In Honor of all my original Army brothers.

In honor of a fellow brother

John Villanueva and all of my Wolfhound brothers

3/27 Battalion 7th inf Light, Ft. Ord, California

for finding their way back to us

 

 

 

In the days and nights we spent at the planet,

we had each other’s back.

 

But in the times after those days and nights,

we can feel so alone and kicked to the curb,

and made to survive beyond what they taught us.

 

For those who have found their way back,

and those who still need to find the path,

we have never forgotten you and what you to us.

 

Wither it was…

a cold winter night standing guard,

a hot summers day with no shade,

or just alone when the chips were down…

I always looked to my fellow Wolfhound brothers,

to help me through the beat down life gave and is still giving me.

 

For without all of you,

I would have taken my life.

 

John Villanueva,

and my fellow Wolfhound brothers,

thank you for saving my life.

A powerful poem. I served at Fort Ord from 1990-1993. I closed down the last regular units. You honored the memory of John Villanueva and my fellow Wolfhound brothers. Video wouldn't kick-in.

Thank you Coyote. It was a sad day when I heard Ft. Ord closed down. I never thought that it would close, that was the last Division in California, and in my opinion it was one of the most costly on the west coast.

Was very costly. Nothing cheap in California and you are welcome.
