No kidding!
You're the first *real* 26th Regiment vet I've seen. I did basic training in Alpha 2-26 back in the late 80s. For many years I thought that the 26th was a TRADOC unit, not a unit with a long and proud history.
Little did I know...
yep, I'm a real Blue Spader.....Dobol. Alexander Haig commanded it till just before I got there.....he got his Bird and took command of the 3rd Bde at Di An (We were 1st Bde, Phuoc Vinh, then to Quan Loi).
