Re: O company Rangers Alaska
Several guys in the 1-75th came from there when 1st Batt formed. Being it was over 30 years ago, I do not recall their names though I have the roster of the plank owners of 1st Batt. Memory seems to recall a couple of SSG's and quite possibly one of the 1SG's came from Oscar.kicker wrote:has anyone known or spoken with a O company Arctic Ranger ?
