Rear Toggle Assembly - Disassembly Problem

Bob..FYI, my son was in the 173rd Airborne out of Italy. He went in to Iraq from the north when it all started. He's light, so he went down with the base plate of his crew's large morter. He was wouded by a rocket propelled grenade while his crew was sleeping in Chemical Ali's palace. It cost him both feet. He was the first 173 soldier to be wounded in war since Viet Nam.
Sorry to hear that...I was also an 81MM Mortar Gunner. There is little about war that is glorious. Those of us that have been there know that and those like your Son who have received grevious wounds live it every day. I hope he is adapting to his new condition with the paratrooper will to strive. Please..when you see him next... shake his hand for me and tell him this old Paratrooper is proud of him , his service and sacrafice.
