| 1st. Lt. David J. Gaines MOS: 1331 Served: 29 May 1971 DEROS date in mid September. E-Mail: djgrrg@charter.net Address: 8771 Pine Mountain Rd. Pinson, Al, 35126-4028 Phone: (205) 680-8959 Comments: Look out when you Google your own name. There is no telling what you might find. I was indeed the commanding officer of the 104th for a short time. There was a shortage of captains and I was the senior Lt so I got the job. It was only a few weeks, not the July 71 to Oct 71 as listed. I was home before Oct 71. I will look through my photos and see if I have anything of the 104th. I am pretty sure I have the unofficial patch from that time. Will scan and email what I find. Thanks for the website. We were attached to the 69th Eng Bn. I have searched for it but come up empty. David J Gaines 1Lt CE Assumed command 25 July 1971 and was relieved by Cpt David F Stevens 21 Aug 1971. |
