Bob Branconnier,

Master Chef/nutritional advisor.

 

Why I am a Marauder

 

I am a Viet Nam Veteran. I served from 1969 thru 1971. As a member of the 101st Airborne, I was attached to the 1st Air Cavalry Division.

I understand the importance of closure for the families who have lost so much. I want to be part of the Marauders to assist in any capacity to achieve that end. My primary responsibility is keeping my fellow teammates well nourished and properly fed while they make their way through some of the least hospitable terrain on earth. Where we go and given the amount of physical excursion expended by each team member, proper nutrition is vital.
