My second company commander. I had a love/hate relationship with him. I blamed him for deaths that happened to member of the company.It has taken 30 years to realize he was only 24 yaers old and was doing the best he could. Didn't find out that he was killed after he left the company untill 1992.    Ray Armstrong

Note: Art Tomaschek was killed during his second tour however, as he had been both XO then Company Commander with Co F 50th Inf LRP, 25th ID during 1968-1969 and well liked by most, he is also claimed by the men of that unit as one of their own.    David Regenthal
