[Vision2020] Shame on you Crabtree

[Phil Nisbet]

For the list

The late posting of a comment I made prior to my appology to Tom Hanson 
seems to be keeping this thread alive.  That is unfortunate.

As I have noted to SFC Hanson, his service even had it been solely as a 
clerk typist would have been noble.  The fact that he pulled 10 years as an 
NCO at squad and platoon level in the infantry says much for his spirit of 
service.  There is no less thanked and more deserving of praise occupation 
than small unit infantry leader.  Its a tough job to do when you are young 
and spry and take exceptional intestinal fortitude to do when you are middle 
aged.
