Remembering Fort Myer/Pentagon 1968-70. I happened to google South Post Fort Myer because I wanted to see if any pictures still exist on the internet of the post. It was destroyed in the seventies and now is section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery. The men and women who are fatalaties of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan are now being interred in this section. I did find a web site which had some pictures and brought back some fond memories. I am including some photos of myself and several of the people I worked with at DCSOPS/JACO office in the Pentagon. I am going to pass on some information about the people I worked and lived with there if my 40 year memory is functioning. If you wish to contact me by email please send to jnewberry1@wi.rr.com The first photo is myself and Colonel Art Olson who was the executive officer for the Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Operations, Lieutenant General Lemley and followed by Lieutenant Generals Woodward and Stilwell. The second photo is of myself , Jerry Sheraga, and Joe Capozza. Jerry was one of the Jaco assistants and Joe was a document specialist in Joint Docs which was part of our office. Colonel Olson presided. The last is a gag christmas list for Christmas 1969 which shows the names of the people who worked in JACO and Joint Documents. If you notice they put a time stamped official JCS dispatch on this document. Big no no. At least they didn't put a security classification on it. I have a few photos of my departure but they are 40 year polaroids and are difficult to scan. A good friend of mine in the office at this time was Bill Staton. I tried to get a hold of him after the service but never could locate him. I did find out recently that he is working in California and his photo is on their website out there. So Bill's picture is up on the top left. If you know Bill or have his email etc. let me know. The web address of the site where I hooked up to the Fort Myer photos is http://www.fortmyervamemories.com/welcome.html
