**********************

Thanks to Bill Hodder for the pictures and items above, of his service with 1/22 Infantry.

Bill actually pulled these things right out of his scrapbook, put them all in a padded envelope and mailed them to me, saying "...these pictures were in an album for over 30 years and it's time to let all the 1/22nd view them."

That's the spirit of a true REGULAR, by GOD !

Thank you Bill, you are truly what is meant by:

DEEDS NOT WORDS
