Hello,

I’m trying to connect with anyone who may have served with or remembers my grandfather, Stephen “Steve” Johnson. He was born in 1949 and served with the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, A Company (Panthers), part of the 101st Airborne Division – Screaming Eagles, during 1968–1969 in Vietnam. I was told he may have been a Green Beret, and he may have been stationed at Firebase Bastogne at one point. He was wounded during his time overseas—possibly by shrapnel or gunfire to the shoulder and torso.

Steve was from Pe Ell and Raymond, Washington. He was about 5'6" to 5'8" with brown hair. In his military portrait, he wears the Infantry branch insignia, a white infantry shoulder cord, and service ribbons. His uniform also shows a "JOHNSON" name tag and may include a regimental or combat insignia.

If you served with him, have photos, memories, or even just recognize the name or face, I’d be deeply grateful to hear from you. Thank you all for your service.

Warm regards, Jasmine Johnson

Hello, my great uncle (Philip Larry Nichols) served with Company B, 2d Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division.

He was a medic in company B during the battle of Trung Long (Hill 258) and went on to receive the Distinguished Service Cross. I read that he saved multiple men and carried wounded out of the killing zone.

Was just wondering if anyone had any other stories of him or pictures by any chance!! I read Louis M. McDonald’s article and he mentions Doc (medic) Philip Nichols during the fight. If anyone would like to know more about his personal life or what occurred after he went on to a different unit then feel free to email me. He went on to become a 2nd Lieutenant, Infantry Unit Commander but lost his life on November 2nd of 68 due to an explosive device (booby trapped) artillery round on a bridge. He is buried on my Farm which I walk past often when Hunting.

I am looking for troopers that served with Abu mid 67/68. My medic Lonnie Layne passed on 4 years ago and he had 115 pictures of what he said were Abu. I know that we operated by platoons so I'm trying to locate someone that may be going to an Abu Reunion to show the photos and maybe get them to
anybody that recognizes who they are. Send me info and I will post them to you. Ron G Cobra 66/67

A great man and brave soldier passed a few weeks ago. My slack man and squad machine gunner, Travis Shattle died too soon. He succumbed to an infection in his shin from a motorcycle wreck about 25 years ago. B-Co 1st Plt 1st 327th Inf RVN
