Aller Heillige

Stras · 09-19-2010, 14:56

Once again it is the time of year when we gather in the Bad Toelz area and pay tribute to our fallen SF Brethren for Allerheiligen (01 Nov 10).

SFA LXV and V will lay wreaths on the graves of our fallen brothers on the 29th of Oct 10.

Meeting times and other details are currently being coordinated.

Weather permitting, we will place a wreath on Tony's cross on the Brauneck.

I believe that we will meet at the Jägerwirt in Gaissach.

Tony was the Sr. Medic on my team. I had my ski group eating lunch at the hutte all the way back on the Brauneck when Tony passed by with his instructor and other students just before the accident. Many of the other ski groups were also eating lunch at the time and because all of the transmissions were in the clear and most instructors had their radios sitting on tables, it seemed like everyone on the mountain to include the Germans knew there had been a fatality. It was a strange atmosphere on the Mountain as we began pulling everyone off. We had a Bn meeting that evening at Prinz Heinrich to discuss what happened. Next morning we went back out and continued training.

We would stop by share a beer and pay our respects when we were down there training.

Thanks for keeping the tradition Stras...
