I was across the street in the 62nd when they made the change over; teaching airdrop, dropping concrete and railroad ties on All American DZ 3 nights a week and calling Randolph most days trying desperately to go back overseas.

The story was that the fellas in the 16th hated the flying turd and that the Lowenbrau lion was chosen while sitting around drinking a few adult beverages.

The Griffin is actually a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet.
