Danny_-John_Wayne-_Fort.jpg46 years earlier...Not much change, eh?
The FDO wouldn't wear his .45cal, so when we moved, I usually did. Other times, it set on the FADAC if someone wasn't wanted in the FDC. So, it was handy to have around. It sent a message.

Danny_and_Buddies.jpgGood Looking GroupDanny decided to link up both with Terry Stuber (left) and Geary Burrows (right) for a solid BS session between redleg brothers.
We met for a Supper, along with our wives in Altus, NM on Sept 16, 2011. Terry and his wife were on their way to NM. We had a ball telling on each other.

DF-1.JPG"Short Round""Short Round" was the mascot for Bravo Battery, 2/9th Arty. Short Round was wounded and Danny was the one who stitched him up and took him to the Doc. Short Round stayed in Danny's bunk. I I took him to be sewed up when he was hit. He was written up in The Stars & Stripes newspaper a couple different times. Our hero!
