As a combat vet who has borne the brunt of our nations actions in Vietnam, bearing freedoms sword, and felt the embarrassment and scorn heaped upon the warriors from that conflict, I salute you Skytroopers, for helping to return honor to that service. I am heartened to see the outpouring of patriotic spirit here! I invite those who pass here to visit my "Vietnam Picture Tour, from the lens and poet’s pen of a combat infantryman, from one who's walked the walk, and can talk the talk...Take a walk in "the park" with the 1st Air Cavalry on combat patrol, that in reality will give you the sweet and sour taste of
"the Nam" on your tongue, leave the pungent smell of "the Nam" acrid in your nostrils, and imbed textures of "the Nam" in your brain as though you walked beside me in combat. Though we were in different units, we trod the same sod, and flew in the same skys. The 101st took over LZ Betty from the Cav, shortly after my premature exit when I was WIA, and we were on several missions together

I've signed before but I wanted all my 327th Brothers to know how very,very proud I am to be a part of this time honored and heroic regiment. Never delete me from the mailing list. I live to read the e-mailings. On this day 32 years ago, I never gave thought to my continued future, but here I am. Thanks to the Lord who heard and answered my many prayers. Bless the 2/327th Chargin Charlie's first Platoon rifle squad. NO Slack

Today had a touch of nostalgia in it... T'was 33 years ago today, Sept 20, 1969 1000 hrs at Mcguire AFB (@ Ft Dix NJ) that my plane took off for Nam. We went up to Alaska stopping in Anchorage for an hour or two and then on to Yakoda Japan and then TanSonNhut. Flew over Mount McKinley in Alaska and it was magnificent shooting up through the clouds!!! I'll never forget it!
