Saber’s 4th Squadron Commander, LTC. Antonio A. Aguto, Jr., was replaced by LTC. Christopher Boyle.
Where did LTC. Aguto go? He was my company commander in 1997 in Bosnia. We were with the 1-77th Armor Battalion out of Schwienfurt Germany. Our First Sergeant was 1SG Roger Phipps. I haven’t thought of LTC. Aguto since I went through some old pictures. I know you may not be able to tell me his new location, but if you have a chance to get this to him I would greatly appriciate it very much. Thank you for your time, Donald W. Sahnnon
FT Irwin, CA. He is now the RCO for 11TH CAV
