ive ever known and with the finest soldiers in the Army. What a great time we had together!! | |

Served in 1st Plt, D co, 1/41 INF for 3 years prior to the war, during the war and for several months afterward. Went to civilian life and have been working my way up the ladder in Logistics. Finally made it to Director of a warehouseing logistics company and then got called up for OIF 3. At this moment I'm in Baghdad Iraq serving as a foreign military advisor with 5th Special Forces. Had been working for 10th group for a while before 5th took over. Spending my days training one of the Iraqi SF batallions (what a struggle!) and running convoys around the Baghdad area. Believe it or not I ran into Craig Wilson over here about 3 months ago. There was this SF guy running a special school across the street from my subcen that I could swear I knew. Couldn't place the face for the life of me! Yep. He's a Warrent Officer in the SF. Has a good team. Really liked his guys. Craig, good luck to you next time your out this way. Personaly, I'm not coming back here if I can help it. Had too much time in Iraq, just don't feel like vacationing here ever again, but wouldn't mind working with SF. Great bunch of (Type A personality) people. |

2nd PLT Master Gunner (SSG). My gunner was SPC Christian and my driver was SPC Murray. On the morning of 27 Feb 91, the A section (D-21 and D-26) were hit by direct fire. We had thought that it was a Republican Guard counterattack. The section was separated and picked up by 1-34 AR, 1ID. Upon our return to Germany is when we found out - that was the unit that engaged us. Murray was killed by friendly fire. God rest his soul. |

I ended up sticking around Garlstedt until 1-41 closed its doors. This was to facilitate me getting married. I was sent to Ft. Irwin, California in 1992 in order to take my place among the OPFOR. After 3 years of eating dust, working on M551 Sheridans and kicking BLUFOR's butt on the battlefield I was sent to BNCOC. There I met up with a partied some with SSG Jud Myer. I was sent back to Germany (C 3-5 CAV and C 1-36 IN). Enroute to Germany I completed the Master Gunner course... and for those of you who might remember.. guess who I saw there... SSG Patrick Hogan! I didn’t know how to react to that one.. He worked in the school house along with SSG Elsie. I was excited about going to Germany... Little did I know that I was going to spend half of that tour in Bosnia (Enjoying my time there with people like SGT Bonetti and SFC Yovanovich). In 1998 I returned to the good ol US of A to Ft. Carson, Colorado (Met up with SGT Beck). From there I attended OCS and was commissioned on 11 October, 2001. I conducted a PCS to Ft Gordon, GA in November of 2001 and was assigned to the 67th Signal Battalion as a platoon leader. I left Gordon and took a 2 year, all expenses paid, vacation in Pensacola, FL to get my degree. Right now I am happily married (14 years) with a 9 year old Son and a 6 year old Daughter (Both Black belts in Tae Kwon Do). I am currently a Captain attending the Signal Captains Career Course in Ft. Gordon, GA. I have recently been chosen to go into Functional Area 53 Information Systems Management. This will keep me in the school house until Dec 06. By the way, I have also reunited with an old buddy of mine. Chad Ward of A co. I would like to find out about: Jeff Oberlatz, Rob Rader, Jud Myer, McCulloch, Morrison, (Monster) Baltiera. I welcome all correspondence. | |

Well, Well... It's been a long time since we Rock 'n Roll'ed hasn't it? Seems like 100 years has passed. Until i see photo of an M-2 or smell some diesel exhaust or feel sand on my skin, then it seems like yesterday. Strange how time is elastic like that.
Thanks for all you guys who served. You are all truly good and honorable men. May our creator cut us all a little slack for the sacrifice we made, some of you so much more than the rest of us.
I wish to send a special thanks to all you guys still in uniform. |

I was stationed in Garlstedt Germany for about 3 years. Their I was a
S.A.W gunner in first squad; first platoon. Yes I fought in the Gulf War.
After that experience I decided it was time for me to go. I had enough of the
U.S government for one life time. I left the military as a E-4
(Specialist). I moved back home with home parents in P.A, went to college, then dropped
out and decided to go back some odd years later. Finished school with a
Computer Repair Technology Diploma, moved on to get a Unix Programming and
Novell Networking Certification. Finally I moved backed home to sweet Brooklyn
NYC with a fortune 500 Company in the NASDAQ. My role here is Lead
Solutions Architech (Senior Consultant). I love the pay..........
Yes I witnessed September, 11, 2001. The Brooklyn Bridge is about 3
miles from my house and another 3 miles from the WTC. So we felt it up close
and personal. I think we can agree for those that went to war that one
tragic event is enough for a life time.
Two is something for the ages. I would like to thank my man Wes Nall
for finding me. I never forgot you Wes; and I hope we stay in touch. Also
for those that remember Deon Sead, and William Gaskins, I actually met up
with them in the early 90's. I have lost touch with them since then. To all
my military brothers I hope we can keep this line of communication open
and maximize its potential.

Served in D Co. 2nd Platoon, from Nov 86 to Oct 88. Then sent to Ft. Stewart Ga, where I served in A Co. 2/7th infantry,
(Cotton Balers? - you've gotta be kidding me!) 24th ID in which I served until my ETS in June 1990.
Little did I know, however, that I was not through with the army on that lovely day I ETS'd! On Jan 30th 1991 I was recalled
to active duty and spent a few lovely weeks in Ft. Benning (hey...don't worry...you guys are
only staying stateside to guard empty bases!) and then, suddenly and unexpectedly, being shipped to Grafenwoehr for
another few weeks to get ready for the Gulf (you guys will be casualty replacements!) Great...Ft.
Benning and Grafenwoehr...the last two places on this big ball of dirt I thought I would NEVER see again!
Got out, this time for good, in March 1991. Went back to college (University of Cincinnati). Graduated Magna Cum
Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, 1995 in Philosophy. Now I can bullshit about anything.
Currently working as a software testing administrator and programmer (in C#!!!) for Cincinnati Financial Corporation, and also a proud father of four and counting!
Remember these names, anyone?
It would be nice to hear from some of our fellow grunts sometime!

Now own a home inspection company and am an USAF Aux. 1st LT, Search and Rescue Pilot. | |

OK, I came to garlcatraz Feb 89 and left in Aug 91, when I was sent to Schweinfurt to the 3rd ID. I left service Nov 93 as a SSG. I was BLACK SIX GULF. I just want everybody to know that I have a heavy burden in my heart for the loses we endured in the gulf. SGT Crumby was my best friend. I named my son after him. I still have his dog tags, which 1SG Williams got set in transparent plastic. Davila, Kramer, Kidd, and Crumby are men I will never forget. After I got out, I stayed in Germany until Aug of 2002. I have tryed just to forget all of it. My mind has been pretty much blank about the whole thing until this war that we are having now started. It seems to come back in waves. There are times that I just go blank, and then dont know what happened. I hope all of you who are "Straight and Stalwart" are doing well. I would be real happy to hear from any of you. CPT Wilson did not deserve his Silver Star. The real heros of that night will be remembered! |

It was really hard to remove the patch from over my heart when I left, boy did I get a lot of funny looks because of the new triangular spot on my faded bdu's when I pcs to Ft. Carson. I left on Oct 27, 1990 and my unit was activated Oct. 29, 1990. I have a few pics that I will forward when I dig them out. I was all the way in the back so I have a few of the post that might interest you. |

I was the 3rd Platoon Leader for A Company 1/41 Inf from May 1990 until we returned back from the Gulf. Shortly after, I became the XO for B Company.
1/41 Infantry was one of the highlights of my career. What a great bunch of guys who kept me in stitches. You guys were the best. After the
Battalion folded I headed to the Berlin Brigade for a year to work as the S-3 Air for 6/502 Inf. After that I was detailed to the Quartermaster Corps
and became a logistics officer. I spent the next 5 years in the 82d Airborne Division serving as the Logistics Plans officer for the Division, the
Adjutant for the Division Support Command, and a Forward Supply Company Commander for the 3rd Brigade. After Bragg I spent three years working for the
Quartermaster General in Virgina. After that I attended the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth and this past summer PCS'd to the
101st Airborne as the Division Materiel Management Officer.

Over there we shot the tow missles at targets out of the Bradley, now I work for the company that makes the missles. Go figure. I had a lot of friends in D Co and it is like B Co never existed. I can not find anyone from B Co. Any suggestions ? |

I was platoon sergeant of 3d Plt, C 1/41 (later the winners of best
Inf. Squad in Usaeur competition). It was my second tour in 1/41 as I had
been in A Co. when they first got BFVs in 1983 at Ft. Hood, TX. My favorite
platoon was my "combat Platoon". If anyone knows of any old Catamounts, give
me a holler. It gets boring here in DC sometimes.

Just Looking for anyone else that might have been in our unit at the same
time. Have been thinking about the guys for a long time. This is the first
time I've run into anything. Anyone else used to play on the softball teams
from HHC? Most of my time was spent hauling Ammo for HHC using the Hemtt.
Other than that we used to go to Bremerhaven or Bremen on the weekends to
party, until "Stretch" had a head on with a bus on the way home one night.
Anyone remember those days? |

After Desert Storm I was stationed to Ft Polk, LA. There I was part of
3/6 IN of the 5th IN DIV until they were deactivated and named 1-41 IN of
the 2nd AR DIV (fate, I guess). After Polk, I re-enlisted to go to Ft
Carson and was assigned to 1-12 IN of the 4th IN DIV. I stayed there until Uncle
Sam said I should be a recruiter in Greeley, CO. After reruiting, I was
stationed to the 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division,
Ft Riley, KS.

After leaving 1/41, I was assigned to D 5/12 CAV Ft Knox, Ky (5/12 later became 1/16).
I hated damn near every minute of Ft Knox.
I went from one of the best units (on the battlefield and off) to some REMF-like US Army Armor Center assignment.
Had briefly thought of making the Army a career until I went stateside.
After ETS graduated from East Carolina University and currently reside in Kitty Hawk, NC.

I left active duty when Garlstedt shut down. After 6 years I rejoined the reserve and now work weekends for the 311th Corps Support Command in Los Angeles, California as a Corps Transportation Officer. In November 2002 I am scheduled to travel to camp Doha Kuwait for a year active duty tour. Civilian job is an account executive for a pharmaceutical company. No Gulf War Syndrome yet, but If you knew my in Germany--I was already nuts. I've become a lot calmer in my old age. | |

Let me say striaght off 1/41 AD(Fwd) was the Best unit I've ever had
the Honor of serving in. I read all the Charlie Co. posts on this
site and I only have ran into a few people from that little Kasern in
North Germany. My Most special place at heart is Amoungst you all me
young and green behind the ears, I learned the most with you. I was
in in-out of the army untill march31 206 2006 active ETS.

I arrived in Garlstedt after BT in Ft. Benning (A 3/32). Was originaly in E Co 1/41 then went to HHC when the deactivated the Co. I was the BN FO
Driver during the war. I worked under MSG Tester, Maj Hulse, etc. I spent alot of time on SFC Peters (BN Master Gunner) and PFC Derek Stanleys Bradley.
SPC Stephen Isaacs smoked a ton of my cigs. I am currently an E-6 (pending E-7) on recruiting in Central NJ. After Garlstedt I went to the 101st at Ft
Campbell then on to 10th MTN in Ft Drum. Like most, I knew alot of men throughout 1/41. Murray was a good friend of mine. Peace be with him and his
family. I was in contact with Edgar Serrano, who now lives in Florida, but lost contact since coming out on recruiting duty.

I was a 31V(now 31U) in the BN Commo Platoon of HHC 1/41 from December
1987 till some time in April or May of 1990. I don't
remember exactly because i took terminal leave, but my ETS was as an
E-4 in June of 1990. I didn't quite make it to the big
sandbox, but i bet i crossed paths with alot of you at some point in
the motor pool, on good old LDCK, or in the field somewhere.

31C RATT Operator with HHC 3/41 Infantry. Loved Garlstedt but not the alerts. Great duty. Friends I miss from HHC, CPL Stephen Sullivan, SPC Mike Miller, SPC Mike Null, SPC Robert Cork. I was an idiot for not using a camera in the military. If anyone has any photos of Garlstedt please let me know. Of course unclassified. I miss Germany, it was great! |

I was part of the 3rd Battalion 41st Infantry (Mechanized) stationed at Ft. Hood, TX from 1987 to 1990. I am currently in the Army Reserves as a 68n avionic mechanic for the Apache helicopter from 11m mos. It is definitely less regimented. Went to Ft. Eustis, VA for MOS training from Feb 1998 to July 1998, I scored 300 on the final exit PFT and received a certificate of achievement from the Brigade colonel. |

Comments: Where do I start? I’d love to hear from anyone from B co. 2/66 AR that was there from 1988-1990. I thought I was being sent to nowhere when I got my assignment, but what an interesting “nowhere” it was. I remember PSG Puckett, 2LT Kirby, 1SG, Brown, Sickles, Brightsprak, Easy, Nicotra, Tanner, House, Gaudett, Smitty, Weeks, Beulin, Theissen and last, but not least, Cpt. Gonzalves(sp). If anyone knows how to get a hold of any of these people, please inform me of their contact info. That place had alot to do with how I developed as a person and it will always have a place in my thoughts. One memry that pops up is a remember when we put Break Free and diesel on our tanks to make them look “pretty”. Classic. |
