Command Sergeant Major Hank Merrill

I´m so very sorry to hear of Hank´s passing. Hank was my Drill Sergeant when I entered One Station Unit Training at Fort McClellan in 1977. Years later, I would return to the Training Brigade as its Operations Officer, and Hank was its Command Sergeant Major. He was a great Soldier, but more importantly, he was a good man whose love for people, especially his family, served as a role model to me for the rest of my military and civilian career. I can truly say that he made a positive difference in my life. My sincere condolences to Debbi and his family.

I'm so sad to hear about Hank. I have great memories of 5ks and that dang old car! I know he is resting, a well deserved rest. My thoughts and prayers are will you all.
