Hedekin commanded the Headquarters Company at Fort McPherson, Georgia, from 1936 until 1938 - when he was killed when playing in a polo tournament. The parade field at Fort McPherson now bears his name.

Good old Dooley

Hey wait a minute, that's not Dooley Wilson from Casablanca. Like the M Squad reference Dave. Takes me back to the 50's TV show of M Squad with Lee Marvin as Lt. Ballinger of the Chicago Police. Guess they were ahead of their time. Today they would be called "special units" I suppose.
