My squad leader when I was a fish. KIA 50 years ago today, 4 July 1969.

For whatever it's worth, we had to memorise Noonan's name and details when I was a fish (Fall '88).
Along with Charles Jageler '65.

I wonder if the current cadets have to memorise the details about the fallen Aggies from post 9/11.

I wonder what BQ's at that time would have you memorize that information.

There's a chance that it could have just been for B-Company guidon candidacy but, I kind of feel like we all had to memorize it. It was a while ago so I might not remember it 100% correctly about why we had to memorize it.
