I knew many years ago in 1966 when I enlisted in the army and volunteered for the Airborne that I would be part of a special group of men and my only hope was that I would do well and not let them or my family down. I did well with all my training, and while neither being at the top of any particular class I completed everything asked of me.
As most of you know I ended up with 3rd Plt. Cobra/1/327th sometime towards the end of ?66. I was with them for the entire time while Vietnam until medically evacuated to Valley Forge with my third bout of Malaria at the end of my tour.
My biggest scars from my tour didn?t come from bullets or shrapnel, but from the many friends, good friends that I lost, friends I would never see again, my friends, and dreams of our future. It has taken me many years to figure the difference of dreams shared by the men you fought and lived with under hardship conditions and the dreams you dream about with your childhood friends. The latter dreams were just a passing of time while growing up and still invincible and dream the impossible dreams, the dreams in Vietnam with men I loved was more about dreams of struggle to prove to ourselves we would make it and would make it together. More often than I care to remember I discovered it was not to be.
It didn?t take me long after coming back home to see we as soldiers would be the only ones that would care or understand us and what we felt, even old childhood friends that didn?t served look at us a little different. I buried my head in the sand for about 30 years.
I want to fast forward now from my first reunion in Catlett, VA because if you don?t know it, you can always read it on the web site beginnings page.
Now why am I writing all this down? Recently, again as most of you know I had a life threatening situation. A heart attack, and as a result, open heart surgery and 5 by-passes. I was very lucky because it could have gone badly and I could have had a massive final heart attack. I am also very blessed because I have a strong family that loves me and are taking great care of me. But I found out that even after all these years there is still that bond between those I served with, even if not directly the bond was always there. All your prayers, cards, love, and emails have helped to heal me as if you were there with me holding my hand with my family. This is a little mixed up in the telling even for me, but I?m still on some drugs that while help me also keep me a little confused. I am sure that all of you can and will understand my meaning because the as confused as it is the reason I am writing it.
Hawk, got your message about your operation just before sending this, my prayers are with you and you family. From recent past experience you email and mail box will be filled with prayers and good wishes because that?s who we are.
Respectfully,
David J

I manned a M-60 in the weapons squad with Oscar P. Collins III and Patrick Maxie.
I was green and stupid (Especially when we went to Panama, except I was the only one who got lucky and didn't have to pay for it!)
I remember Spivey going AWOL , and SSG Anthony Alston riding that bicycle drunk.
It was the proudest time of my life!
