This video started out to be nothing more than a past Time of mine editing video footage in order to entertain myself, since I do not subscribe to TV.
As Time went on, I began to realize a small story taking shape that involved myself and a person I once knew and served with in the U.S. Army.
Robert Solonika.
He is not pictured in this video, however he is focused on none the less and was news worthy in January 1982 unfortunately.
The Time was now, and 30 years ago. My neighbor Rick, obits.ocregist... who served in the U.S. Marines during the same time period as I in the Army, was riding shotgun with me during this re-visit of my past which I'm glad he could attend.
Ironically, the 1st Infantry Division, which I was assigned to from
1980-1982, was on base at Fort Irwin to exercise maneuvers in the following days.
The gentleman at the beginning, (standing next to Rick, at the Rock Pile), was also in the Army in the late 70's assigned to 172 Infantry Brigade Fort Wainwright Alaska, as I was, after Fort Riley.
It was a very nice day at Fort Irwin during this captured video, just like it was during these captured still photos in January1982. Driving an M113A1 APC.
And Time Moves On.....
