The 6th Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Headquarters area
The tradition that was proposed, was for a departing comrade to be given his transfer orders (papers) by the Sergeant Major at the
entrance to the memorial. Thence he would proceed to the Marker, salute, "Those Who Laid the Ultimate Sacrifice on the Altar of
Freedom", cross the bridge (simulating the flight home) and pass through the Torii (putting the Orient in the past). Those attending
his farewell could then shake his hand and a vehicle would take him to the air strip.
Unfortunately I was one of the first to rotate back to the states, (to attend General Staff College). The memorial wasn't complete and
I have no idea how things were handled after I left. But I did initiate the tradition upon departure from Camp Enari. - "CAN DO" - Bill
