1SG Samuel G. Jenkins Jr (Ret) Memorial Conference Room

    1SG Jenkins was my platoon sergeant in Vietnam.  This is an honor he fully deserves.  On August 19th the current A Troop Commander, Captain Chris Morrow will dedicate the 1SG Samuel G. Jenkins Jr (Ret) Memorial Conference Room.  The conference room is Rm 2-231, Bldg 650, Schofield Barracks. Sam served in both B and A Troops on 2 different tours with the 3/4 Cav in Vietnam. Sam was the 1st Plt Sergeant of A troop in 68/69. He was awarded 2 Silver Stars (one of which was awarded for action on Aug 19, 1968), 3 Bronze Stars, & 3 Purple Hearts. He will be an excellent role model and example for the NCOs in the troop today. Thanks Chris.
