Thanks Bob for the photos. I still see a bunch of "one eyed pirates" in many of those mug shots. The cover photo of the hootches brought back memories. I can still see Howard Hunt holding formation in that old Ranger Barracks Company Street. I can remember huddling up to the old heater inside as a Ranger Student, and I still remember carving my name in one of them....long gone, but in my memories like yesterday. Thanks again. Joe |

Need some help. Bill Acebes is sending around a roster by e-mail to original members of 1st Ranger Battalion, and he's asking that the list be "scrubbed" and made complete.
If anyone has an old jump roster, unit roster or anything of that type, you can probably add a lot to it. Some of the info is from "official records" but some of it is being "cut and taped" from memories, and I have to admit, my memeories for first names is terrible. We called each other by last names or nicknames back then, and I can only recall just a few of the first names, as I reviewed the roster.
I believe there are 610 names on the current roster that he's circulating, but there are a few blank boxes with regards to first names. If anyone can help him, please feel free to contact him at: acebes175@hotmail.com |

I just read an article in Patrolling Magazine about a former Ranger of 3/75 who was serving as a Deputy Sheriff, Burke County, NC. While in the performance of his duties, he was shot in the neck, and is now paralyzed. He is a patient at Shepherds Clinic in Atlanta Georgia. I ask and encourage all Rangers to e-mail him and give him a few words of encouragement. You can get a message to him by using the Shepherds Clinic e-mail message system. WEB address is: www.carepages.com./shepherd.....and once your there, you simply sign in, and then leave a message for martinjlawing. Ranger Lawing served with B Co, 3rd Ranger Battalion from 95-98. I know he'd appreciate words of support and encouragement. thanks...joe |
