Greetings to one and all, got back from visiting the soldiers at Delta Co 1-327th In in Ft Campbell Ky. Spent a few hours with them, these are bunch of good kids, they are professional in every sense of the word. Have looked into their eyes and saw the tiger and the compassion in their hearts. We should all be proud of the way they handle themselves and all they could say to me was that they were following in our footsteps. They are our pride and our warriors of the 21st century. They are true to their beliefs and they knew what they were fighting for, each other and for you and me. A big hearty Airborne and Air Assualt Sir!

Hello to all of you wonderful veterans. Thank you so much for fighting for American freedom. I stand proud each and every day that I say the pledge of allegiance. You men are a bunch that you just don't see anymore. I am the granddaughter of SSG Frederick J. Tregaskes and he was in Vietnam in 1966 until around October of 1967 I think.
I would like some information about Vietnam, any thing you would like to share with me, please do. I am in 10th grade at West Shamokin High School in PA, and my social studies class will be studying the Vietnam war pretty soon. If you want to send me anything, please do. My email address is kimberlytregaskes@yahoo.com .
I want to say thank you for fighting for me. Thank you for helping my grandfather out of that jungle in Vietnam. If you know him, please send me an email. I want to know what happened to him in Vietnam.
Pap, SSG Frederick J. Tregaskes is still alive, he is well. He was inducted into the Soldiers and Sailors Hall of Valor in Pittsburgh Pa a few years ago.
Please send me some information.
And once again, thank you for my freedom.
KIM

I was in Mortar Battery of the 327th and got out just before Viet Nam in March of 1963. I can't find anything about Mortar Batter on this site. Did they disolve it for Viet Nam? Does anybody know?

My umpteenth visit to the site...great job, guys. Recently moved to Santa Fe, NM, from Washington State, and have visited with ex-Tiger and friend Dan Clint and his wonderful wife Terresa. Dan is one of my favorite "unaffiliated" writer's on the VN experience. He speaks of our experiences from his heart and soul. Ran into Gary Epperley, my point-man, and talked with Randy LaFaver, best-ever RTO, from '69/'70. Our world is so full of many brave and great people such as these. I was PL for 2nd/C/1/327th (Sept 69 - March 70) and then Tigers (March 70 - July 70). Best wishes to all.

I hope everyone watched "The Siege of Fire Base Ripcord" on War Stories. They said that the media wasn't allowed to cover the battles in 1970. That's why there was so little footage and so few photographs. I said it before, nobody cared about Vietnam in 1970. We were an annoyance. The ARVN and war protestors got more coverage. Jane Fonda and John Kerry got more coverage. The war in I Corps was far from over in 1968. It didn't end in 1970 when I left either. 1971 was statistically the most dangerous year to be a chopper pilot. What must those men have gone through? Erick

Keep up the Great work on this sight. It has helped me find some lost buddies and last night I put another piece of my puzzle together.I talked to Steve(ie) Pohancek (kia Dec 70) cousin. I have had a picture of him and could not remember his name until I saw his picture listed and got in touch with Welby Schrader. Hearing him pronounce his name and telling me he grew up in Chicago made things click. I am still looking for buddies I was with 1/327th A co 3rd plt RTO Jan 70 to Feb 71. Welcome "HOME ALL VETS".

I was a medic/OR Tech that helped your guys after the Bastogne shelling in December 1970. I had been playing Santa Claus for the patients and medics and was called to the intake/emergency room to help with a large number of your guys that had been torn up pretty bad. I saw lots of young healthy men with their limbs blown off, many internal injuries from head to toe. We helped save many lives but were unable to save some. I promise you we all did our best for each and every one of you. For those of you who have survived 30 +years , well done. Keep up the good work!

I was assigned on a FO team with the Tigers in May 67 for about three months, then to A 1/327. Never seen any atrocities being committed. Just returned for a short vacation from Kosovo where I am with the International Police Force. I always counted my stay with the 1/327 as the best. I also returned for a second tour in 70-71. ATR

I came in as a replacement medic at Dak To and I went into the field assigned to Abu & Cobra Co's. I remember a guy named Killian getting killed and because of the similarity of our names people thought it was me. I recall Sgt. Fields getting shot in the arm and Joe Sumler and I both worked on treating his wound and he died inspite of our efforts from what seemed to be a very superficial wound. I recall some action in Phan Thiet, when two guys on a M-60 machine gun were both wounded, one was Peavey, but I forget the other's name. Both recovered and returned to action. I would like to get in touch with Jim Echols of Atlanta.
