Your bio here |
Please submit your trooper's story!
We are starting a new section of the website here, where we will present biographies of the troopers, as submitted by themselves or their family members.
Troopers and their families are asked to submit their stories, sending material to webmaster@517prct.org
Material submitted is completely up to the soldier, or to their family and relatives. Take a look at the biographies already submitted -- Jesse Darden's bio is a great example -- but feel free to be as creative as you like. It's your story. This information can be as long or as short as you like. We would like to see any or all of the following items:
