when sandy turned 18 in 1965 he joined the army he'd always loved uniforms and the military and more than anything he wanted to do drive a tank. at first they told him he was too small but in 1965 he was allowed into tank school and he graduated. that night all the boys celebrated and got drunk. sandy had way too much to drink and he died in the middle of the night of alcohol poisoning. dale wrote "a salute to sandy" after sandy's death in his honor.
