I have had the honor to have served in the 1st, 2d, and 4th of the 23d Infantry as part of the 2d Infantry Division, USARAL (US Army Alaska), and the 172d Brigade (SEP). I have seen all and parts of the published histories and noticed that none of the "cold war" service has been written. There is virtually nothing between the Korean War and Vietnam. The 23d is now serving valiently in the Mid-East. I think these soldiers need to know the history of those dark days between the wars.
If Infantry soldiers are transported by vehicle, it will take them farther from home than if they had walked. This means that the sole purpose of the transportation was to cause them to walk farther to get home!

I'm just a country boy from Illinois, but I've seen some weird things... I've been to three county fairs, two Indian rodeos, a goat roping, and came in first and third in a watermelon eating contest! But, the strangest thing I ever saw or did was my two and a half years in the Army in Alaska!
