Please visit a tribute to the memory of Galen's high school friend Danny Dean McGee. Danny was also a Rockdale County native and was killed in Vietnam. This memorial is the result of Galen contacting another Rockdale County native and friend, Aurence (Vietnam Veteran and Folk Artist). Read about it at:

Memorial to Danny Dean McGee

This picture was taken at Cocoa Beach Florida right after a parade when I was in the 197th Infantry Brigade Honor Guard Unit at Fort Benning after Vietnam. I was assigned to the 197th after Nam. We performed in parades funerals and all types of special military events. There was a lot of spit and polish required and lot of practice and rehearsal but I liked it.
