Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3739541, member: 656"] I was on a 3-day pass from the West Point Band, sitting in the Surrey Deli on Union Tpke. Queens (long gone); eating a Pastrami Sandwich; when the news came over the radio. I immediately went home to watch Walter Cronkite deliver the tragic report and pass or not, I drove back to West Point and reported. The next day in a miserable downpour, we had a funereal service on the parade field. I'll never forget We were not included in the Washington services (much to my disappointment); the equally wonderful Marine and Army Field Bands handled the responsibilities. [/QUOTE]
