At 2:07pm on March 20, 2009, Bill Claus said…: Hi Bob, Thanks for the friend invite. Sorry for the delay, but I just got the chance to check out your page. I'm still making formations, Army Reserves, 21 years now and still going. I just found out I made the promotion list, so I'll be staying for at least another 2-3 years. Currently overseas, and looking forward to getting home in a couple months.
Thanks for your service in both, the military and fire service. What branch were you in? Stay safe and enjoy your retirement. Bill
