Thank you for replying to my post.
The names of the US Boys were Scott Niemeyer and Kenneth Kelly. By the way, the US wings are my favourite wings.
I also finished French, GB and Belgian jump school. 
I`ve also absolved ranger training in Ft. Bragg in 85.
Nice exercises with o lot of tough guys.

I recall the event that you describe.  Nuke'm was very mad.  We all laughed and supported you guys in CSC. :)

Kit Kittelson  CSC Company (REDEYE)  82-84 509/4-325.  I was glad you guys made it out.  That kinda crap happened a lot more than people know.   We chased down some Red Brigade guys after all the stuff that happend with Gen. Dozier.

I knew Cardona. He was with us in Norway. I have a picture of him also. I am glad you ID him, because I have that same picture of him in the water without his name on it. Now for sure I know who that is and will and his name on it. Thank you.

   Thanks for the names. I remember them better now with the names. I have CRS when it comes to putting names with some of the pics.

Did you get the pic with me carrying the P-40? I believe Cardona is standing along the side in the back ground. I also believe that he told me he was from the Bronx. I have some more pics, but have to scan them on the PC. I'll get them out asap.
