United States Army and Air Force Colonels at Dealey Plaza
Colonels
are the highest ranking officers on the battlefield – what the snipers call a
HPT – High Priority Target – guys who take their insignia off before going
out in the open. They are the - Go To guys the Generals personally give
instructions and orders to carry out.
On the chess board the Colonels are Bishops, Rooks and Knights and capable of maneuvering and striking from different directions and distances.
There
were three colonels at the Alamo – Colonel William Barrett Travis, Colonel Jim Bowie
and Colonel David Crockett.
And there were a number of Army and Air Force
Colonels directly involved in JFK Assassination – “boots on the ground – in the
field" and at the command centers. I intend to get photos and the official files and develop dossiers on each of these men and would appreciate anything you can
add to the record.

- Col. Walter Higgins – Aide to Gen. Krulak and author of the Higgins Memo, considered by

No one has done this. The CIA has been done over and over again. Isn't it intriguing that the CIA documents are far more available than those of the military? How many books on military intelligence are out there compared to the CIA?
Food for thought. Great project Bill.
Frank M. Brandstetter, not 82 Airborne, but with General Maxwell Taylor in Europe on D-Day 6/6/44. Jumped with 506 PIR 101st AB.
