"L.B. Breland, formerly private First Class Breland, recently returned to Fort Clark Springs, the place where his military service begin.

"Breland, part of the 122nd Cavalry Regiment in 1940, toured the Fort with his wife Connie and two daughters.

"He pointed to places where buildings, now long gone, stood full of calvarymen.

"Just a teenager when he enlisted into the military, Breland recalls spending two years on horseback riding the rugged country between Fort Clark and Del Rio.

"Breland continued serving his country. He tells of how, when he had turned nineteen, he was pinned down in the Pacific Islands during World War II.

"Breland donated some of his paperwork to the Fort's museum and said he plans to continue visiting the area."
