Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know who knew or served with Ken Claypoole, in the 101st or the 82nd Airborne, that he passed away yesterday at about 3:15 pacific time. Ken was in the Sutter General Hospital in sacramento when he passed.
He is survived by his wife Ruth and his son Ken junior and granddaughter Kienna, and a host of friends in the Sacramento area. Ken served in B/2/327 from October of 1966 till June 27th 1967, when he was severly wounded during operations near Duc Pho, when our squad was involved in an ambush, that took nearly half the squad that day.
He was originally in second platoon, but was selected for assignment to B-company's recon squad called the "Spiders" and finished out his time with B company there until he was medi-vaced to Japan to recover from his wounds. He returned to Viet Nam with the 82nd ABN. DIV. while assigned to the 17th Cav in late 68, and finished out his enlistment with the 82nd.
Ken was one of the best soldiers I served with and one of the toughest men I ever knew. He carried the M-79 and was very expert in it's use, he had one of the best personalitys in the company and was a friend to all who knew him, also a real prankster who could liven up any situation and make the day a little better when we needed a lift. He could also try your patience with his antics, but I could not imagine not having him in my squad, or in my life, and I'm sure any one who served with him would say the same thing, he was one of a kind.
So if you are a mind to, say a prayer or lift a glass in rememberence of this old paratrooper, who did his best, and will be missed by all who knew him, he was truly one of the "good ones".
"No Slack" and Best Regards to all of you.
Jim Wilson

I am 54 years old now, but as a young boy of 7-10 years old, raised in Georgia, I well remember our entire family each night praying on our knees for our troops fighting in Vietnam. Even though I am NOT a Vietnam veteran, it does not take Memorial day or Veterans day for me to think about what we lost in Vietnam. Please know that there are so many that love and respect you, and have not forgotten your sacrifices.

I was searching for John Brundage who served with the C. Co., 2/327 Inf 101st ABN. He was noted in a letter from a mutual friend, LT Claude Alexander who was wounded in ~ Aug 1970 and subsequently brought to our hospital the 85th Evac in Phu Pai. Claude has since passed away. I logged onto your site and noted that you are discussing the Christmas Eve incident of 1970. I was at the 85th Evac at that time and it was a very disconcerting incident for us at the hospital as well as for you. Difficult enough to work on the wounded troops knowing that it was 'Charlie' inflicting the damage - very disheartening to know that it was a mistake made by one of our own. I remember the LT in question was very distraught. There were other 'friendly fire' incidents while I was there, but none as traumatic as Christmas Eve 1970. At our 85th reunions that incident is remembered and much discussed. My heart goes out to all of you involved. Patti(85th Evac Phu Bai Aug 70- Dec 71)

Hello, I FOUND a memorial bracelet in the ocean while I was vacationing in Wilmington Beach N.C. a couple months ago. The bracelet is made of like a thin silver aluminum pretty washed up from being in the ocean. Well I finally got it to where I could read most of the writing. It has this written on it "SGT DAVID HART" then the second line says "2-327 INF PFC IVAN MERLO PFC PHILLIP PANNER 08 JAN 2008" Thats all that it says. I know someone would probably love to have their lost memorial bracelet back. If anyone has any information to whom might have lost this please email me asap, I would be happy to return such a thing. I was there in Sept 2011, It could have been lost anytime between Jan 2008-Sept 2011. My email is RobinJay1018@gmail.com. I hope I could find the rightful owner. I appreciate everything all of you guys do for the country and for us individually. God Bless All.
