Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: As a final "foot note" to my previous message, there are a total of 50 Rangers who have died while in service with the 3rd Ranger Battalion, since 1984. Two (2) KIA: Operation Just Cause, Panama, Six (6) KIA: Operation Gothic Serpent, Somalia, Thirteen (13) KIA: Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan, Thirteen (13) KIA: Operation Iraqi Freedom, Iraq, and Sixteen (16) Killed in Training. Of the Sixteen Killed in Training, there is missing information on ten (10). Anyone who can help with filling in some missing information is welcome to contact me for a copy of the list. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you know someone who doesn't ordinarily read this message board, I ask you to also pass this information on, if you think they would be able to help. Again Rangers, thanks for what all of you did, and for what you do now. Lastly, thanks for supporting the 3rd Ranger Battalion Memorial Expansion project. Every dollar really does count. They are out of room on their current Memorial Stone. Now you know why. "Rangers Lead the Way"....Joe |

She has been chosen to be the Grand Marshall at Lumpkin County's 4th of July festivities. She has supported Camp Merrill in word and deed for years via the local newspaper, and also covered a lot of other stuff (chuckle). I am so proud. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Mike Keohane Message: I expect to arrive at the RMC on Friday o/a 6PM. I will be bringing the following items for the "Fish Fry" & "Critter Cook-out." Four pounds of pork cracklings - 29 light cheddar cheese biscuits - 46 orange cheddar cheese biscuits. I expect that the port cracklings will last for both nights but the cheese biscuits will be "oven-warm" on arrival Friday and should not last. I will be snacking on the two day drive on my oven nroasted potatoes, carrots & parsnips - better than Lifesavers! Available for KP assignments Friday & Saturday. RLTW Mike K. |
