Yes, 4Cie was in the Central African Republic at the time on company tournante. They flew to Rwanda when the Tutsi rebels came across from Uganda, led by present Rwandan President Paul Kagame. A few of the 4Cie boys got banged up bad. We meet up with 4Cie in Chad (November) when Gaddafi sent his army into Chad. It was a busy time for all. We, 3Cie, returned to Calvi for Christmas, then off to Djibouti for 6 months. Our turn to tour Rwanda came later that year 'November 1991-April' 92.There was a continuation of insurgency at the time. We did a lot of patrolling with the Rwandan paras 'Hutu. One thing I did notice though, how quickly it went from Francophone to Anglophone in a few short years from my time in the Legion...to my time in the country after the Legion.Did the Legion participate in fighting the Tutsi in October, 1990?
2 Rs 2 Ts no e. Dors bien mon petit. If only you knew how long I've been waiting to say the last sentence
Hi mate...Jacko says hi. He sent me this photo, the fighting 4th in Rwanda October 1990 going in to fight the Tutsis that stormed across from Uganda. Some good, tough men in this photo (plenty of link for the guns)
I knew you would appreciate it. Will definitely pass on your best to Jacko. Have a few cold ones for me with Paul C when you're back in L.A...LPN brotherThanks, brother. Please give my best to Jacko. This picture brought back a lot of memories and immortalized the men in the photo. I remembered all of the badass motherfuckers. Respect. Vive La Mort. Dominiquie Vandenberg

Yes, I will try to post some pictures in the near future. Many people asked me about my current training such as Karate and different styles of Boxing. I will post some videos on that topic. Thanks, brothers. Vive la Mort!
