What I find more relevent

Now that I have seen some resentations in class I now really would to go hunting with rogers I have seen all the gear and the many decoys he has and would like to see what it is like to fool the ducks or geese into falling into a trap. the best part I liked was the little camo like sleeping back that you hide in and when the geese come up on the layout of decoys. you pop out and shoot them all its very clever and interesting the thrill of the hunt maybe for a lack of a better term

The 34th Infantry Regiment was constituted July 1, 1916 in the Regular Army. It was organized in El Paso, Texas on July 15, 1916 by transfer of personnel from the 7th, 20th and 23rd Infantry Regiments. Its initial mission included guard duty on the Mexican border and the training of National Guard units.
World War I: The 34th was shipped to France, arriving on August 27, 1918. On October 9, 1918, the regiment held the extreme left of the 7th Infantry Division's flank. The regiment received battle honors "Lorraine" for actions during this period.

The battalion's nickname, "Leyte Dragons," derives its recognition during the Leyte assault.

On June 30, 1950, in the Republic of Korea, the 34th Infantry Regiment, with the 24th Infantry Division began to successfully delay the North Korean People's Army until the United Nations Forces could arrive to hold the Pusan Perimeter.
