COL Vail
COL Thomas D. Vail (CO, 506th RCT) spoke to the 3,500 troops
on the Division Parade Field and hundreds of veterans/guests, telling
them that the 4th BCT would soon be deployed to Iraq, where
they will be "attached" to the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division
in the Baghdad area, and NOT with the 101st Dvision in Tikrit.
