Dear Colonel Norris,

As a former commander of the 4th Battalion (Mechanized), 23rd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division,
Viet Nam, 1968, I want to congratulate you on your selection as the commander of the soon-to-be reactivated 4/23 and wish you and the battalion all the success in the world.

My advice: Train hard.
My prayer: May you and the 4/23 never go in harm's way.
My wish: If you do, remember the brave soldiers who went before you.
