No I did not remember that SGT Thomas Lucken. Thanks for the reminder. 26 years ago I was working as part of a team which was developing the operational plan for that war fight. At the times we could not discuss with anybody else what we were doing.

Will be attending an OPD on Friday at Fort Benning's Marshall Auditorium (Bldg 4) on this subject.

I was 10 years old when my Dad left for Desert Shield/Storm. I will never forget that. We were stationed in Fort McClellan, Alabama.

Oh how I remember. I was a newly minted TC Major and working the ammo docks back state side.

I was 10 or 11. It was crazy watching it on t.v.

Yes I can't believe how the time has flown. I was at the Joint Interrogation Facility East. Perhaps the last time we used the old "Theater Interrogation Facility" concept based on the old FM.

I remember that day and time well. I was stationed in Germany as a 13N and when we got the word we practiced harder on our MOS and was pulling security like crazy. I know I was kind of scared not knowing what to expect.
