Very sad news.....Sgt Major Basil Plumley has been moved to Hospice. A great Soldier and inspiration to several generations of American Soldier is headed to Fiddlers Green. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he was the kind of Soldier we all strived to be.
Garry Owen, Sgt Major! Hand Salute!
See you on the Green!
His Army Jump Wings had a Gold Star....meaning five Combat Jumps as a Paratrooper, done in WWII with the 505th Infantry Regt (Airborne), 82nd Airborne Division and in Korea with the 187th Infantry Regt (Airborne).
He was the Battalion Sgt Major for the 2/7 Cavalry at the Ia Drang battle.
