brother & he agrees with Ken Ward. Well I'm in the Field Artillery - 105mm howitzer but I'm not saying it is the hardest. Your doughboys has the toughest of any outfit. I saw what some of those boys went through at Hatlen(?), Hagendough(?), Wingin(?). Also through the Hart(?) mountains. You got to be physically & mentally fit to go through what those boys go through my hats off to ever doughboy. Well Dave, I just got to quit now. Some of he boys are going out fishing. Their only fishing equipment is a half dozen hand grenades. That's on the Q.T. though. Thanks again for the Scuttlebutt and to those ladies who help out. Sincerely yours, [PF] Ron Crossett
