Congrats to all the veterans of the 2-60th Infantry! It really is about time that more units of the 9th Infantry Division started getting the recognition they rightfully deserve. One of the original division commanders had a policy of minimal awards, being eclipsed by the 1st Cav, any Special Forces unit, and the Marines, among others, in the numbers of awards for valor or for service. It was only during the MG Julian J. Ewell era that this policy changed for the better.
If you have the oopportunity, Gimpy, to ever attend a 60th Infantry Regimental reunion, by all means go - the fun that we have at the 47th Infantry Regimental reunions cannot be matched! Even Doc 2-47 had a great time there, his first visit to the Reunion! I"m currently having a ball, helping to plan for the next one!
Old Reliables Rule, and the Really Old Reliables rule more slowly!
Scouts Out!!
