October 2011 Red Devils gathered at the new US Army Infantry Museum, Ft. Benning, GA to dedicate a memorial to our two paratroopers lost in combat operations during Operation "Just Cause". SGT Michael DeBlois and SPC Vance Coats are forever remembered on this piece of work.
The Memorial project was undertaken by SFC (R) Alan Bowser, who was the HHC Mortar Platoon Sergeant, at Ft. Kobbe. Many thanks to Alan for all he did to make this extremely important event happen, the Red Devils of Ft. Kobbe are forever grateful to him.
Red Devils near and far, active duty and retired, came to be a part of this dedication. The following series of photos represent activities that day.
