We owe a HUGE AIRBORNE GRATITUDE to our brother Richard Cobb, Web Master for The 2nd O’Deuce, who produced these digital copies and provided us with the following:
First Screaming Eagles in Vietnam
Archive of Ivan Worrell’s 1st Brigade Newsletter
Beginning in 1998, Ivan Worrell (101st First Brigade Information Officer 66-67) began publishing a quarterly newsletter recording the history of the 1st Brigade of the 101st in Vietnam. He went on to publish 70 issues, in many of which the 2/502 is well represented. He stopped publication in 2015, and passed away in 2017(obituary). This page will be used to host the ongoing results of a project to digitize these newsletters for posterity. Newsletters will be added as time permits, so keep checking back
The first 4 issues used the name Diplomats and Warriors, after which the name was changed to First Screaming Eagles in Vietnam, which it remained till the end of publication.
Each issue is a PDF file, 25 to 30+ MB in size. It is recommended that they be read on a desktop computer (may or may not be satisfactory on a small phone screen/connection). Best to Right click on the individual links and select ‘Save Linked Content As’ to download them and then read them offline.
Diplomats and Warriors Vol 1 #1 Issue #1 July 1998
Diplomats and Warriors Vol 1 #2 Issue #2 October 1998
Diplomats and Warriors Vol 2 #1 Issue #3 January 1999
Diplomats and Warriors Vol 2 #2 Issue #4 April 1999
Note: There were only 4 issues of Diplomat and Warrior published. Ivan published 4 issues per year. The first issue of D&W was published mid-year 1998, so Volume 1 contained only issues number 1 and 2. The following year (1999), only 2 issues of D&W were published, so they became Volume 2, numbers 1 and 2 (published in the first half of 1999).
Then the name changed to First Screaming Eagles in Vietnam, and the numbering started over. That is, the last 2 issues of 1999 were Volume 1, numbers 1 and 2 of the The First Screaming Eagles.
Volume 2 was published in 2000, with issue numbers 1 through 4, and each volume until the end of publication maintained that numbering.
