NOTES Hi visitors! My summer project is a
general clean-up of this website. This website been up for many, many years
-- since 1995 -- and
I'm revisiting all the pages, cleaning up any broken links and updating
information. If you see something that needs fixing, please let me know!
The forum, alas, is broken - you can view older comments but can't add
any new comments. Even so, I hope you enjoy the website and will come
visit us again.
Saunders in Bronze
Artist (and Combat! fan) Michael
Keropian has designed and created a truly superb work of art honoring
Sergeant Saunders. Please visit his website at
keropiansculpture.com/sgt_saunders.html for more photos and further
information.
He has also designed a stunning bust of our hero.
SITE UPDATES:
NOTE: I'm testing out a "rate the episode"
feature that lets you not only give your own 0 to 4-bayonet rating, but
also lets you leave comments. Please check out this feature by visiting
any of the episode reviews on the site. If you catch any errors, please
let me know!
