Barry Bowman, Doc Bowman. Those days, the difficult judgement calls that occurred at the opposite point of the clean carpeted floors of the Oval Office. Those judgement calls that either determined the life or death of ourselves or the life and death of others. I hope you are faring well. Contact me, I want to see the pictures of your days in the Tigers. Dan Clint

I was the 2/327 Bn PSNCO during the Sinai Tour 83-84 and am trying to work up a reunion of troops from 82-85 during my reign of terror. Would also like to work out something from former No-Slackers on pooling some money together to send some Xmas goodies to our Brothers in Iraq. Remember the Sinai and how much care packages meant to everybody??????? So squeeze the money out of your wallets and forego that six-pack of Bud for a good cause. At least drop me an email so I can compile a listing of folks. You never know who you might receive mail from.

The members of the 101st Airborne Division serving in combat in Iraq are working hard to honor and carry forward the traditions of earlier generations of Screaming Eagles who served our nation in combat. We are all very grateful to those who served in our ranks before us for the record of selfless service and courage that you established. We are also grateful for your support of our soldiers in Iraq. We will continue to take the fight to the enemy and we will also endeavor to continue the great work our troopers have done in the effort to build the new Iraq.

I served from 1998 to 2001. Started out in HHC 1/327 in the Support Platoon then moved to the S-1 section as the BN CDR's RTO. I then moved on to B Co (Bushmasters). I just wanted to wish all the brothers I left behind the best of luck and a safe journey home to their loved ones. I had the pleasure of serving under the finest Officers and NCO's I have ever met. 1SG Benson, wherever you are, you are the man I try to emulate as an NCO. You were like a father to all of us Bushmasters. Take care of yourself. And Lopez (Vato) stay the course man! Above The Rest!!!! SGT Steve Hall
