It is with a heavy heart and much sorrow,that I advise of the passing of Charles "Chuck" McIver. Chuck was a member of the "Hawk-Platoon" and served with much honor and valor. I had the honor of serving with him for much of my 1st tour. Chuck passed away on the night of 11-29-09 after a short bout with cancer. The memorial was attended by many, fellow 'Hawks" were their to say good-bye. J.B. Moorehouse and I attended and said a few words for all-Hawks who were with him. Chuck will be missed by all. Please keep Chuck and Sharon in your prayers. God Bless,stay safe.

Forty-one years ago this week (Dec '68) I was medivaced from Co B,2/327th. I was always a cherry! Finished my tour as a DI at Ft. Ord; on weekends I often traveled into SF to see rock greats at the Fillmore, or Led Zepelin at Winterland, and Ike and Tina with the Rolling Stones in Oakland Coliseum. Word came from the top not to use "Lulu" marching songs because they were offensive to women. I replaced Lulu with Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance". There was never as much esprit de corps with "Peace" as there was with "I Want To Be An Airborne Ranger"! NFS

I happened upon Ted McCormack's story after searching for info. on Hill 882. A show on the military channel made me research the battle I served with 1st Plt.Company B, 1/327th. I arrived on Hill 882 new(less than a week) in country sometime in May. I had forgotten most of the names of buddies, unit # etc. until I read his story. The only names I remembered was Erick's, Ed's and Forrest, and then Capt. Terrible Terry and Lt. Shultz when I read the story.
I recall most of his story about the battle on 882 in that May. A lot of it was a daze for me since I arrived with some other new replacements for the unit. It's amazing how now I recall some other names, details etc. I was in country with the unit until early February 1971.
As a "shake and Bake" NCO I later became squad leader(not sure which squad) and even platoon sgt. for several weeks because we had no E-6's or E-7's for a time. I had no problem remembering a lot of the events and faces but names seemed to escape me. I hope to hear from anyone who served during that time. I have not done a lot of research regarding exact dates but intend on finding out a lot more in the coming weeks.

4o years ago this Thanksgiving I had turkey at a mess hall in Bien Hua, then again on the airplane over the ocean. I arrived at Travis around 7 or 8 PM, called a buddie and he came and picked me up. He drove me to my folks house and surprised everyone. Had turkey dinner again before midnight. So three times in one day, three different places in the world. The previous week my mother had someone (my buddies) take her to Travis to watch every plane land, my flight was the first she had missed.
I pray all is well with all of my platoon and company members and all that I met and knew in the military.

HI Guys and Gals-I have helped many Vietan vets to reenter life after Nam. It is a bitch. A vet taught me that people don't care and don't understand. Don't expect them to. They can't as they have not lived, loved and lost. If they want to hear don't turn them off. It is a start.
