Was informed that Frank "Lone Wolf" Norris passed away today. Frank gathered up his strength to attend the Phoenix reunion and share a ton of memories with his trooper buddies. He is now sailing with the eagles in the arms of God. Please say a prayer for his fiance Janie and his family.

Your website is quite interesting - providing me a perspective on Vietnam that is different from my experience as a Marine infantry squad leader with Kilo 3/1 during 1967.
I have a question - could you please explain how many troops were in the 327th at full capacity? Furthermore how many troops are in an Army battalion or brigade at full strength? Lastly, what size is a full strength company?
In the Marine Corps during Vietnam we were usually understrength. Replacements for killed and seriously wounded were always behind the need. The assignment, however, never changed - being under strength just made the mission more difficult for those who survived ....
I appreciate an answer to my request regarding the size of units in the 327th. Thanks in advance.
Semper Fi,

Just wanted to thank everyone who's been E-Mailing. It is really great to hear from all the guys that walked the same trails and slept in the same mud so long ago. Wanted to let you know that I stayed in the Army after Vietnam and have many buddies from other posts and units. I told them about this web page and they use it a lot to help with the VA ect. Great job to all you guys who work so hard to keep this site as great as it is. Thank You.

Hello:
I really enjoy your web site and it has given me some insight as to my uncles fallen brothers and current ones.. I managed to contact some of his former brothers but the emails got lost. I'm looking for info on anyone who served with A Co., 3rd Platoon, 2/327th Inf. from Dec 14 1967 - Feb 5 1968. My uncle's name was Gerald Pelzman 1LT. and he served with your unit until his death on February 5, 1968, in Gia Dinh. If you have any info or pictures and would like to share, it would mean a lot to me. Please feel free to drop me a line anytime. I would also like to see if anyone who has served with LT. Gerald Pelzmann "little beaver" will be at the upcomming event in Arizona in Sept 04'. Thanks for the great work.
Take care,
Gerald Green

I'm still looking for several members of B-Company of the 1st 327th Inf-101st ABN who served in '69-'70 with me. I'm in touch with several already.

I think of you all as friends. Email me, I might be able to hook you up with some of the bros. I have a book coming out soon. Your name and face might be in it. There are many whose photos appear that I wasn't able to attach a name too.

Welcome home to all. I'm looking to make contact to those guys that were in "D" Company 2/327th in 1970. I humped the radio and look forward to hearing from others in Nam during that time. I read this site pretty frequently hoping to see some names I remember. Most of the time I don't remember the names, but I sure do remember all the faces. Hopefully someday I'll see some of you at a reunion. Bye for now. Write.

I am a veteran governor of the 327th Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division Association. At the last reunion in Hampton Va., a proposal was made that the association make a gesture to the active division to both support them in this critical time and to honor their great service to our country. Part of that proposal is to seek donations from the veterans of the 327th regiment of $5 to $10 each for the purpose of purchasing pavers engraved with the names of those 327th troopers who died in Iraq, those pavers to be laid at the 101st monument at Ft Campbell. These pavers are $101 each. Any surplus from this project is to be donated to the Support Fund for junior enlisted personnel of the active division at Ft Campbell. As Vietnam veterans, I'm sure we appreciate and honor the valor and sacrifice made by the division in this war and the service that they might yet have to provide in the near future.

I am a songwriter in Dallas, Texas. I'm looking for information about a man named Danny Nye (Daniel Eugene Nye). It's a long, long story but I thought I had "made up" a fictitious name and story as the basis of a song. Turns out, I think that through coincidence or fate (or something more bizarre)I "made up" a real person and what really happened to him. Weird, I know. But can anyone help?
Sincerely,
