Always Ready,sir.

This is late, but, Iwanted to share with you that your husband and Father was a great leader. I served under him from 1981 to 1983 and would have followed him into battle with out a second thought.

I remember him as Stone 6. Bindlach 1981 - 83. I am much too late but just saw it. Always Ready Sir.

Dear Mrs Brinkley,

I was honored to serve with your husband at my first duty station, almost 30 years ago when he was my squadron commander. He was hard, fair, and consistent-----values that I hope all military leaders strive to live up to. He certainly did and made a great impression on me as a young Soldier.

All best to you and yours---with greatest respect.

To the Brinkley Family,
I was sorry to hear of LTC Brinkley's passing. I have fond memories of "the Rock" when he was Squadron and Post commander. He was a hard charging commander. RIP Stone 6. We will meet again at Fiddlers Green.
