...When I arrived back from Vietnam, I got Stationed at Fort Mac, when it was The Headquarters of Third Army. I have many memories of this fort.
...Everywhere that I went in The Army, I learned a lot. Being Stationed at The Headquarters of Third Army,for close to 2 years, was a once in lifetime experience for me. I had many tales to tell the grunts, when I returned to Fort Benning ( The Home of Army Infantry School ).

...This coin was a gift :

...Some Field Grade Officers would recruit enlisted men, as ringers, on the golf course at Ft. Mac. I worked with some of these Golf hustlers. Most of them would be drivers for these Officers.
...The Federal Civil Service Employees, Military Personnel, and Our Tax Dollars provided for the up keep & improvements to this golf course. Don't forget; Fort Mac had always been a Headquarters....During my lifetime.
....One morning, in 1972, I seen the legendary WSB news anchor Hal Suit teeing off on this Golf Course.....I would make an assumption that he was a guest.
