47 REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. Col. John Motszko was an infant when his uncle James Schueler returned from his tour of duty in Vietnam.
Even so, Uncle Jim’s wartime service has inspired Motszko throughout this military career.
“His service has always been a point of pride for me,” Motszko said. “During deployments and training, I always knew no matter how difficult things would get for me, he had survived far worse.”
Motsko’s 28 years of Army service includes multiple deployments to Iraq and other locations in the Middle-East, and to Bosnia. He has also served as the commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company 16th Special Troops Battalion in Baumholder, Germany. Currently, Motszko is the military deputy for Army Materiel Command’s Human Resources (G-1). His uncle is among several family members of AMC Headquarters employees who are being recognized through AMC’s Vietnam Veteran Commemoration Program.

CASPER, Wyo. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department said on Monday that a prescribed burn will be conducted within the Whiskey Basin Wildlife Habitat Management Area south of Dubois “in the late winter or early spring of 2021.”
Game and Fish and the Shoshone National Forest are conducting the prescribed burn as “part of a multi-year effort identified in the Whiskey Mountain Bighorn Sheep Plan to improve bighorn sheep habitat on and around the Whiskey Basin WHMA.”
“The fire will precede farming activities that will serve to improve supplemental winter forage for bighorn sheep,” Game and Fish added.
