When, recently, I e-mailed news of Bob Harris' death to a soldier who had served in combat with Major Harris, here was the response: "I was just a 19-year-old, but I never saw him not doing his duty. I never experienced him not standing up for us. I never experienced him not being willing to coach and help us. "He always worked hard, he was serious about what he did, and he pursued it diligently. His position of running the S-3 was critical to everything we did. If he didn't do his job well, the entire battalion didn't function...and it functioned pretty darn well! "Major Harris was a good soldier, a good officer and a good human being. He cared about us." --Scott Smith '56 |
