Rest in Peace Wayne Gaskins
Wayne passed on 10 April 2016. He served in Delta, No Slack, RVN, 1968-69 as an infantryman. Our tours over lapped but we were is separate platoons and we didn't link up until one of the 327th reunions at Crossville, TN, probably 2003 and beyond. He had lost his health but was lovingly cared for by his wife Sierra. They lived on Roan Mountain, TN. I was able to visit them there a few times. a On this 327infantry.org website, Wayne has a poem, "She Didn't Want to Play" and a story "The Train Station". Also on this 327infantry.org site's gallery are two photos of Wayne Gaskins, one with his wife Sierra titled "Thanksgiving" and "NoSlackers" of Yankee Jim Simchera, Wayne Gaskins, and myself, taken in 2011. I knew him to be a good man and fellow airborne infantry friend. RangerTom Carpenter, Delta No Slack, 101st Abn, RVN 1968-69

Looking for anyone who might have information on a member of Co. C 1/327 Inf. His name is Evans, he carried the M60. He was wounded during a night ambush late '69 or early '70. He was choppered out and I think he went to a navy ship off the coast. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I was with Co. E 2/327 when then Captain Finnegan was the CO. In January 1970 I was in charge of the FDC for the mortar platoon that was in the CP at FSB Tomahawk. Dennis was a damn good officer. He constantly worked to improve the security of the Firebase. I remember that he was not sure if he was going to stay in the Army. On New Year's eve he broke out a few bottles of booze (the small ones) that you got on the airplane for us to bring in the New Year. So sorry to hear that he paid the ultimate sacrifice. May he rest in peace.

Hello my name is Heather and I am the daughter of a Vietnam Vet. My Dad , Karl Ritter (Anderson, IN.) served in the Amry's 101st Airborne during the years of 1962 - 1965. My Dad never told us kids much about the Army or Vietnam. Dad used to say; that was way before you kids were ever even thought of. My Dad passed away in 2008 of a heart attack at the age of 64. When planning his funeral all we could find of his military past was a copy of his DD 214 which is what we needed for his military funeral. Anyhoot I am curious about what all my Dad did in the Army. What his rank was and meant, (SP-4 ,E-4 (T) , I would also love to meet anyone who served with my Dad. I don't know what all information to include in this message other than the information I've included so far. That's about all I have. I'm hoping someone out there knew him, served with him, maybe has some stories or photos of him. i've included all of my information for anyone who might have information about my Dad. Oh I almost forgot ... according to his DD 214 his last duty was ... CO C 2ND BN 327 INF 1st BDE , 101st ABN DIV.

Thank you for your time and God bless you for your service to our country! Much love & respect to you all !!!

Respectfully,
Heather Owen
