,pus S! if Us SS W 1955-Class History-195k As we, Regiment 59, are moving toward the end of our hitch with The Alamo base of opera- tions, there is a feeling of excitement and an- ticipation in the air, but also an undeniable sadness. For while we are looking forward to beginning our civilian life, we have many fond memories of the twelve years we have shared together.

IF. li, A. 5. Charlotte Edwards, one of our platoon won the honor of being alternate to the queen of our base. In 19-56-57 our rank was finally changed to Second Lieutenant.
