While watching the motocycle parade at DC this Memorial Day weekend, I started a converstion with the guy standing next to me who was also a Vietnam Veteran. I asked him who he was with and he stated he was with the 327th. About blew my socks off. His name is Lloyd Williams and he was with C Co. 2nd/327th from Sept '68 to Sept '69. I asked him if he has been to the 327th web-site and he said he isn't to computer literate. Any way he wanted to let anyone who knew him that he is still alive and well, living in Hunstville, Alabama.

My nickname was "blondie",but I wasn't really a blond. (long story) I'm lookin for "Whitey", now he really was a white blond and came out of Florida. I was from Illinois at that time.

Bastogne Bulldogs,
What a great website! I enjoyed visitng, reading the GuestbookBastogne, and understanding the history of this great unit, just a little bit more. My father (Tech 5 Max Lawerence Conant) served with HQ Co, 3rd Bn, 327 Glider Infantry during WWII. He has since passed away and it is through this site I can understand his combat history.
May God keep you all safe and bless you for your Service to this country during a time of war once again.
