2005 Reunion of  the 62nd Armored Field Artillery Battalion

Lubbock,TX

Back Row: Jim Swires, Paul Harrington, Edward Garlowitch, John Lewis

Front Row: Bob Adams, Lester Wagner, John Shores

These men served in the 62nd Armored Field Artillery Battalion. This army unit fought Rommel in North Africa, participated in the invasion of Sicily, landed at Normandy, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and crossed the Rhine into Germany to help defeat the Nazi Regime, the greatest threat to freedom of the 20th Century.

I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to spend a weekend with them at the 58th reunion.
