The Demons of Echo Three Ten

So Ends My 65 Days of Summer 1988. It wasn't 500, but what is?

My next step is to add pictures and flesh this out for an e-book. I think I'll keep this post title as the book title. Funny, I've had a working title for the book for over 20 years, now. Yet when it came time to type it in above, I wanted something else.

I think this works. We were Demon Platoon--Echo Company of the 3-10 Infantry Regiment (3rd battalion of the 10th Infantry Regiment--training, of course). What the Heck, eh?
