This is truly an extraordinary photo. This photo was taken at the
1999 First Annual All Tracker Reunion in St. Louis, MO. Please note that this is a
group shot of members of CTT #5, CTT #13, and the formally activated 61st IPCT all in one
place at one time! From L to R: Sal Canchola, CO 61st IPCT - 1968/69; Don Hendricks,
CO CTT #13 - 61st IPCT 1967/68; John Nagel - 78th IPCT - 1971; Ed Wheeler (Sam's
Handler) CTT #5 - 61st IPCT -1967/68; Ted Kirmse - NCOIC - CTT #13 - 61st IPCT - 1967/68;
Roy Burchfield - CTT #13 - 61st IPCT - 1967/69; and Steve Tesdall - CTT #13 - 61st IPCT -
1967/68. No one would have believed that we would all be together again like this
after 30 +/- years!!! To quote CO Don Hendricks of the affiliation with the 1st
Infantry Div., "If you are going to be one, be a BIG RED ONE!" Also, apologies
to John Nagel originally identified incorrectly. John was attached to the 10th Cav.! |

We will have more of the entire group's photos - but, this gives you all
an idea of what getting the Family together looked like in June 1999. This amazing
photo shows Trackers from every era and every Divisional affiliation. Next year, we
hope to at least double the number of attendees to the "Millenium Tracker
Reunion" here in New Orleans. A special note to ALL Trackers - you are all
extraordinary people, and it is so good to have you home! |
