 LTC Ginger was my high school jrotc instructor, and my mentor during high school. He taught me a lot, but even though I was around him daily he spoke very little about his experiences. This is one incident he did make reference to. I am now on the backside of a 00 yr law enforcement career. It would be good to hear about LTC Ginger, but I also want to say that what little he ever said was about the valor displayed that allowed him to survive. With very few words he was able to influence many of us. He was always humble and I know now it was in a large part because he was aware of the bravery that allowed him to survive. To anyone who knew him or helped him I say Thank You. He taught many young men life lessons that are even now bearing fruit. He did his best to give back. Chris Douglas LMHS 0000 Reply
