CW-3 Randy Baylette was an American Soldier! He was a standout among his peers. A dedicated Patriot who served our Nation with Spirit and Vigor! I was blessed to have him in B Company, 3rd Engineer Battalion, 24th Infantry Division (Mechanized) before and after Desert Shield and Desert Storm. His Family, Friends and those who served with him are lucky to have been a part of his story! First to Fight Randy! Victory! Pete Mueller, Colonel, USA (Ret)
