SFC Rodney Yano Dedication

The Armor Center at Fort Benning, Georgia, has announced the dedication of a new facility in honor of SFC Rodney J. T. Yano. SFC Yano was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for actions on January 1, 1969 while serving with Air Cavalry Troop, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.

The dedication is schedule for 10:00 am, Friday, March 23, 2012. Guest speaker will be BG John C. "Doc" Bahnsen (USA Ret), Air Cavalry Troop commander and pilot of the aircraft involved in the incident. All Blackhorse troopers, family and friends are invited to attend. No invitation is necessary. Dress is casual. Show your colors - wear something Blackhorse!

The Armor School completed the move from Fort Knox to Fort Benning in September 2011 and combined with the Infantry School to become the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCOE). The Armor School is an all new, state-of-the-art facility located in the Harmony Church area of Fort Benning.

To mark the completion of the move, in September 2011 the MCOE Headquarters building at Fort Benning was officially dedicated as McGinnis-Wickam Hall. Specialist Ross A. McGinnis was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for actions on December 4, 2006 while serving with the 1st Infantry Division in Iraq. Corporal Jerry Wayne Wickam was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for actions on January 6, 1968 while serving with F Troop, 2nd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam.

Directions to The Armor School and Harmony Church: Traveling south from Columbus, Georgia on I-185. Exit onto GA-1 S/GA-520 E/US-27 S/US-280 E/Martha Berry Hwy/Victory Dr. Continue to follow GA-1 S/GA-520 E/US-27 S/US-280 E/Martha Berry Hwy 4.3 miles then take the exit toward Access Point/8th Division Road. Directional signs from the Access Point will be posted to guide you into the Ceremony Site.

Melinda,

I left out the meaning of "SF" in the APOSF96257 line of MIke's return address. The letters stand for "San Francisco".

Take care,

Melinda,

Here is the info I have found.

Michael J. Barber
71 Pearl Street North
Frewsburg, NY 14738-9563
(716) 569-5865

Here are the meanings of the return address:

SP/4 - Specialist 4th Class (MIke's rank)

The numbers in the second line are his Army service number.

K-3/11ACR - K Troop, 3rd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (MIke's unit)

APOSF96257 - Army Post Office 96257 (the numbers are a military equivalent to a civilian ZIP code)

I tried to send this info to your email address but I do not have access to it. I think only the web site administrator has access to your email address.

Anyway, I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions please feel free to email me at formercav@netzero.com

Take care,

John T. Tillman
