Hello,
Today I got a phone call to help out someone down the road because his father passed away two days ago. Since I am the only one in the area that has been or is in the military they called me to help piece together his uniform for burial. Long story short, this man who I wish I knew did three tours in Vietnam and was wounded three times. I have been putting together his ribbons but felt I should try to tell someone else.( maybe get a hold of someone who knew him) I thought if I could say something at his funeral about his military time that would be great! Anyway his name is George G. Blackmar. I know he ended his time a SGT. I also know his was in the 101st, Aco 2nd Bn 327th, I know he was in in 67 (don't know what tour) looks like unit crest honor and country. If you can help me and his family I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
CPT (P) Eric T. Carlson

Would like to know any information about an SFC that was on the operation to the FB Fury AO in April 1971 with 1-327. He'd been wounded on a previous tour with 1 ID and his hand still bore the consequence. He was a drill with C-3-3 at Ft. Leonard Wood in 1969, where I met him. He was a good man, and I can't remember his name.

I am always amazed at the number of troopers that sign the guest book with how much they enjoyed their time in the 101st and especially 327th Regiment. These troopers should join the 101st Airborne Division Association. This organization was established at the end of WWII to perpetuate the brotherhood of the Screaming Eagles, no matter when you served,
My background with the division, I returned from Japan with the 508th RCT in July 1956 to help form the 101st into an Airborne Division. I was assigned to E Co 506th ABG also served with HHC 327th ABG and the C&C; Bn. I later served as a Plt Ld with B Co 2/327th and then commanded C Co 2/327th 67/68. I am currently the Chairman of the Board of the 101st Association. I am with the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter. If you are truly interested in the 101st please contact our Secretary/Treasurer Sam Bass to get information on how to join and find out about all of the good things that the Association is doing for our soldiers and their families at the following address: 2703 Michigan Ave/PO Box 929 Ft Campbell, KY (270) 439-0445. You can also call me especially if you served with me or would just like information on the 101st Association.

I am the governor of the 502nd Regiment or the O'Deuce as we use to be called back in Vietnam. I will be taking an active part in the Gathering of Eagles on March 17th in Washington DC at the Vietnam Memorial and the surrounding Hallowed ground helping to protect our other sacred Monuments as well from the anti-military, anti-American Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda ilk who will be attempting to use our sacred Vietnam Memorial as their back drop in their propaganda ploy and demonstration against our troops fighting in Iraq and SW Asia. I am trying to find as many Screaming Eagles as possible who will be there in Washington on the 17th as well as to look for the Black 101st Screaming Eagle Flag and to rally to me and each other so we can stand together as a Band of Brothers against this horde of un-American protesters. I am trying to get a head count of some kind and I can be reached at my email address or on the Gathering of Eagles website at the North Carolina link or comments page. Sapper Bob knows how to reach me as well on his 101st Screaming Eagles ~ 326th web site. Honor and Duty, Charlie Gant . Liasion Alpha & Delta Company's 2/502nd Strike Force Widow Makers

Congratulations YJ on your safe move. I hope the sale of your home in Fla is swift and brings you great profit. It is a little cooler in Tennessee, but you'll be closer to friends and dryer most of the time.
I hope my friend Don Matthews is allowed to join us at the site with his own page. My lengthy and frequent email correspondances with him convince me that he is one of us despite his unit designation. He slept among the same trees and in the same rain. His military contributions cost the NVA dearly and saved a lot of 327th lives.
