I came across this site while doing a little research for my family history. Thanks to all the brave 327th men and women for your service over the years. My grandfather was a WWI veteran. PFC Emilio Aballo, Co D 327th Infantry. He was involved in the battle of St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne offensive. He was wounded and gassed and unfortunately experienced health issues the rest of his life. He also exemplified the bravery of the 327th as indicated in a citation from Headquarters 164th Infantry Brigade, American E.F. France (4 May 1919) which reads in part "Assisted by a comrade he captured a machine gun nest and in a hand to hand fight bayonetted the crew of five men". I have a photo of him in his uniform, the original citation (although difficult to read after years of wear) and some other documentation. If you would like copies of anything for your archive I would be more than happy to provide them.

I didn't hear about Frank's passing until he was long gone.
My fault for ghosting a few years. I miss our late night calls we used to have when one of us was drifting back.
May he find peace.

I have never been assigned to 327 Inf, but I have been stationed at Fort Campbell and I'm a OIF Veteran. The reason I'm posting on here, is for my father. Kenneth Gillingham, He was attached to B co. 3/327 during July 1968 for another push through the A Shau. He was W.I.A. and sent from there to Japan. Of course all of his records were "burned" in the VA fire in the 70's and this is to include his purple heart his DD 214, everything. Does anyone on this site know my father, or know how I can back track all of his records, or get a hold of the casualty feeder reports from that time period?

In the section of this website that is the 2nd/327, "No Slack" is the famous photo titled "With Help from Above". The caption underneath the photo states that the central figure is Lt. Sewell. Can anyone with direct knowledge of this photo direct me to the specific individual in the photo that is Lt. Sewell. Your help is appreciated.

I was in A Co., 2nd/327, No Slack, from May 68 to May 69.
It has been a life long honor to have served shoulder to shoulder for 365 days with the boonie rats of the No Slack. I have been back to Viet Nam numerous times and look forward to communicating with any of my fellow boonie rats. May life continue to be good to all who were fortunate to have returned.

In early "66, I was a gunner on Huey that landed at Phan Rang bringing some troops back from field. We shutdown and walking back to ship, came within ten-fifteen yards of college buddy that lived across hall from me at University of Arkansas in "62. We were the best of friends at college, but yet at Phan Rang encounter, could only stare at each other. I still feel that moment today, almost 50 years later. I left college after first semester and didn't see him anymore until Phan Rang day. I believe he had LT bars sewn in fatigues and was with four or five troops appearing to either just be coming in or going out on mission. As our Huey took-off with myself in gunner position, our stares were locked on each other until out of sight.
Above being the reason, is there anyway I can get a rooster of the guys stationed there (February -July "66) in an attempt to find his name. The only name I have to go by is "Roy" and believe he was a first Lt.
I really appreciate your time, for I have spent years trying to put this to rest.

Sometime around September 1971 myself and others were transferred from the departing 173rd Airborne to the 101st.
My MOS was parachute rigger so I was assigned to B/426, at that time the riggers for the 101st located at Camp Eagle. In September 1971 the 101st had cargo parachutes. I don't remember seeing any personnel chutes or T-10s.
We pack parachutes, rigged Foo-Gas and other stuff.
I remember a mission to Fire Base Bastogne to shut the place down for the 101st. The time frame had to be near October or November 1971. The 101st Airborne was standing down. Much of the equipment was already gone when we got there. Our mission was to get the guns and ammo off the Fire Base. While we were their, I watched a colonel fly into Bastogne on what looked like a OH-6 Loach helicopter. The Loach landed and with the blades turning this colonel got out, went to the flag pool and brought down the American flag. That moment has never left me. I felt very proud ...... I believe there was only 6 of us on the Fire Base when the colonel flew in and took the flag down. The 101st provided many aircraft above while we were there. In maybe 20 or 30 minutes it was all over. The last 105 gun with ammo was gone and we loaded on I think a Huey and flew back to Eagle. Sp/4 Carlson B/426 101st Airborne

I just came across this site today. I am in awe at what I have read and learned. I only wish I had found the site earlier. I am PFC Edwin 'Eddie' Sornson's sister. Eddie or Ed was killed 6-20 at Trung Luong. I am numb.
I was searching for info on Sgt. Carl Cuta, He was with Eddie and I have been searching for any info on him for a long time. I believe i discovered his death record but if anyone knew/knows of him I would appreciate any news,
For the 327 I have a photo taken of my brother. Its in a field with 4 of his friends. Behind them are 10-12 more soldiers. I would love to send the photo to you to help me identify any of the soldiers. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for reading this, God bless all of you. Sincerely, Dee (Sornson) Robinson

Wonderful site. I've been researching the details of a friends death in 67. Sp4 Elza "Mort" Brewer, C Co, 2/327th, was killed on Veteran's Day, during Operation Wheeler. One site shows him promoted Posthumously to SGT after he was KIA. Anyone with insight to the actions that day would be appreciated.

My Father Martin D. Protzman Was in "327th inf 1st bde 101st abn Co B 2d bn" . He was Air evacuated out on May 10, 1968 from Ashau valley. He had his right foot shot off as he dove into his fox hole. The first helicopter that came for him was shot down. He had to stay the night until the 2nd helicopter could come in the Morning. He heard the medic say if he didn't make it on that trip he would bleed to death. He made that Chopper. On his way up his helmet was shot off his head. My father is dying of lung cancer and the one thing he was known for as a teacher was his Vietnam speech he gave every senior class for 25 years. However, I cannot find a tape or his notes to that. I know Pieces of his experiences, but would love to find someone who served with him. I have posted the few pictures I have found of him on a facebook page along with the telegrams that were sent to his parents. My father helped to make sure that all of your experiences were never forgotten with each generation.

I was a close friend of Don Stinebaugh and I noticed someone was looking for him some years back. Don was in Vietnam 67-68, I believe. We were in college and grad school together '75-'81, and rode motorcycles together. Don died in 1988 from injuries received in a m/c crash returning home from visiting the wall in D.C. I served US Navy '73-'75, and Don was my big brother and hero.

I volunteer time researching and helping others return lost dog tags and other items to veterans /families. While researching a lost WWII dog tag for a man who wanted to give it back to the family, I came across the history of a very special veteran who served in the 327th Glider Infantry. He died 10 days after D-Day, and his brother had been killed in Germany a few months previously. It was their younger brother's dog tag being found that led me to learn about the 327th. The tag will soon be in the hands of his family. I see that a lot of people want to reunite with friends or need help researching their loved one's military service. I might be able to help with that, so please email me if you need help(free of charge). Thank you for your service to our country.

Sometime around September 1971 myself and others were transferred from the departing 173rd Airborne to the 101st.
My MOS was parachute rigger so I was assigned to B/426, at that time the riggers for the 101st located at Camp Eagle. In September 1971 the 101st had cargo parachutes. I don't remember seeing any personnel chutes or T-10s.
We pack parachutes, rigged Foo-Gas and other stuff.
I remember a mission to Fire Base Bastogne to shut the place down for the 101st. The time frame had to be near October or November 1971. The 101st Airborne was standing down. Much of the equipment was already gone when we got there. Our mission was to get the guns and ammo off the Fire Base. While we were their, I watched a colonel fly into Bastogne on what looked like a OH-6 Loach helicopter. The Loach landed and with the blades turning this colonel got out, went to the flag pool and brought down the American flag. That moment has never left me. I felt very proud ...... I believe there was only 6 of us on the Fire Base when the colonel flew in and took the flag down. The 101st provided many aircraft above while we were there. In maybe 20 or 30 minutes it was all over. The last 105 gun with ammo was gone and we loaded on I think a Huey and flew back to Eagle. Sp/4 Carlson B/426 101st Airborne

I received several e-mails in regards to my posting for both of them. With the info that I received, I was able to contact Doc Teeters and speak with him. Actually, I have spoke with Doc Teeters a couple of times and plan to stay in contact with him. Doc T asked me if I knew anyone with the 327 Inf, because he was wanting to speak with Doc Heyn. But, I do not know Doc Heyn. So, if anyone knows how to contact Doc Heyn, please let him know that Doc T is wanting to speak to him. Or I will try to contact Doc Heyn if I can find contact info for him. Thanks to all that responded to my posting. I deeply appreciate all of the men and women that have made sacrifices and are making sacrifices to protect us and to protect our freedom!! God Bless you all!!

Dear Thomas Dixon,
I was new to the outfit In June, 1966, having been transferred in from the 82nd. I got to C company around the end of May and although John was my platoon Sgt, being new I did not get a chance to know him well. The highland engagement around Dak To was my first action.
I was next to John when he was wounded. John was wounded trying to help another wounded soldier. He was hit in the feral artery and Doc Dollinger did all he could but we were stuck on a hill all night and could not get out until the next morning.
Doc Dollinger was a fine medic and he left our platoon later on that summer. I also lost track of him but I do remember that he came from Kansas City MO and loved the town.
Sorry I could give you any more info. Perhaps some of the other Ist platoon guys who new John better will see your inquiry and respond.
Regards,
Chuck Cusumano

RE: SP5 LONNIE R BUTTS, B CO, 1 BN, 327TH INF RGT, 101 ABN DIV
My name is Jeanna Carlene Foster. I am a 2nd cousin of SP5 Lonnie R Butts. Thank you for the wonderful memorial for SP5 Lonnie Butts.
At the time of SP5 Lonnie Butts' death I was only 4 1/2 years old. I do not remember him. I have always wished I had been old enough to know him. My memory of his funeral has never faded over the past 46 years. But, this past Memorial Day, I felt a need to find out more about Lonnie. So, while everyone else was at cookouts, I stayed at home and began to search. I found his name and more than I expected on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I did not know,until Memorial Day 2013, the great extent of his unselfish dedication and bravery and at such a young age. I felt a connection with him as I read the Presidential Citation in awe and tears. He has touched my heart in such a way that I can not put it in words. I feel that I know something about the person Lonnie was, but I have a desire to know more. I hope that someone will share with me anything that they knew about SP5 Lonnie R Butts. I just feel that I need to make a connection with someone that he served with.
I Thank You with all My Heart for all that you have done for this country and the people!! No words can ever explain the deepest gratitude that I have for the Fallen, those who Have Served and are Serving! I know Freedom is not free, because all of you have paid the price for everyone else and some have paid the ultimate sacrifice!
I look forward to receiving a response from anyone. God Bless you all!
Sincerely,
Jeanna Carlene Foster

I signed the guestbook a few weeks ago. I was searching for anyone that knew my cousin Lonnie Butts, KIA, and Douglas (Doc) Teeters, both served in Vietnam. I received several e-mails in regards to my posting for both of them. With the info that I received, I was able to contact Doc Teeters and speak with him. Actually, I have spoke with Doc Teeters a couple of times and plan to stay in contact with him. Doc T asked me if I knew anyone with the 327 Inf, because he was wanting to speak with Doc Heyn. But, I do not know Doc Heyn. So, if anyone knows how to contact Doc Heyn, please let him know that Doc T is wanting to speak to him. Or I will try to contact Doc Heyn if I can find contact info for him. Thanks to all that responded to my posting. I deeply appreciate all of the men and women that have made sacrifices and are making sacrifices to protect us and to protect our freedom!! God Bless you all!!

Dear Thomas Dixon,
I was new to the outfit In June, 1966, having been transferred in from the 82nd. I got to C company around the end of May and although John was my platoon Sgt, being new I did not get a chance to know him well. The highland engagement around Dak To was my first action.
I was next to John when he was wounded. John was wounded trying to help another wounded soldier. He was hit in the feral artery and Doc Dollinger did all he could but we were stuck on a hill all night and could not get out until the next morning.
Doc Dollinger was a fine medic and he left our platoon later on that summer. I also lost track of him but I do remember that he came from Kansas City MO and loved the town.
Sorry I could give you any more info. Perhaps some of the other Ist platoon guys who new John better will see your inquiry and respond.
Regards,
Chuck Cusumano

I'm not sure how many keep track of what's being added to the site but I thought I would give this heads up. Recently a "B" company troop send me many photos taken by a U.S. Army photographer. They are not exclusive of the 327th but from the 101st in general. If you go to "B" photo page, http://www.327infantry.org/first/1st_photo_brave_rifle and click on Howard L. Logsdon (1-8) pages (about 15 per page) you may see something or someone you remember. This has taken me awhile but very proud that Howard sent me these photos to post. He promise's a few more to come.

I'm not sure how many keep track of what's being added to the site but I thought I would give this heads up. Recently a "B" company troop send me many photos taken by a U.S. Army photographer. They are not exclusive of the 327th but from the 101st in general. If you go to "B" photo page, http://www.327infantry.org/first/1st_photo_brave_rifle and click on Howard L. Logsdon (1-8) pages (about 15 per page) you may see something or someone you remember. This has taken me awhile but very proud that Howard sent me these photos to post. He promise's a few more to come.

He passed away Sept. 1997. His wife, my Mom is still active and alert. I wonder if there are other 327th GID WWII Vets, wives, widows out there? If so please contact me by email.

The following is an online petition to the White House. If you would like to sign it...you may do so at this site: "https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/lower-precedence-new-distinguished-warfare-medal/5KdnkBBN
"We petition the Obama administration to:
Lower the precedence of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal.
The Pentagon is introducing a new medal to recognize the service of pilots of unmanned drones during combat operations. This medal will be placed in precedence order just below the Distinguished Flying Cross and just above a Bronze Star Medal. Bronze Stars are commonly awarded with a Valor device in recognition of a soldier's service in the heat of combat while on the ground in the theater of operation. Under no circumstance should a medal that is designed to honor a pilot, that is controlling a drone via remote control, thousands of miles away from the theater of operation, rank above a medal that involves a soldier being in the line of fire on the ground. This is an injustice to those who have served and risked their lives and this should not be allowed to move forward as planned."

I served with HHC at Camp Eagle Vietnam 1971-72. I worked as the CIF NCO. During the end of our time in Vietnam (1972) I brought the unit back to FT. Campbell, serving with B Co until I PCS to Alaska in 1974. Between Vietnam and Ft. Campbell, B Co was sent to San Mateo CA. We were adopted sons of that city and was showered with many plessings for the entire community for several days prior to being released to go home on leave and see our family and loved ones. I recall many events of that time but have forgotten many a name. I'd be interested to know where I could see a company roster for 1971-72. I have a few pictures of that time.

The following is an online petition to the White House. If you would like to sign it...you may do so at this site: "https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/lower-precedence-new-distinguished-warfare-medal/5KdnkBBN
"We petition the Obama administration to:
Lower the precedence of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal.
The Pentagon is introducing a new medal to recognize the service of pilots of unmanned drones during combat operations. This medal will be placed in precedence order just below the Distinguished Flying Cross and just above a Bronze Star Medal. Bronze Stars are commonly awarded with a Valor device in recognition of a soldier's service in the heat of combat while on the ground in the theater of operation. Under no circumstance should a medal that is designed to honor a pilot, that is controlling a drone via remote control, thousands of miles away from the theater of operation, rank above a medal that involves a soldier being in the line of fire on the ground. This is an injustice to those who have served and risked their lives and this should not be allowed to move forward as planned."

I served with HHC at Camp Eagle Vietnam 1971-72. I worked as the CIF NCO. During the end of our time in Vietnam (1972) I brought the unit back to FT. Campbell, serving with B Co until I PCS to Alaska in 1974. Between Vietnam and Ft. Campbell, B Co was sent to San Mateo CA. We were adopted sons of that city and was showered with many plessings for the entire community for several days prior to being released to go home on leave and see our family and loved ones. I recall many events of that time but have forgotten many a name. I'd be interested to know where I could see a company roster for 1971-72. I have a few pictures of that time.

It's the A Co, 35th Cbt Engr guy again. Just a couple of memories from 68. Anyone remember the Quad 50 on the deuce and a half at the bridge called "Respect"? The LRP's used to land their Hueys on our beach for a 24 hr stand down and swim, which we were not allowed to do. In Dec 68 I went onto a Firebase on QL1 to see the comedian Joey Bishop choppered in. He was there 10 minutes till incoming. Does anyone know which FB that was?

Dec 31 1968 We moved up to Phu Bai, then Hue, then down to Soc Trang in the Delta. Was up on the Los Banos a few times in 68, but never could remember the name until now. We also did some stuff with 2/502 in 68. Glad to see the photos

My Dad, George G. Young served in the 101st Airborne 327th Infantry CO-B 2d bn. I don't know much about his time there because he never spoke much about it. He was in Vietnam somewhere around Fall of 66 to the summer of 67 from what I can dig up. He had passed away in 2001. I have recently begun a search for information on him during the war. I have some paper work and various things left behind from him but would like to know more.

I served with HQ Co. 1/327 until February 1966 when I went to B Co. as a replacement for casualties suffered in the fight at My Cann II 2nd Feb, 1966. I was on a machinegun crew at My Phu on March 3, 1966 where Jack Lindsey, the gunner and Graham were killed. Also, Norman Buell the brave dedicated medic of 1st platoon was killed there too. I served in several fights until I was hospitalized with a fever at the 8th Field Hospital in Nha Trang around the first part of August and returned to Phan Rang the 1st Brigade Base camp for return to the states and discharge from the army on 18th August, 1966. I want to mention Knight the other machinegunner of weapons squad, Michael Hartness my assistant gunner and Wainscott a member of 1st platoon.

I was transferred to MASS-3, on Freedom (327) Hill, Danang, when the Marine Air Traffic Control Unit(MATCU)at Chu Lai rotated to CONUS about August, 1970. I was a fish out of water at MASS-3. I was a young radar thech barely out of radar school when I got orders to RVN. I knew nothing about what a MASS was or did. I later found out that we used a type of radar system to provide CAS suoort units in the field. Given the appropriate coordinates, we could direct suitably-equipped fighter-bombers to give precise CAS as needed.
The powers in charge I was best suited at FSB Birmingham and the ASRT located there, as p/o the 13 man detachment. I wound up being the designated grunt because there basically was nothing else there I could do.
The day I arrived @ B'ham, I was greeted by a 1st Lt. who was the det. OIC. He told me that "we have everything up to and including 8" self-propelled howitzers." He then informed me that everyone in the det. carried 2 weapons. What did I want? I asked him what was available, and he showed me a large wooden crate full of various weapons. I found a functional M-79 in there, and requested double 00 buckshot rounds. When asked why I wanted that type of round, my response was that I wanted something effective up close and personal in case everything "up to and including 8" self-propelled howitzers" didn't work.
We didn't have much interaction w/US Army personnel, 'tho I was also periodically designated to brief the Army Col. about our radar missions. We did have a running difference w/him about military customs (saluting)between the Army & Marines.
I rotated home in Dec., 1970. I left B'ham on 22 Dec., and stepped off the commercial NW Orient flight in Seattle, WA @ 2230, 24 Dec.
I have some B'ham pix if anyone is interested.

Hello, I'm hoping to find my father Richard Torres or any of his service records. He was a paratrooper 101st Airborne Div.
Fort Campbell 1960 -1964 is my guess. I was born the same year he graduated from high school 1960 and I think it was Dec.of 64 that crowds of people waited for the soldiers to land. I started school and never saw him again. Well that's my story and l'm sticking to it but I would like to at least be able to see his name or a photo the littlest bit of info means a great deal to me

Hello, I'm hoping to find my father Richard Torres or any of his service records. He was a paratrooper 101st Airborne Div.
Fort Campbell 1960 -1964 is my guess. I was born the same year he graduated from high school 1960 and I think it was Dec.of 64 that crowds of people waited for the soldiers to land. I started school and never saw him again. Well that's my story and l'm sticking to it but I would like to at least be able to see his name or a photo the littlest bit of info means a great deal to me
Respectfully

I transferred from the Big Red One to B Co. 2/327 2nd platoon in Jun 67. Started out in Alvarado's squad and started carrying one of the M60s when the gunner went back to rear for R&R; or something. Names I remember SGT Johnson, SGT Dolby, SGT Jacobs and a guy called Levering. McAfee and Cutler carried ammo for me until I was MedEvaced (to Camp Zama and to the states) during the CA in Aug 67. Ran into Dolby in An Khe in 68. Served with SSG Thompson in Germany early 80s.Sorry I didn;t stay long enough for anyone to know me.

Having never served myself, not a day goes by that I do not think of those that did. Meeting people like Yankee Jim and so many others in my daily activities, makes me truly aware of the sacrifices you guys have made to enable the rest of us to go simply enjoy what this country provides. We didn't earn it and we take it for granted. You guys paid a price in some way, shape, or form, and I thank you for it.

Hi, My name is Eric Murphy. I am the son of Gary L. Murphy cobat medic in 101st that was stationed at firebase Birmingham in 1960-1970. He didn't talk alot about it. But, when I got older and became a Paramedic my self he would answer a few questions. I was VERY proud of the fact he was a Vietnam Vet. and proud of his service to his country as well as every vet that was there. Even though he earned quite a few medles including bronze star and the Army Commendation Medal and others he never said much and kept them put up in mom's hope chest. I sure wish I could have learned more before he was killed on his Harley in 05/02/2000. Thank you to ALL that served in Vietnam and WELCOME HOME!!

RE: THE NOTES ON THE MONSOON/TYPHOON 1970 ... The sunken boat was a U.S. Army boat and it was the YFU 63, not the LCU 1563
" In the South China sea off Vietnam's coast on November 2, an American ship, LCU-1563, was fighting in the Vietnam War. It got caught in the bad weather from Patsy and capsized. At 10 am local time the next day, the ship was found and hauled ashore. All eleven men onboard perished. One man was discovered dead near Cu Lao Island on November 6. Drowning was the cause of his death. Nine of the men were never discovered, but were considered to have died of drowning. The men were all posthumously promoted to a higher rank and families of the dead received a higher level pension. Seven years later on March 16, 1977, another body was recovered. In addition, two gunboats from the former country of South Vietnam sank the same day to the south of LCU-1563's resting place. Death totals from them are not available."

My dad was in the Battle of the Bulge he was really proud of his medals he passed away on September 22, 2012. I remember as a kid when ever the movie came on we had to sit and watch it. Of course when we had to watch it. Now we understand what he went through. He was in 101st airborne Screaming Eagles. We are very proud of what he did.

Hi, My name is Eric Murphy. I am the son of Gary L. Murphy cobat medic in 101st that was stationed at firebase Birmingham in 1960-1970. He didn't talk alot about it. But, when I got older and became a Paramedic my self he would answer a few questions. I was VERY proud of the fact he was a Vietnam Vet. and proud of his service to his country as well as every vet that was there. Even though he earned quite a few medles including bronze star and the Army Commendation Medal and others he never said much and kept them put up in mom's hope chest. I sure wish I could have learned more before he was killed on his Harley in 05/02/2000. Thank you to ALL that served in Vietnam and WELCOME HOME!!

RE: THE NOTES ON THE MONSOON/TYPHOON 1970 ... The sunken boat was a U.S. Army boat and it was the YFU 63, not the LCU 1563
" In the South China sea off Vietnam's coast on November 2, an American ship, LCU-1563, was fighting in the Vietnam War. It got caught in the bad weather from Patsy and capsized. At 10 am local time the next day, the ship was found and hauled ashore. All eleven men onboard perished. One man was discovered dead near Cu Lao Island on November 6. Drowning was the cause of his death. Nine of the men were never discovered, but were considered to have died of drowning. The men were all posthumously promoted to a higher rank and families of the dead received a higher level pension. Seven years later on March 16, 1977, another body was recovered. In addition, two gunboats from the former country of South Vietnam sank the same day to the south of LCU-1563's resting place. Death totals from them are not available."

I cannot help reflect in the Sunset years of my life the privilege it was serve with ALL the men in Tiger Force through the spring and part of the Summer of 1966 (Dak To). The hard part for me was to return to the UK (from whence I sprung!) where I was welcomed as an underserving hero but to see how the returning Viet Vets were treated when they came back to the USA broke my heart and still does. Perhaps that is why I admire you ALL so much more. Unique among men. See you in the next life - May that be in Heaven !

327th veterans -- 327th REGIMENTAL Scholarship
________________________________________
As many of you are aware, 9 years ago the 101st Airborne Association was able to award only $2,000 in Scholarships to deserving dependents and children of Association Members. This year, thanks to the efforts of members of the 101st Airborne Division Association, some $46,000 in Scholarships were awarded to sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters of members of the Association.
At the 101st Association Reunion in Nashville this past August Rick Lencioni, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee while announcing the 2012 Scholarhip winners, threw down a gauntlet and challenged all the Regiments to consider starting a REGIMENTAL SCHOLARSHIP. The veterans of the 327th has answered by establishing the 327th Regimental Scholarship fund to provide $$ to be awarded as scholarships each year.
But, as with any new, good idea you have to start somewhere. Hence this note and request that you consider sending a donation to help get the ball rolling. No amount is too small; $5, $10, $20, $101 whatever. It will all help in starting a 327th Regimental Scholarship to be awarded in 2013.
Your donation should be made out to the Screaming Eagle Foundation care of the
327th Regimental Scholarship Fund to:
Screaming Eagle Foundation
327th Regimental Scholarship Fund
PO Box 929
Fort Campbell, KY 42223
Thanks in advance for any and all support.

I cannot help reflect in the Sunset years of my life the privilege it was serve with ALL the men in Tiger Force through the spring and part of the Summer of 1966 (Dak To). The hard part for me was to return to the UK (from whence I sprung!) where I was welcomed as an underserving hero but to see how the returning Viet Vets were treated when they came back to the USA broke my heart and still does. Perhaps that is why I admire you ALL so much more. Unique among men. See you in the next life - May that be in Heaven !

327th veterans -- 327th REGIMENTAL Scholarship
________________________________________
As many of you are aware, 9 years ago the 101st Airborne Association was able to award only $2,000 in Scholarships to deserving dependents and children of Association Members. This year, thanks to the efforts of members of the 101st Airborne Division Association, some $46,000 in Scholarships were awarded to sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters of members of the Association.
At the 101st Association Reunion in Nashville this past August Rick Lencioni, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee while announcing the 2012 Scholarhip winners, threw down a gauntlet and challenged all the Regiments to consider starting a REGIMENTAL SCHOLARSHIP. The veterans of the 327th has answered by establishing the 327th Regimental Scholarship fund to provide $$ to be awarded as scholarships each year.
But, as with any new, good idea you have to start somewhere. Hence this note and request that you consider sending a donation to help get the ball rolling. No amount is too small; $5, $10, $20, $101 whatever. It will all help in starting a 327th Regimental Scholarship to be awarded in 2013.
Your donation should be made out to the Screaming Eagle Foundation care of the
327th Regimental Scholarship Fund to:
Screaming Eagle Foundation
327th Regimental Scholarship Fund
PO Box 929
Fort Campbell, KY 42223
Thanks in advance for any and all support.

Mel Valentine's funeral is this morning (Saturday, 15 Sept 12)
He was a good friend and Brother in Arms, and I write this with a heavy heart. Mel was a decorated airborne infantry soldier for his country in the Vietnam War and a Warrior for the Lord. He served with Charlie Company, 2/327th infantry 101st Airborne Division, 67-68.
Our paths first crossed in the late 90's on the Internet and we have been friends since. We were some of the early veterans that saw the internet as a tool to find men we had served with in Vietnam. By chance and fate and other friends, we linked up and attended several 101st Airborne reunions. In his name, I hope to make a memorial donation to one of our favorite veteran websites, the . I think Mel would approve.
I find myself singing or humming the old gospel hymn "We'll meet you in the morning by the river by and by....". I think in heaven our paths will cross again and I bet he will be fishing at the river. He often encouraged me. Often he invited me to visit him and once I was able but not able to spend but a few hours at his and Linda's home.
To me and many others, Mel has one of my heroes. My life is richer because of him and his family.

Jimmy said he remembered me, but I could not picture him in my mind back when we were all in NAM. Jimmy also was in 4th Platoon when Lt. Mike Norris had the Platoon.I had time to just give Jimmy my Email Address that night. I wanted to talk to him so much more. I looked for him for the next two days , but couldn't find him ! I looked here on the 327th site on the ABU Troops Roster. I found him listed there with an Email Address listed as well as phone numbers. Tried them all trying to contact him, but they seem to be no good anymore ??? Jimmy if you are out there I would really love to make contact with you Brother ! You are the first Brother from 4th Platoon that I have seen that remembered me being called "Smitty" early on in my first Tour 67-69. My Email addy is:wildbill67@hotmail.com Home Phone is 623-582-5862, and Cell Phone is 623-693-1749. B J this goes for you also Brother. Would love to haer from you Again. Hey if you two see this.

Anyone know Jack Lee Ekster? He got in country Feb 67 and was with B Co 2/327th, No Slack Oct 27 when he was WIA and sent out. One hell of a battle I guess. He doesn't have much of a memory and has "NO Slack" tattooed on his leg.
