Joseph,

My name is David Laukat and I represent the 14th FA Regiment as it's honorary CSM. The 1-14th FA is still active at Fort Sill, while my home is in Oklahoma City; about 90 miles away.

You are most welcome to come to the Fort Sill area any time that you are able to visit and look around. I might warn you though, the battalion no longer fires cannons, but fire artillery rockets off of wheeled launchers. They have been in the field this past week with live fires being conducted.

Give me a heads-up as to when you would be in this area and I'll get with the commander and CSM and arrange a time when you could come out to visit with the unit. We'll make a visit out to the new Artillery Museum if you'd like along with other areas.

I'll put the dates onto my calendar as a reminder. If for some reason I can't make it there are a few other association members that I'm sure will be able to meet with you. Have a safe trip.
