Sean Carpenter, Alpha Company 1/39 Inf (M), Baumholder FRG

In late July I got a number of great emails from Sean Carpenter, who served with Paddy's Gang in Baumholder during the late 1980s. Carpenter's got a memory like a rat trap and he's remembered a huge number of guys from those days, so here's a rough list that I've thrown together from his emails. (I've promised a few people that I'll get a user-friendly roster together, too, but for the moment I'll have to just keep posting them as I find them.)

Thanks, Sean!

AAAO!

SP/4 Dave DeLuca, A-1/39 Inf (M), Baumholder FRG 1987-1989

I recently heard from Specialist Dave DeLuca, who was with Paddy's Gang from October 1987 and then with 4/12 Inf (M) through October 1990:
