I dont know If General McNeil will ever read this

But I was at Bragg 95 to 99 in 82nd DIV HQ Mess My last CG Was General McNeil

I was the Night barker and Line man in the morning (plus a lot of other jobs)

I remember the NCO staff was starting to get large due to promotions so a power struggle was going on in the mess. I was told not to let any one in before chow for any reason and I was told not to have any one in the mess for any reason at night

I would set up the line and a gray haired man I was not familar with came in PTs and asked for coffee and a pastry

I did not care about the NCO power trip We were there to take care of the soldiers Of the 82nd and the Hill was Group so this man that could have been a returning Private for all I cared was welcome to fill his cup and grab a quick bite and BS with me for a bit

I was serving Omelets on the grill looking at my work and asking for the next order I heard the man that I was speaking with a few times before chow and look up to find tha he was My CG

A bit surprised but very happy I was the kind caring person I was and not a man caught up in the IC power stuggle And ask my CG to leave the mess until Chow

General McNeil may have not cared if I did though He was a Awesome General That I saw more than any other before him. Much respect goes out to him I was a SPC under his command cooking pastries and he talked to me like a friend I will rember that story till I die and I am glad I now know the Name Of my CG I had forgotten it untill I saw a pic shared in 82nd room AATW Sir

Thank You General McNeil for caring about those in your command

SPC Vincent Lee 95 to 99
