    I want to give credit to John Williams’ “Hymn to the Fallen” (from “Saving Private Ryan”) for the musical score in the video.

    The video consists of pictures from my fellow Spurs and one from D Troop from 1967 thru 1971. It opens with a grainy picture of Maj. Nathan Pulliam in Vietnam, our original Spur 6.

    I attempted to capture our unit history in brief and thank all my fellow Spurs and the current 3-17th for their many contributions!
