Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Mike Flack Message: As I sit here warm and dry this Thanksgiving Day, I am reminded of the most memorable Thanksgiving I ever had. It was Thanksgiving Day 1974. I was a Tac Officer and my class was in the Mountain Phase. They came in off of RM1R33 (if I remember the numbers after all these years) on Thanksgiving Day. As usual, the students looked pretty poor. They got cleaned up and went in to the Thanksgiving meal around 1700 hrs. It was a great meal as all meals in the MRC dining facility were. After the meal, various people, me and others felt the need to say something. That turned into an impromptu talent show. One of our Cambodian students sang "Delilah" and sounded just like Tom Jones. Everybody joined in on the chorus. Then a couple of students from Ghana did a war dance. I finally had to put a stop to it so they could get ready to go back to Ft. Benning the next day. Through all of it, the cooks stood by and waited. They should have been cleaning up to go home for the day, but they never said a word, just let us enjoy the time there. I have always been grateful for that. One of the students was a young Captain named George Casey. He has a pretty good job now and I take full credit for his success. It was just a good time and I can't ever sit down on Thanksgiving Day without thinking about that one. All the best to Rangers and their families everywhere. RLTW! |
