Forgive me if Ive asked this here before- I know I have somewhere. I am re-starting my quest to find a photo taken of me & an Israeli Colonel taken at Camp Lejuene NC at LZ Bluebird sometime between MAY86 to AUG87. For the life of me I cannot pin it down any closer than that.
During a training exercise, we flew in on CH 46's, rappelled down out of the helo.. and I made my way to a point and engaged an old tank with a Dragon missile. Was a long shot & a damn good shot. After the exercise...my Capt. summoned for me and I ran over to him. He was standing with this Israeli Col. and Ill never forget how this guy looked. Dark skinned...lean, square jawed, about 5'8" or so, black Beret, squared away AF.
To my utter amazement- he requested a photo of me & him together, and of course the Dragon too.
So, some magazine at the time...like a Stars & Stripes or a Marine Corps Gazette type deal..took the pic. I remember asking how to get a copy..but cannot remember what was said. Before I die Id love to get a copy of this pic, Ive thought about it often over the years.
My question: What were the magazines around at that time I can try to research? Im 90% sure it was a military style magazine..not like a TIME or anything, but Im not 100% even on that.
Where & how to start advice appreciated & needed, man I have NO idea. Ive spent a good deal of time looking since the interwebs were invented, but no luck.
Is this even possible?
