SSG Shanaberger took me under his wing when I first got to Ft Polk, Even though I was in a different company. I know that the things he taught me have saved me on numerous occasions, and the whole time I was in I wanted to be like him and the other NCO's that I respected. Rest in Peace and I know you and I will meet again.
