Fisher at an Independence Day celebration and was in the same Boy Scout Wood Badge Training patrol as his son, Steve Fisher, in 1997 near McCall, Idaho. I understood that Steve went on to teach at the Air Force Academy after being stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Mountain Home, Idaho. Thanks Col. Bernie for your selfless courage in the heat of battle. Jim Franklin I have met Col.
