I had a young Lt in Germany that I worked side by side with that needed a ride to the Saab dealer in Frankfort to pick up his new Saab one day. That was in 79/80, sharp car, I traded my piece of junk in on a brand new Ford Mustang while we were there. That young Lt turned into a full Colonel and a hero on 9-11 at the Pentagon.

Mark was one of very very few Lt's I had respect for and one of few officers I had respect for during my career. We were the OIC and the NCOIC , S-2 75th Field Artillery Bn. We were the Bn A/B team members for accountability of our 8inch Nuclear rounds and the codes used to release those weapons and the training of other A/B members at battery level.
