I recognize a few of those scouts. Ski, what was you're bud's/roomate's name? The tall guy from Long Island? I see Jason Sibley, Shawn Edwards, and Kerkes(?)
Although I wasn't in Bco, I recognize SFC Laporta, SGT Mercado and SSG Holmes very well. Didn't Laporta and Holmes both get WIA'd?
Man, I feel silly. Ha.
If you've got a good, old pic of yourself, please post it. I'm certain I remember you, but not....not as certain.
Rowkowski & Camarrata(sp) were the two roomates, right?
BTW, aren't you a fellow Hoosier? I'm just up the road a bit in Bloomington.
