When we set a perimiter for the night, the platoon sargent would go around and find positions for the squads. Each squad would then send two out to place flares and claymors. One would set the equipment and the other would stand guard. It was a good time to enjoy the jungle. No rucksaks, just harnesess, rarley any contact. Tie the flares to something solid and pull the pin out just enough.
And then the dusk would come and for a while all the jungle would sing untill it got dark.
Anybody remember that?

This past election caused a lot of dissent amoung our ranks here at our site, but, in the end as Americans we all stand behind the President elect,
dispite political differences.
I would like to wish all members of our site the very best of holidays.
If everybody is thinking from the same page, we arent thinking, we need to fight a smarter war.
Pray for our troops in Iraq this holiday.

I was born in Cuba and my first recollection of the 101st was from the movie “Battle Ground” that I saw in my native country during the turmoil’s of the 1954 elections. Little would I imagine that in 1960 I would be in the US and in 1968 I would be in the jungles of Vietnam with the 101st and serving with the best infantry battalion and regiment in the US Army. Having being part of the 101st Airborne and of the 2nd of the 327th Airborne Infantry will be one of my proudest moments of my life. Thank you for honoring our unit and many thanks for the honor of serving with the best.

To all of you whom I have grown to know and have become fond of, and to those of you of whom which have given a sacrifice in serving our great country, this is for you.
Thank you for serving, and I wanted to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I plan on helping my Grandfather SSG Fred Tregaskes Sr. (a Vietnam Vet) and his wife, Arlene Tregaskes, visit the veteran's homes and listen to the stories. I love listening to what it was like then, because to me understanding the then and the now makes my life more meaningful.
Thank you for serving and giving of yourself for our Great Country. One day I hope to do the same, and God Bless You All. You are all in my thoughts.
SIncerely,
the proud Granddaughter of a wounded, paralyzed, honored me, the proud friend of men he served with, and a patriotic citizen of the United States of America,
