"Yep ......did you know any of the 7 engineers killed at the very end of desert storm ?"
No. We (NG unit, superior unit award) were called off within four hours of mobilizing to clear around a city over there for our assigned inf. brigade and were very busy getting ready at home at the time. Gens. decided that they wouldn't go into the cities at that time, so we stayed home. It was about all over then. ...back to lots of schools and public affairs stuff south of the border.
