Dear Editor,
I would like to start a movement to name the new football field at Iroquois Central School in honor of Mark Radmacher.
Sergeant Mark A. Rademacher was born June 7, 1963, in Buffalo, New York. Mark attended Iroquois Central and played for the Chiefs from 1978 to 1981.
He joined the Army in September 1981. His training assignments with the Rangers took him to Puerto Rico, Washington, Wisconsin, Florida, Panama and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Mark graduated Ranger School on October 28, 1982. His additional training included the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Course at Fort Stewart, the Special Forces Demolitions Program and Jungle Training which earned him the Jungle Expert Patch in June 1983. He served as Rifleman, Grenadier, and Team Leader in A Company, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.
Mark was promoted to Sergeant three and a half weeks prior to his death.
Sergeant Rademacher died in combat operations on October 25, 1983, in Grenada.
Please email the Iroquois School Board and express support for this.
