Please convey my warm regards and best wishes
to the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Armored
Divisions on the occasion of their Joint Organiza

As a wartime member of the 10th Armored
I am particularly pleased to pay tribute to these
units on this the 30th anniversary of the Armored
Force.
Williams called the St. Lo

"What we at the hospital are

person but rather the health
of the person bitten" he con

Scott explained "It is up to
the owner of the pet whether

1ST ARMORED DIVISION
On behalf of all members of Fourth United
States Army I extend congratulations and best
wishes to you the officers and men of the
1st Armored Division on this splendid organiza
tion's 30th anniversary 15 July.
Thirty years ago on 15 July 1940 the
1st Armored Division "Old Ironsides" came
into being. The division distinguished itself
valiantly during World War II with campaigns
in Africa and Italy and presently maintains
a high level of readiness serving as a powerful
deterrent to aggression. I am confident that
"Old Ironsides" will continue this standard of
performance in the future.

He added "On post the

and an off post pet owner can
take his pet to the Humane

There are also private
veterinarians in the area but
whichever you go to post
regulations and state law re
quire a statement. "It makes
no difference if the pet had
his shots the day before the

a vet is still required" warned
Scott.
So to protect yourself as a

the health of an individual
should he be bitten by your
pet take your pet to a vet
and get the needed statement
Otherwise officials will have to
ask the MPs or the police to

was staged by the support

The reason for the support
trooos enthusiasm in their
roles aiding MASSTER is
simple. Many of the men
have served in Vietnam and
feel tat if they can bring about
a reduction in U.S. combat
casulties by helping to develop
MASSTER's equipment it will
be worth it. As for the troops
who haven't been to Viet
