Good Evening, Canteeners!
WOW!
I was at Camp Shelby, MS, getting ready for deployment with The Kids of The Company, when this went down. The story of Raven 42 got passed around every unit on the post, and was used as a teaching point for convoy training.
SGT Hester had mugs and glasses raised to her for months afterward.

Good evening, Sarge...((HUGS))...thanks for sharing your experiences with the Raven 42 story and how it was used.
