Lieutenant Dan Hill, 4/12 Inf (M), Baumholder FRG 1989
Folks,
A month or so ago I posted a request for a memory-jogger to help me recall some gentlemen whose names had temporarily slipped away from me, including fellows who served both with 4/12 Inf (M) and 1/39 Inf (M) in Baumholder.
SFC Richard Ito very graciously sent me some thoughts on that, and we concluded that the fellow who was injured by the broken track hatch was LT Dan Hill.
I would certainly appreciate it if anyone with more info (including contact details) would get in touch with me at matthewginn-at-gmail.com -- I owe LT Hill a big thank-you for some advice he and his wife gave me back in 1989.
Warriors!
p.s. add your name to the roster now!

According to Bruce Van Hoozen (see separate blog post from 5 March 2007), LT Hill's first name was John.
That was our track....LT Dan Hill...I was the track Commander, both the PLT SGT and Hill were hurt when we went over a ridge line. I and my driver were left out till the Mechanics came. If you would like to talk my email is Joejentc@gmail.com SPC Joe Johnson
LT Hills name was Dan, not John...at least he never told me...we were best friends. He and his wife ( a SOS teacher) were from California. joejentc@gmail.com I was with them when they got hurt that was my Track. It was cold out there so we drained fuel to start a fire...was rather nice in the winter. Joe Johnson---( Higgins)
Thanks, Joe -- I've sent you an email.
Cheers
Matt
