Ceremony 5/29 at Mountain Ranger Camp

Post by garyedolan »

Each year at the 5th RTBn Open House, the USMRA has the honor of placing the names of Fallen Rangers on a road sign at the bridge that crosses the Etowah River on Camp Frank D. Merrill. Friends and family members are invited to attend and help honor our fallen comrades.
Every student who has trained at Camp Frank D. Merrill has crossed this bridge at some time during his time in the mountains. As the Ranger students walk in the shadow of the sign, they can be inspired by the dedication to the “Ranger Way” that each man named there represents.

Joseph Castagna

Paul Sawtelle (USMA '69; L Co Rangers 75th)
