I feel that to know who I was during our time  together, the Bandidos may appreciate background information of my  military career and how it involved the men while we were all in  Bandido Charlie. As First Sergeant of Bandido Charlie Company, and even  though we did not know each other at a personal level, I always held  the men of Charlie Company in high esteem. $12.95</p>
