- While in Korea, Regis concurrently held a mailing address at his sister Suzanne (Carr) Kier's home at 3811 Shady Valley Dr, Arlington, TX, 76013. That address also allowed him to escape income taxes previously being paid to New Jersey where the military determined his home of record to be. It was that Arlington address he used to purchased a blue, 1978 260Z Datsun. He had stopped in to visit his sister and brother-in-law while en route from his assignment in Korea to Fort Benning, GA. That was in the good-old-days of personal banking. While at a Datsun car dealership he called the Fort Rucker (Alabama) Federal Credit Union where he had been banking for two about years and requested a new car loan. After a few minutes of conversation, the car load was approved. Regis & Carlos then moved on down the road to a second dealership where a better deal was offered - and accepted. Regis then called the credit union back and asked that the load me mailed to the second dealership. The loan officer advised that they could not make the change since the loan was already in the mail! And so it was. When the check arrived and was counter-signed at the dealership, Regis proceeded on to Fort Rucker - wearing a Stetson hat he had purchased in Arlington, TX.

 | Carr, Regis John: 1952 Darmstadt, Germany
Picture was taken by the elder presumably in the Darmstadt backyard. |
 | Carr, John L: 1955 NJ Clan - Jersey City
This photo was taken at the Pierre & Veronica (Ryan) Boquel home at 255 Grant Avenue in Jersey City. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1956 at 515 Woodfin Road Warwick, VA
Regis is pictured on the porch of 515 Woodfin Road, Warwick, VA with the family dog, Boozie, which was short for Caboose suggesting that the family might remain at four children: Jeanne, Regis, Suzanne and Stephanie. Caboose "disappeared" from the household roster at about the time the family moved from Warwick. (Update September 2012: Suzanne indicates that two boys were given the dog who was then taken to live on a farm.) The family never had another real pet unless you count the meanest tomcat around, Woolly, that was allowed to take up residence in Annandale, VA. Well, meanest only after Dick Strohm's calico cat named Pansy. A pansy it certainly was not! The picture was long before the advent of auto-focus. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1974 Camp Hovey, Korea
This photo of Regis was taken and printed by PVT John H Hogan who was the orderly room clerk of A Company, 23rd Infantry. John took good advantage of the Camp Hovey dark room to facilitate his hobby. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1975 Leesville, LA
This photo was taken sometime after Regis' sister Suzanne left her 1974, TR-6 lemon with him while she headed for her first duty station as an Army nurse at the 121st Evacuation Hospital in Seoul, Korea. Within days of taking possession of the lemon the battery died, the passenger door failed to lock and the trunk lid failed to lock! And the paint in the engine compartment began to peel. Regis' own 1973 MGB was between the lemon and his trailer. Interestingly, only once did both British cars fail to function at the same time and that fortunately was for a brief period of time over one weekend. Disclaimer: When Regis arrived at Fort Polk from Korea (with an interim assignment at Fort Knox) there was no open BOQ room so he rented a 2-bedroom trailer in Watkin's Trailer Park about a 7-minute drive from his unit's orderly room - A Co, 61st Infantry. Watkin's was known as a party place for single officers and and had been that way since Vietnam days. While the park fit Regis' plans - a nurse and a doughnut dolly were both living in trailers within feet of his trailer - he made plans to move out when a roof leak during a rain storm and soaked the bottom of his pride Sansui speakers. With no better, empty trailers at Watkin's or apartments in Leesvile and still no open BOQ room, he bought his own trailer and negotiated to place it in a married-couple's park 1/2 mile to the west of Watkin's. He remained welcome in the new location, next door to a divorcee (no involvement except that he gave her his lawn mower when he moved), for another 12 months before going to flight school at Fort Rucker, AL. The trailer drew occasional visits by the Watkin's females, even if some came just to do their laundry in the only trailer with a washer/dryer or dine on his basic meat & potato fare. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1976 Fort Rucker Party
Regis is captured at a Christmas party during flight training at Fort Rucker. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1976 Hanchey Field
The TH-55 helicopter, in the process of preflight, is one that Regis flew during primary flight training. It had a gas engine, transmission belts, a magnetic compass and a radio. OK, it had few more instruments than the compass, but not many: temp, fuel & tachometer.
WIKI: While the Army hadn't found the Model 269 adequate for combat missions, in 1964 it adopted the Model 269A as its training helicopter to replace the TH-23 and designated it the TH-55A Osage. 792 TH-55 helicopters would be delivered by 1969 and it would remain in service as the Army's primary helicopter trainer until it was replaced in 1988 by the UH-1 Huey. In 1964, Hughes introduced the slightly-larger three-seat Model 269B which it marketed as the Hughes 300. The Hughes 300 was followed in 1969 by the improved Hughes 300C (sometimes 269C). This 300C introduced a more powerful 190hp (140kW) Lycoming HIO-360-D1A engine and increased diameter rotor, giving a payload increase of 45%, plus overall performance improvements. At the time of its replacement in 1988, over 60,000 Army pilots had trained on TH-55 making it the Army's longest serving training helicopter. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1985 Fliegerhorst Kaserne, FRG
This was a command photo taken at the Fliegerhorst Airfield. In 1937 the Luftwaffe built Langendiebach Fliegerhorst. Glider and nightfighter units of the German Air Force stationed there participated in the 1939 invasion of Poland and the 1944-45 defense of Germany against allied invasion. Multiple bombings by allied forces rendered the airfield unserviceable by the war's end. Under the name Fliegerhorst Kaserne, American forces occupied the facilities from 1945 until 2007 with artillery, aviation, ordnance, quartermaster, transportation, meteorological, and military police units. Online rumor: " I have been looking for info on Fliegerhorst Kaserne (Fliegerhorst Langendiebach - an old Luftwaffe airfield near Hanau, Germany now used by the US Army). There are apparently some underground bunkers there under the airfield which, now filled with water, at one time housed aircraft I spoke with a gentleman who had actually been in a sealed room near the old steam plant (accessed from there) & said there were rusty helmets, etc. in there & that CMD threatened them with UCMJ for trespassers. Tunnel entrances in wall of steam plant basement were later bricked over. My BN CDR also said there was a bricked-over entrance to a tunnel in the basement of his quarters on Fliegerhorst. There is a printed local history in the U.S. forces library in Hanau, which states that in 1979, a 2-1/2 ton truck fell through the street and uncovered a network of tunnels, equipment for pumping water on and off the airfield for concealment, and 3 underground bunkers on the airfield which contained aircraft parts and a lot of water. I used to be stationed there in the late 90s & found some "Suspicious areas", but nothing definitive." (http://www.lwag.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3354)
My own remarks about Flierhorst incuded this: " The fascinating aspect of the barrack was that it was constructed in the late 1930s to billet a German Luftwaffe unit. The basement we learned had an entrance to a web of tunnels rumored to extend to the other barracks and to the aircraft hangars almost a half-mile distant. Allegedly the tunnels enabled the German bomber crews to make their way back-and-forth to the airfield under protective cover. In the time since WWII, the space in the tunnels had been occupied with utility pipe and conduit making travel beyond a few feet impossible, not that some did not try!" |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1990 434 Victory Rd
The home was the first for Regis & Lana. During his first night there (before he married Lana) he learned of the railroad tracks that bordered the backyard when a locomotive idled there all night. Eventually the tracks were abandoned. This photo was taken in July 1990 after Regis contracted to have the driveway paved - finally. He and Lana sold it within weeks of the paving. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 2009
This photo of Regis was taken at his brother Chris' house in Warrenton on the weekend that USN CAPT (Ret) Jack & Bev Slaughter celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at Fort Meyers Officer's Club. They were the parents of Regis' high school girlfriend, Mary Frank. She failed to wait for him to graduate from USMA, opting instead to marry a USNA '72 grad that they both met when hiking in Golden, CO in the summer of 1970. |

 | Israel- Golan Heights 2015
This generally northeast view from the site of an Israeli observation bunker, which might have shown Damascus in the distance, was limited to a few hundred meters. Off to the right in the valley below is the town of Quneitra. At the request of the Syrians it was purposely added to the Syrian side of the ceasefire line. Oddly, it remains virtually uninhabited. (See the related Golan Heights map on this website.) |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1972 Jump School
The photo was a standard offering by an on-post vendor. Regis participated in jump school during a period of summer training while attending West Point. The entire jump class consisted of USMA cadets - such segregation would occur again during the Infantry Officer Basic Course(IOBC) and during Ranger School. While we benefited from the comradeship established on the Hudson, we did not benefit from association with graduates of other commissioning sources nor engaging with soldiers and NCOs of the regular Army - notwithstanding those serving on the cadres.
This particular photo was given to Aunt Ruth (Gawronski) Boquel - she returned it shortly after her husband, Robert, died in 2015. She sent it along with a note indicating that she had sent other family photos to sister Suzanne. The photo sure does ring true with the phrase, We Were Soldiers Once...And Young. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1951 US Savings Bond
Louis D Carr, while he was still living at 173 Harrison Avenue in Jersey City, NJ, purchased a $100 US Savings Bond for Regis's first Christmas. Regis cashed the bond in about 2000, long after the bond stopped accruing interest. The scanned copy was taken of an old Xerox copy which continued to deteriorate even while stored in a file drawer. |

Regis' birth abroad was reported to the American Consulate in Frankfort (sic) on the Main (River), Germany on July 23, 1951. A report of his birth to American parents was required to be made by parents at the nearest Consulate. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1951 Report of birth abroad page 2
A note on the back of the report, preumably added to the document several months following the inital report of bith, indicates that Regis was "Included in mother's passport No.37215, at American Consulate General, Frankfort (sic) on Main, Germany, October 5, 1951." |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1951 Report of birth abroad V2
In July 1989 Regis obtained a certified statement of his birth abroad in order to receive an Offical US passport in anticipation of traveling on US Government business to Peru. This report of birth was an embossed version of the cetificate issued in 1951. Frankfort (sic) was once again mispelled. While it was not receive in time for his travel on 25 March, 1989, a 1980 Department of State certified copy of his report of birth abroad served the purpose. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1953 Tiger Airlines Manifest from Frankfurt to USA
The Tiger Airlines manifest shows 1LT John (125 lbs), Jeanne (125 lbs), Jeanne Marie (31 lbs), Regis (25 lbs), and Suzanne (30 lbs) Carr departing Frankfurt am Main, Germany on 6 August 1953 en route Idelwild Airport, NYC (now JFK). It would be the immigration date for Regis & Suzanne both of whom were born in Germany. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1951 The Chronicle
Regis' birth was announced in the monthly edition of The Chronicle; unsure if the Chronicle was a section of the Stars & Stripes newspaper or a unit publication. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1962 NRA
In 1962 Regis and his sister Suzanne were enrolled in the Junior NRA and on a monthly basis rode to the local indoor range on Fort Eustis, VA to compete. They continued to participate in the NRA after moving to Heidelberg, Germany but ceased when Regis' 2-hour, wrestling practices impeded steady rifle shots. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1966 Heidelberg, Germany Wrestling
The article reports the results of the Heidelberg High School varsity wrestling matches against Mannheim High School. As it turned out, one of Mannheim's wrestlers, Stan Polonski, who was Regis' neighbor during his two years living in Mannheim, would become a '72 Citadel classmate of one of Regis's Army buddies, Charlie Zoubec of New York. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1970 Draft Number One
While on summer leave from USMA in July 1970, Regis was evaluating his future. Although he had wrung a passing grade in all his classes and would soon be going back for summer training at Camp Buckner, he took the opportunity to evaluate his options which included staying for the pending training and more mathematics in the fall, or start anew in a different school. The attached Washington Post's article firmed up his decision in a nano-second. Had he opted to begin anew in another college, the Draft Board would have found him the moment he left the gate at USMA and that would ensure a swift posting to South Vietnam. He figured he has two basic options: 1) serve in Vietnam as a private-first-class making a hundred bucks a month, or 2) earn his commission from USMA and go as a lieutenant in 1973 and make a few more bucks a month. He made the right decision even though Vietnam would no longer be an option for lieutenants in '73. |

This is the Korean translation of the SOFA card. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1974 Geneva Convention Card
Military personnel in Korea were required to carry a Geneva Convention Card in addition to the SOFA card. For anyone who knew anything about the conduct of North Korean and Chinese soldiers during the Korean War, there was rationale cor carring the card. We'd have been just as well served carrying an officer's club membership card from Fort Benning, GA. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1974 SOFA
All military personnel were required to carry a Status of Forces Agreement card whenever they went off post in Korea. The flip side of the card was written in Korean. |
 | Carr, Regis John: 1977 A-220 Airfield Pass
This pass was issued to the 2nd Aviation crews so that they could enter Airfield-220 that was across the street from the main gate of Camp Casey, Korea. The designation, 220 was often refered to as Second-To-None which was also the 2nd Infantry Division motto. All airfields and helipads in South Korea were numbered A-### or H-###. Outside the gate at the south end of the airfield was the Grand Old Flag Shop at which pilots would purchase mugs, Cokes and their drinking suits - a blue one-piece, zip-up item worn during special parties at the O-Club. There was one exception; one pilot (an odd duck) with an obsession with the red because his mother never let him wear that color...he was the only pilot of the roughly 70 pilots not in blue. |

 | Carr, Regis John: 1986 Ration Card
The USAREUR ration card allowed Regis and Lana to purchase liquor at Class VI stores and tea, coffee and tobacco at a commissary or PX while stationed in West German. An additional card was used to purchase gasoline at military Class III yards (OK, if you prefer, call then gas stations.) |

| Carr, Regis: 1995 OKC Recruiting Battalion Change-of-Command
Remarks made by the battalion commander when he relinquished command of the Oklahoma City Recruiting Battalion. The battalion was known as the Six-Shooters - based on a combination of its mid-west location and its six recruiting companies. When a plan developed to have unit coins produced, the commander requested design submissions from members of the unit. The wining design was prepared by the commander of Tulsa Company. The coin's face resembled the cylinder head of a six-shooter pistol with each of the six cylinders labeled for a company. The coins supported recruiter performance recognition. |

| 1995 - Oklahoma City Recruiting Battalion Memorial Service
Remarks by the battalion commander:
"...On 19 April 1995 two soldiers, five civilians, and one child of the battalion family were killed. They were typical members of the battalion and they were typically American. Typical in the sense that they were dedicated to the task at hand; typical in that they worked hard as a team for the common good; typical in that they were of good moral character; typical in that they had loving families and close friends. No matter how brief their lives or how great their contributions to God, Country and family, I choose today to remember a lasting characteristic; I choose to remember their typical smiles and how they shared those smiles with those of us with whom they spent their working days...." |

 | Carr, Regis J: 2015 Israel Entry & Exit Permits
The two attached stamps were issued upon entry and exit from Israel during a September 2015 visit by Regis and Lana. As of January 2013 US Passports are not stamped upon entry into Israel. Instead, visitors are given an entry card upon arrival that is kept with the passport until leaving Israel. The card is evidence of legal entry into Israel and may be required when crossing points into the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Why no stamps like most other countries? Because many Arab and Muslim countries refuse entry to people who show evidence of a visit to Israel. “Evidence” generally means Israeli passport stamps, but it can also mean Egyptian or Jordanian stamps from the crossing-points into/out of Israel. |
 | Carr, Regis J: 2015 Golan Heights
The trip to Golan Heights - anticipated to be of staff ride quality - proved less enlightening than anticipated. The long range views into Syria - that would have validated tank warfare of the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War - did not materialize due to an historic sand storm that reduced visibility to mere hundreds of meters. Nevertheless, the ride up to the hilltop near Meron Golan provided evidence of the difficult terrain that the armored forces faced in both wars. (On the map there are three dots with handwritten '7' in each indicating the 7th day of the tour of Israel. The other two '7' mark, 1) Katzrin where we were introduced to kibbutznik lifestyle, and 2) Safed with its artistic bent. Katzrin was intriguing in that it was a target of Syrian artillery prior to the Six Day War that required installation of bomb shelters. While in Katzrin, Lana and Regis enjoyed a tour of the winery. It was a relatively recent feature of the kibbutz to offset sings in farm income. (See Golan Heights photo to see the effects of the sand storm.) |

| Carr, Regis J: 2014-08 Clauss Reunion Letter
"I appreciate that you only signed up to get a copy of the book and had not signed up for a lengthy missive. OK. Skip to the book and come back to this when you have time.
In March 2013 I contacted Paula Clauss Isaacs via an Ancestry.com message board asking for suggestions for travel into Lake Ariel in April. She eventually read the email - in October - long after the trip to West Point to visit Alice’s grave with Lana, Uncle Bill and my Stockdale cousins in another snow storm! Paula advised in her reply message that she was preparing “a Fadden, Kelly, O'Malley, Cahagan family history book” and would appreciate any information I might have. In addition to referring her to CarrFamilyTree, I sent her some data via a few, sporadic messages/emails over the course of the next 10 months. In early July she invited me to “a family reunion” in August. I declined the invitation because Lana and I anticipated going to Jack’s assumption of command ceremony at Fort Lewis, WA; the same event that Bill & Barbara planned to attend. That event was subsequently moved to early August which left the reunion weekend open. The morning after I determined to attend the reunion, Uncle Bill called to ask if I was interested in attending a reunion that he was considering. It soon was resolved that he had received an invitation from Jean Clauss to the same reunion Paula invited me to attend. Uncle Bill and I later agreed to link up on Saturday morning in Lake Ariel to see its sights since neither of us had ever been there - we had only heard stories." (Full letter at the link.) |
