1990 --Jason James, 13, from Stockbridge, waits at the front gate to Fort Gillem in Forest Park with an American flag as convoys of the 101st Airborne stop for an overnight stay before continuing their journey. He did not know anyone with the unit but just wanted to show his support. The 101st became one of the first units deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War that month.
