Many of us that were stationed at Lee Barracks remember "bugging out" to the Sand Dunes for training exercises. Found this picture on the internet a few days back. Note the last line on the sign. Oops, to late!

When were you at Robert E. Lee barracks? I was in Co. A, 1st Battalion from 62-64.

I came after you, 1970 - 1972. There are a couple of guys that visit here occasionally that were there in '60s. Hopefully they will see your message and hook-up with you.

Thanks for your service!

ATW!
