Four members of the elite, segregated outfit -- the 2nd Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) -- were guests of Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III at a Twilight Tattoo here, June 25 that honored non-commissioned officers.

I knew Ranger James Queen, the company XO. He was inducted into the Ranger Hall of fame in 1994.
