Hello 2/327 vets! I have a question that hopefully one or some of you can answer. My friends and I are wondering, what is the story behind the 2/327th "Troublemaker"; shoulder scrolls? My friend owns an original uniform with one and has seen an original photo of someone wearing one but other than that we cannot find any other info. If you know the story behind it, please email me at lesniewski_david@yahoo.com
Thank you all for your service and welcome home!

I am posting in honor of my late-grandfather. The man, the myth, the Legend.
GARY L ‘HILLBILLY’ JONES
SERGEANT (E-5)
101st AIRBORNE
1st BATTALION/327th INFANTRY
CHARLIE COMPANY
APO San Francisco 96383
FROM OKLAHOMA
He was deployed in between May and June of 1967. He was awarded a Bronze Star with V Device (possibly 2), as well as a Purple Heart medal. He was injured in February of 1968 and came back home in April of 1968.
I would love to share the description of his BS, and hopefully one day find some men who witnessed this or knew how much of a bad son of a gun he was. If you knew Gary, you knew he wasn’t scared of anything or anyone. He was known to sing old Hank Williams Sr songs in the jungles to keep the men calm.
“For heroism in ground combat against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam on 5 January 1968, Sergeant Jones distinguished himself while serving with Company C, 1st Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry, in the vicinity of Phan Thiet, Republic of Vietnam, Company C became engaged with small arms and automatic weapons fire from concealed enemy positions. Sergeant Jones, with complete disregard for his own personal safety, charged, under the murderous hail of enemy fire, and completely routed the enemy from their fortified positions. As the enemy retreated, Sergeant Jones, leading his squad, gave chase to the enemy. While following blood trails, which the enemy left, Sergeant Jones came upon an enemy weapon. As he was picking up the weapon, his squad received enemy grenades. Sergeant Jones was knocked down, stunned, by the concussion, after which he leaped to his feet completely exposing himself to the enemy and threw three grenades at the suspected enemy positions, killing several enemy and forcing the remainder to retreat. Sergeant Jones' personal bravery and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.”

Hello gentlemen. My father, Roger Dale Lott, was HHT 2nd sqd 17th Cav for two tours in 68-70. He passed away in November 2014.
He had one of the Jumping Mary medals and, unfortunately it was lost following the settling of his estate. I have searched for years to find a replacement. I came across your website in that search but note the replica available is out of stock and few had any ideas on where to find one.
It has taken me years, but i just located Tonini Church Supply at Tonini.net. Under their "military" pendants, they have the Jumping Mary. It was only $2.50 plus shipping. Incredible.
Thought I would pass it along to anyone that is missing theirs.
