Those that remember June 22 1971. Alpha Co. 1st platoon, 1/327 and the murder of Marshall Miller.
I have been in contact with his cousins in Phoenix.
The person that murdered him is Oscar Martinez. He served approx 20 years in Leavenworth. Not sure how I feel about that. Marshall was my best friend in country and when I went on R&R; I talked him into taking over my radio for the platoon leader. If I wasn't able to get anyone I wasn't going to get to go on R&R.; That R&R; was when I married my wife 40 years ago. I was one day away from returning when Martinez locked and loaded on Marsh over some C-Rats.
I really want to find someone that was there to talk with them to find out exactly what happenend that day. For me and Marsh's family.

In July 1971 on FSB Binh Dinh my unit (B Btry 2/11) and a platoon from the 327th occupied this bald hill about 3km from Vegal. The unit had their mortar platoon with them and one of the tubes exploded killing several soldiers, two which were leaving the next few days going home. I have pictures of the platoon (before the explosion), and several members of the unit, they flew a Texas Flag above their Fire Direction Center.
If anyone knows of any surviving family members who would like pictures I would consider it an honor to send them the pictures that I have. If its any help we got hit by a Typhoon the night before the incident and it rained like it was going to turn the entire valley into a lake.
I have approximaly 20 pictures of the area around the small fire base, and many of those pictures include the great infantry soldiers from the 327th that provided us security.
I remain, a Redleg, tried and true. But there is nothing like "No Slack". They saved my gun sections bacon, on more than one occasion.
Respectfully, Command Sergeant Major (Retired) H.E. Lewis, Field Artillery.

Today, May 4, is a very important day for approximately 40 of us who started at Camp Crockett through jump school and ended up in Bravo Company 2/327. I would like to pay special tribute to Achoe and Holler and the many others who did not get to come home. Having just had the opportunity to talk to some of the guys I was in Nam with, it made me feel so good. I sincerely hope some day we all get to see each other again.
