Thanks for the memories of FB Bastogne being shut down. I spent many nights on the bunker line there. When we weren't in the bush, FB Bastogne was our primary FB for some hot chow and a shower. Sp4 Phil Goode C/2/327th 3rd platoon RVN 70-71 11B

Sometime around September 1971 myself and others were transferred from the departing 173rd Airborne to the 101st.
My MOS was parachute rigger so I was assigned to B/426, at that time the riggers for the 101st located at Camp Eagle. In September 1971 the 101st had cargo parachutes. I don't remember seeing any personnel chutes or T-10s.
We pack parachutes, rigged Foo-Gas and other stuff.
I remember a mission to Fire Base Bastogne to shut the place down for the 101st. The time frame had to be near October or November 1971. The 101st Airborne was standing down. Much of the equipment was already gone when we got there. Our mission was to get the guns and ammo off the Fire Base. While we were their, I watched a colonel fly into Bastogne on what looked like a OH-6 Loach helicopter. The Loach landed and with the blades turning this colonel got out, went to the flag pool and brought down the American flag. That moment has never left me. I felt very proud ...... I believe there was only 6 of us on the Fire Base when the colonel flew in and took the flag down. The 101st provided many aircraft above while we were there. In maybe 20 or 30 minutes it was all over. The last 105 gun with ammo was gone and we loaded on I think a Huey and flew back to Eagle. Sp/4 Carlson B/426 101st Airborne

I just came across this site today. I am in awe at what I have read and learned. I only wish I had found the site earlier. I am PFC Edwin 'Eddie' Sornson's sister. Eddie or Ed was killed 6-20 at Trung Luong. I am numb.
I was searching for info on Sgt. Carl Cuta, He was with Eddie and I have been searching for any info on him for a long time. I believe i discovered his death record but if anyone knew/knows of him I would appreciate any news,
For the 327 I have a photo taken of my brother. Its in a field with 4 of his friends. Behind them are 10-12 more soldiers. I would love to send the photo to you to help me identify any of the soldiers. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for reading this, God bless all of you. Sincerely, Dee (Sornson) Robinson

Wonderful site. I've been researching the details of a friends death in 67. Sp4 Elza "Mort" Brewer, C Co, 2/327th, was killed on Veteran's Day, during Operation Wheeler. One site shows him promoted Posthumously to SGT after he was KIA. Anyone with insight to the actions that day would be appreciated.

My Father Martin D. Protzman Was in "327th inf 1st bde 101st abn Co B 2d bn" . He was Air evacuated out on May 10, 1968 from Ashau valley. He had his right foot shot off as he dove into his fox hole. The first helicopter that came for him was shot down. He had to stay the night until the 2nd helicopter could come in the Morning. He heard the medic say if he didn't make it on that trip he would bleed to death. He made that Chopper. On his way up his helmet was shot off his head. My father is dying of lung cancer and the one thing he was known for as a teacher was his Vietnam speech he gave every senior class for 25 years. However, I cannot find a tape or his notes to that. I know Pieces of his experiences, but would love to find someone who served with him. I have posted the few pictures I have found of him on a facebook page along with the telegrams that were sent to his parents. My father helped to make sure that all of your experiences were never forgotten with each generation.

I was a close friend of Don Stinebaugh and I noticed someone was looking for him some years back. Don was in Vietnam 67-68, I believe. We were in college and grad school together '75-'81, and rode motorcycles together. Don died in 1988 from injuries received in a m/c crash returning home from visiting the wall in D.C. I served US Navy '73-'75, and Don was my big brother and hero.

I volunteer time researching and helping others return lost dog tags and other items to veterans /families. While researching a lost WWII dog tag for a man who wanted to give it back to the family, I came across the history of a very special veteran who served in the 327th Glider Infantry. He died 10 days after D-Day, and his brother had been killed in Germany a few months previously. It was their younger brother's dog tag being found that led me to learn about the 327th. The tag will soon be in the hands of his family. I see that a lot of people want to reunite with friends or need help researching their loved one's military service. I might be able to help with that, so please email me if you need help(free of charge). Thank you for your service to our country.
