Welcome to Memories from A Co. 143rd Signal Battalion 1970-1971.

SSG Walter Wilfong has put together a presentation from his personal collection. The photos cover people and places related to A Co 143rd Signal Battalion, 3rd Armor Division and the areas frequented by the battalion's soldiers. I have converted the original PowerPoint presentation to an HTML/web format. If you are interested in the original file let him know. It is, however a 10MB download.

SSG Wilfong has brought a piece of history to our site, showing an era, which so far, no one has been able to document. Notice the length of the soldiers hair and the lack of female soldiers.

Thought I'd start with an intro via picture to let you old farts like me know who sent these to the site.	KaiserSträße viewed from the Frankfurt Bahnhof. Anyone remember two streets to the right and down one block to the left??	Remember Alerts?
(May 1970)	Yeah.. Good old Merry Gustels Trinkhalle	Driving my AN/GRC 26-D RATT rig at Friedberg alert site. Many a flippy were popped on top of that hill!
"A" Company hallway 1970	Our barracks when it stood.	Look Familiar?
How many times did we stand and stare out these window counting down our days mentally thinking of “The World”	Wayne Palmer. (Leder Hosen, Wooden Shoes, Pink Shirt, Alpine Hat, and Maxi-Coat all worn at once to Crazy Sexy… Wacky Wayne was a blast!)	I know none of us ever visited this area of town, right????
