Local soldier recalls fighting during invasion of Panama
Local soldier describes his unit’s role at a Panama City area barracks during the invasion. He recalls initial stress and fear of Noriega's forces, the Christmas Eve security alarms, and patrolling from the international airport base. Civilians treated the soldiers with gratitude, cooking for them, and medics aided sick civilians and babies. He regards the operation as necessary and well planned and says it felt unreal to return home.
