Some, but not all, of my Band of Brothers. As a platoon commander on my first tour
I had about 26 or so warriors, and we normally put together patrol groups such
as this of a dozen or so for any particular mission. For major deployments,
we would all be in the field. This, if I remember, is a patrol ready for helicopter
collection from the LZ behind.

With my arm around his neck, it seems I am preparing to kiss my machine gunner.
Quite unlikely! :-) I remember before I was commissioned, I was told I should know my soldiers
as their mothers did, and love them just as much. I tried to fill this role.
