Alan,
served with C and D companies from Dec. 67 until Aug. 69.
Was one of the Peglegs that humped with you.
Was with C when we took the hill that became Veghel and later discovered the arti, anti aircraft guns and trucks.
Moved over to D company and was in Ashau in 69 when we took the atrillary fire on the floor of the valley. Will never forget that and our night march accross the valley. Was hit the next day as we started our way up the hill.
Contact me at billiewilliamsjr@hotmail.com in regards to the reunion. Was at Ft. Campbell last Aug. for a reunion. It was my first time seeing those old grunts in 40 years. What a great time.

I am searching for any information about Sp4 Michael Joseph Galbraith. Mike was KIA on 6/6/66 in the Kontum Province. By his assignment to A Co,1ST BN,327TH Infrantry,101ST ABN DIV,I am assuming he was a casulaty during Operation Hawthorne. Mike was my brothers best friend and like a big brother to me and I am interested in learning about his service in country as well as perpetuating his memory, so that he is always remebered long after we are gone. If anyone has any information with regard to Michael, and or pictures, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.I just submitted and see that Mike's picture was published on the 327th Memorial page as well as on the Virtual Wall, for which I am very thankful and appreciative. Mike was the first and only casualty from our small upstate NY town and so my "Class of 67" dedicated its yearbook to him, our school erected a monument stone on our athletic field in his memory and my brother along with the local veterans groups established a scholarship in his name which continues to this day.Now that we are all getting older and the younger generation knows little of the sacrifices of our 58,000 plus "Brothers in Arms", I want to do as much as possible to assure that Michael is never forgotten. Please help me if you can. Thanks, Jerry

I was at Phu Loc on 6-10-70 I was with the 326 Eng. C Co. They sent me out to supervise the clearing of the mine field at Phu Loc, I had a profile and was not able to work so I just watched them work, the workers were snipers that went out at night and just worked a couple of hours a day. I was at Tomahawk when we first got in country it was the first firebase we were sent to. We stayed with the guy in radar it was ground surveillance, we were there about a month or so and we got to know the radar guys. the one that was killed by the canister was form radar, that night I was sleeping in a huch by myself when I was woke up by the first round the hit Pho Luc I didn't know what it was I though it was the Duster 40mm that would fire at night, we would watch from Tomahawk a few month back, the second one I know what it was, there was someone screaming form the hoch next to me. I was sleeping on the floor of the hoch on a matters that i poled oven me and put on my boots and ran outside to see what was going on. They were pulling out someone form the hoch the mortar had blown is foot off and they were carrying in out and up to the command bunker, I started back into my hoch when one of the guys said where are you going, I said I'm going to get my stuff,he said forget it come on lets get out of here, I turned and ran behind him and started up the stairs about ten yards form my hoch when another incomming round landed on it, I stated running faster. When I got to the top of the stairs I looked back and the hoch was almost gone and on fire I had a 79 and a 45, the founds from the 79 were going off. I got to the command bunker and a Major was stand there and asked me where my weapon was and I pointed at the remains of the hoch, he said oh!, All I had was a helmet and underwear and boots. One of the incoming rounds hit a ammo bunker and set off some CS gas, my gas mask was in the hoch too. The next day the guys for radar came down to Pho Luc and told me the Stemmens got hit in the head with a canister. My LT came to pick me up at the same time. I returned to my company with my 79 and 45 in my helmet in pieces , that's all I could find. I still think about what if I would went for my things, wish I could remember the guys name that said lets get out of here! The radar guys were Henry Hilton, Stewart and Johnson I think, of cores god bless Stemmons. There's a lot more

Dear Association and Members,
25 years ago while serving as an E-4 with B co. 2/502 "strike force" I was informed by my SGT to pack my bags for a trip to Dover Delaware to
participate in a memorial service for the troops of the 327 Battalion.
As I sat here last night with a drink in hand, searching for photos and
news articles over the internet of that event in my life, I found your website.
although I do not recall hearing of your association during my time at Ft.
Campbell,(1983 thu 1986) I just wanted to drop a note and thank you for your
time and the services to our troops who so bravely defend the life for
which we should all be so greatful.
I enjoyed the photos on your site dedicated to the 327 as much as I do the list of
names for the many fallen soldiers in 1985 of which I knew prior to their departure to the Sinia.
May God bless their souls, and bring your orginization to prospire in the years to come.
"AIR ASSAULT"
Thank you ever so much,

I was at Phu Loc on 6-10-70 I was with the 326 Eng. C Co. They sent me out to supervise the clearing of the mine field at Phu Loc, I had a profile and was not able to work so I just watched them work, the workers were snipers that went out at night and just worked a couple of hours a day. I was at Tomahawk when we first got in country it was the first firebase we were sent to. We stayed with the guy in radar it was ground surveillance, we were there about a month or so and we got to know the radar guys. the one that was killed by the canister was form radar, that night I was sleeping in a huch by myself when I was woke up by the first round the hit Pho Luc I didn't know what it was I though it was the Duster 40mm that would fire at night, we would watch from Tomahawk a few month back, the second one I know what it was, there was someone screaming form the hoch next to me. I was sleeping on the floor of the hoch on a matters that i poled oven me and put on my boots and ran outside to see what was going on. They were pulling out someone form the hoch the mortar had blown is foot off and they were carrying in out and up to the command bunker, I started back into my hoch when one of the guys said where are you going, I said I'm going to get my stuff,he said forget it come on lets get out of here, I turned and ran behind him and started up the stairs about ten yards form my hoch when another incomming round landed on it, I stated running faster.

To the brother concerning the crash of a chinook in 71 before the 101 stood down or about that time.I remember a crash of the chinook where we lost 35 men. I served with must of those men and knew a black kid last name White from Texas I think who was pulled off at last minute due to over crowding.
I don't know where he went next but when the 101 stood down he may have left country then.
I hope that may be of help to you, if you want to talk futher I will be viewing this site from time to time so leave me a message.

June 10, 1970 attack on Tomahawk
Number one I would like to say this is a great website and thanks for letting me write. I was second shift leader in FDC for the 155 battery the night of the attack. We were actually a split battery of only three guns..we were split after a 10 day raid to FSB Pistol around the first of April..the other three were at FSB Arsenal at that time.I tend to agree with John Norman's recent post and an older one by Curtiss Wyman. Our KIA was caused by our own 81mm illum fire. As I recall we had about 6 wounded who were medivaced out right behind me stirring up dust right between the infantry and artillery area.Incoming to T-hawk was 82mm mortars, RPG's and small arms. I have onion skin copy of letter sent out 3 days later that says 21 enemy soldiers killed, 3 captured, although we found many more bodies later beyond the wire in the weeds. I later found out that we were attacked by a battalion sized unit of NVA sappers, on FSB Los Banos, T'hawk and Phu Loc at the same time.At the time of the attack their may have been 50 of us total on the base, counting infantry and artillery, and that might me a stretch. Capt. Cox saved our lives as Curtiss stated. Engineers came in next morning and exploded about 500 lbs of satchel charges from the bodies..we also captured 3 RPG's.9 ak's with folding stocks, 2 9mm chicom revolvers and one belt buckle with red star

Delta was a dedicated BN in Phu Loc, ambushing had not been in the Ashu before T-Hawk. Half of my platoon was on T-Hawk, I was at the bottom of hill with the rest of my platoon. 155's can't fire illumination straight up, round probably came from FSB Roy 105. No Colonels bunker, no bunkers destroyed, no 122 rockets fired at T-Hawk. Attack was by NVA Sapper BN not VC.

Over the last decade, I have met and interviewed scores of World War II combat veterans. With rare exception, these men never discussed or shared their experiences with their families. Their reasoning was simple - nobody who didn't experience what they had could understand; so they said little or nothing.
Most of their children, now in their fifties and sixties, wish those experiences had been shared. For the vast majority, it is too late, but not for another important exchange to occur - one with their fellow sons and daughters of this Greatest Generation. I am creating a publication whereby you can share your memories of these veterans with each other.
If you are interested, please let me know.

I was the artillery forward observer for Bravo Company, 1/327th from March to August 1968. My nickname was Magoo. I have just posted (with the help of David J.) four pages of photos of that period under the Bravo Company link. Although a lot of the photos are Bravo Company specific, many pertain to the 1/327th as a whole as they include photos of FSBs Birmingham, Veghel, Bertschegaden and Operations Delaware and Nevada Eagle. They're posted under "Vietnam-1st Battalion-Companies-Brave Rifle Troops-Jim Kuhlman." Regards.

To the brother concerning the crash of a chinook in 71 before the 101 stood down or about that time.I remember a crash of the chinook where we lost 35 men. I served with must of those men and knew a black kid last name White from Texas I think who was pulled off at last minute due to over crowding.
I don't know where he went next but when the 101 stood down he may have left country then.
I hope that may be of help to you, if you want to talk futher I will be viewing this site from time to time so leave me a message.

June 10, 1970 attack on Tomahawk
Number one I would like to say this is a great website and thanks for letting me write. I was second shift leader in FDC for the 155 battery the night of the attack. We were actually a split battery of only three guns..we were split after a 10 day raid to FSB Pistol around the first of April..the other three were at FSB Arsenal at that time.I tend to agree with John Norman's recent post and an older one by Curtiss Wyman. Our KIA was caused by our own 81mm illum fire. As I recall we had about 6 wounded who were medivaced out right behind me stirring up dust right between the infantry and artillery area.Incoming to T-hawk was 82mm mortars, RPG's and small arms. I have onion skin copy of letter sent out 3 days later that says 21 enemy soldiers killed, 3 captured, although we found many more bodies later beyond the wire in the weeds. I later found out that we were attacked by a battalion sized unit of NVA sappers, on FSB Los Banos, T'hawk and Phu Loc at the same time.At the time of the attack their may have been 50 of us total on the base, counting infantry and artillery, and that might me a stretch. Capt. Cox saved our lives as Curtiss stated. Engineers came in next morning and exploded about 500 lbs of satchel charges from the bodies..we also captured 3 RPG's.9 ak's with folding stocks, 2 9mm chicom revolvers and one belt buckle with red star

I was sitting here in my living room and just had this sudden urge to try and connect with my brother who was killed Viet Nam on 6-8-1967. Imagine the look on my face when I did a Yahoo search for THOMAS L HOENIGES and find your website with his picture up! Thank you so much! I was only 10 when my brother was taken from all of us - so if any one out there has stories that they can tell me about him I would greatly appreciate it. I have all the family and friends stories but very few of him being in Viet Nam. This could really help me with the final stages of healing from our loss. Thank you to all who read this.........Georgia

Dear sir,
My name is Theodore E Arnold ( Bud ). You may have known my father MSgt Ted Arnold.
I'm sitting here looking at a box of photos taken of members of the 327 between 1966 and 1967.The desciption on the back of this particular photo lists you and Lt Whalen. Our family is trying to put together the events and actions surrounding the engagement at Trung Luong. We came upon the 327 web site and your account of those treacherous days in 1966. Any help you might give us in reconstructing those days would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

I am looking for some of the 37+ Lieutenants who came together at FT Benning in the Fall 1968. We were designated as replacements to the 101st Airborne, Vietnam. As a group, we went through Jump School at Ft Benning, then Jungle School in Panama, then P-Training at Bien Hoa, then sent to the various division units. I think each battalion got 3-4 of us. I went to the 2/327th Infantry along with Gene Lee and Harold Ozzy MacCaughy. Since our DEROS dates were the same, many of us came together again at the end of our tours.
I am looking for any of the men of this group of replacements or anybody else who might have known me. I am originally from Lincoln, Nebraska.
No Slack,

I just ran into this site by surfing. A Co. 2/327th Infantry was my home. I will never forget that place for as long as I live. A "Band Of Brothers" we were, from 1989 to 1993. "BOS" Brothers Of Struggle is what they called us. All from different places in the states but there for one cause. Let's see - Bailey, Senior, Taylor, Ross, A. Jones, Hardridge "Rabbit", Lizana, King and myself J. Jones. I made a shirt that displays the "Eagles" on each shoulder and I wear it quite often. I work here at the VAMC in Jackson, MS and I'm always called "Screeming Eagle" by the vets when I wear my shirt. That was the happiest time of my life. Also, if anyone can assist me in getting my medals, please do.

I found your site thanks to a friend of mine who was an FO with the 327th. I was most interested to read about the Christmas Eve Accident. I was the medic with Alpha battery that night. I was helping with the fire mission that night as I always tried to help the guys when ever I could. All of these years and I really didn't know what happened. Christmas has been hard for me, but at least you answered alot of questions. Thanks

I was sitting here in my living room and just had this sudden urge to try and connect with my brother who was killed Viet Nam on 6-8-1967. Imagine the look on my face when I did a Yahoo search for THOMAS L HOENIGES and find your website with his picture up! Thank you so much! I was only 10 when my brother was taken from all of us - so if any one out there has stories that they can tell me about him I would greatly appreciate it. I have all the family and friends stories but very few of him being in Viet Nam. This could really help me with the final stages of healing from our loss. Thank you to all who read this.........Georgia

Dear sir,
My name is Theodore E Arnold ( Bud ). You may have known my father MSgt Ted Arnold.
I'm sitting here looking at a box of photos taken of members of the 327 between 1966 and 1967.The desciption on the back of this particular photo lists you and Lt Whalen. Our family is trying to put together the events and actions surrounding the engagement at Trung Luong. We came upon the 327 web site and your account of those treacherous days in 1966. Any help you might give us in reconstructing those days would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bud Arnold

I am looking for some of the 37+ Lieutenants who came together at FT Benning in the Fall 1968. We were designated as replacements to the 101st Airborne, Vietnam. As a group, we went through Jump School at Ft Benning, then Jungle School in Panama, then P-Training at Bien Hoa, then sent to the various division units. I think each battalion got 3-4 of us. I went to the 2/327th Infantry along with Gene Lee and Harold Ozzy MacCaughy. Since our DEROS dates were the same, many of us came together again at the end of our tours.
I am looking for any of the men of this group of replacements or anybody else who might have known me. I am originally from Lincoln, Nebraska.
No Slack,

I just ran into this site by surfing. A Co. 2/327th Infantry was my home. I will never forget that place for as long as I live. A "Band Of Brothers" we were, from 1989 to 1993. "BOS" Brothers Of Struggle is what they called us. All from different places in the states but there for one cause. Let's see - Bailey, Senior, Taylor, Ross, A. Jones, Hardridge "Rabbit", Lizana, King and myself J. Jones. I made a shirt that displays the "Eagles" on each shoulder and I wear it quite often. I work here at the VAMC in Jackson, MS and I'm always called "Screeming Eagle" by the vets when I wear my shirt. That was the happiest time of my life. Also, if anyone can assist me in getting my medals, please do.

Airborne All the #%$@ Way!! A wonderful website, thank you very much. Reading the guestbook has drawn a lot of emotion out of me. I served a year at Ft Campbell 66-67 A 1/502(Jerome Morgan(JP), Dan Clint, Melvin, and so many other paratroopers. then 2nd platoon A 1/327 June 67-68 and it is good to see so many airborne brothers doing well, Zero, Evans, Clint, I remember all of you. Garcia, remember we saw each other at Ft Bragg with Jones and who was the other brother?. You got shot in the same place in the legs I did back in Chu Lai in August 67, you were 20Bravo Oscar in SongBe, horrible place, we lost to many brothers there. I remember when we went into the Ashau in April, our old 2nd platoon leader (Lt Lawrie) was B company commander and how he led the charge up the hill and got shot. Did you all know our Bn CO, Colonel Sydnor was the man that led the rescue of POW's into North Vietnam? I finally went to a reunion 4 or 5 years ago, at the Ghostriders's (Col. Morse's another great leader) urging, and I am very glad I did, and would recommend all vets attend at least one. Yogi bear you pierced my ear (and a bunch of others) in Phu Bai around June 68, you know we took care of all the medics....I have the 2nd platon picture in my cubicle at work a reminder to all what sacrifice truly is. Airborne all the way. To all the current troopers, protect yourself and thank you for your service, you are special. For all combat veterans, PTSD is real, I was lucky, had three years at the vet center with Dr. Covi (1st Infantry) who helped me and others, war is hell and there is no shame to seek help. Airborne all the Way, will be posting some pictures soon.

I served a year at Ft Campbell 66-67 A 1/502(Jerome Morgan(JP), Dan Clint, Melvin, and so many other paratroopers. then 2nd platoon A 1/327 June 67-68 and it is good to see so many airborne brothers doing well, Zero, Evans, Clint, I remember all of you. Garcia, remember we saw each other at Ft Bragg with Jones and who was the other brother?. You got shot in the same place in the legs I did back in Chu Lai in August 67, you were 20Bravo Oscar in SongBe, horrible place, we lost to many brothers there. I remember when we went into the Ashau in April, our old 2nd platoon leader (Lt Lawrie) was B company commander and how he led the charge up the hill and got shot. Did you all know our Bn CO, Colonel Sydnor was the man that led the rescue of POW's into North Vietnam? I finally went to a reunion 4 or 5 years ago, at the Ghostriders's (Col. Morse's another great leader) urging, and I am very glad I did, and would recommend all vets attend at least one. Yogi bear you pierced my ear (and a bunch of others) in Phu Bai around June 68, you know we took care of all the medics....I have the 2nd platon picture in my cubicle at work a reminder to all what sacrifice truly is. Airborne all the way. To all the current troopers, protect yourself and thank you for your service, you are special. For all combat veterans, PTSD is real, I was lucky, had three years at the vet center with Dr. Covi (1st Infantry) who helped me and others, war is hell and there is no shame to seek help. Airborne all the Way, will be posting some pictures soon.

Update on the entry I made on 10 Nov, 2009 about Ed Haak. I was looking through some old orders and found the set that assigned Ed and myself to the 327th. We were with the 327th from Feb, 1970 until Dec 1970. I went to Bravo 2/327 and Ed went to Cobra 1/327. If any Cobras from 1970 remember Ed and would like to make contact with him, send me an e-mail and I will give you his contact info.

One of my RTO's got schrapnel in his right shoulder and right butt cheek. We both spent the night at 326 MED along with a lot of other guys.
CID talked to everyone who was in the club, but I never heard the outcome of their investigation. I left for the World about a week later.

It is with a heavy heart and much sorrow,that I advise of the passing of Charles "Chuck" McIver. Chuck was a member of the "Hawk-Platoon" and served with much honor and valor. I had the honor of serving with him for much of my 1st tour. Chuck passed away on the night of 11-29-09 after a short bout with cancer. The memorial was attended by many, fellow 'Hawks" were their to say good-bye. J.B. Moorehouse and I attended and said a few words for all-Hawks who were with him. Chuck will be missed by all. Please keep Chuck and Sharon in your prayers. God Bless,stay safe.

Forty-one years ago this week (Dec '68) I was medivaced from Co B,2/327th. I was always a cherry! Finished my tour as a DI at Ft. Ord; on weekends I often traveled into SF to see rock greats at the Fillmore, or Led Zepelin at Winterland, and Ike and Tina with the Rolling Stones in Oakland Coliseum. Word came from the top not to use "Lulu" marching songs because they were offensive to women. I replaced Lulu with Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance". There was never as much esprit de corps with "Peace" as there was with "I Want To Be An Airborne Ranger"! NFS

I happened upon Ted McCormack's story after searching for info. on Hill 882. A show on the military channel made me research the battle I served with 1st Plt.Company B, 1/327th. I arrived on Hill 882 new(less than a week) in country sometime in May. I had forgotten most of the names of buddies, unit # etc. until I read his story. The only names I remembered was Erick's, Ed's and Forrest, and then Capt. Terrible Terry and Lt. Shultz when I read the story.
I recall most of his story about the battle on 882 in that May. A lot of it was a daze for me since I arrived with some other new replacements for the unit. It's amazing how now I recall some other names, details etc. I was in country with the unit until early February 1971.
As a "shake and Bake" NCO I later became squad leader(not sure which squad) and even platoon sgt. for several weeks because we had no E-6's or E-7's for a time. I had no problem remembering a lot of the events and faces but names seemed to escape me. I hope to hear from anyone who served during that time. I have not done a lot of research regarding exact dates but intend on finding out a lot more in the coming weeks.

4o years ago this Thanksgiving I had turkey at a mess hall in Bien Hua, then again on the airplane over the ocean. I arrived at Travis around 7 or 8 PM, called a buddie and he came and picked me up. He drove me to my folks house and surprised everyone. Had turkey dinner again before midnight. So three times in one day, three different places in the world. The previous week my mother had someone (my buddies) take her to Travis to watch every plane land, my flight was the first she had missed.
I pray all is well with all of my platoon and company members and all that I met and knew in the military.

HI Guys and Gals-I have helped many Vietan vets to reenter life after Nam. It is a bitch. A vet taught me that people don't care and don't understand. Don't expect them to. They can't as they have not lived, loved and lost. If they want to hear don't turn them off. It is a start.

Dear Brothers and Sister of the Guest Book
Some of you men knew No Slack Delta Tom Hempel who was KIA'd off FSB Los Banos on 15 July 1969. Tom and I were from the same hometown, Lincoln, Nebraska and we talked about home and looking each other up after Vietnam. He was killed two weeks before his DEROS.
Years later I wrote a story about Tom Hempel and through this story, I met his hometown girlfriend whom he wrote while he was in the service. Her name was Sharon Bremer, who eventually married and kept the married name DeNino. Tom was high school Class of '65 and she was Class of '68. Both went to Northeast High School in Lincoln. I was Class of 65 and went to Lincoln High School so I did not know either until later.
Sharon saved his letters which developed into love letters. She shared them with me and they are very moving. She was devistated with his death.
I learned today that Sharon (Bremer) DeNino, age 59, passed on 31 May 09. She had been a mental health counselor in the Lincoln and Hastings Nebraska areas for her career. I knew she had literally dropped out of site but I was not aware that it was caused by her death. I have been unable to learn anything about the cause of death.
I have an ongoing project to gather additional information to add to / rewrite the Tribute to Thomas Hempel. Any additional info or comments about Tom Hempel and/or Sharon Bremer DeNino, I would appreciate. Over the years, some of you have given me information for the rewrite and I have filed it away. I have reached a point in my life where I am writing again.
Sharon had become a friend and encourager to me. I hope to talk to her sons, family and business associates as I do the Hempel rewrite. I have lost a friend.
Honor and Country

I recently went to my 1st reunion on Sept 26th in Orlando for Vietnam veterns from the 101th. Out of the 60 so that was there only 7 were from the 1/327th & 2/327th. I would like know went there are reunions for the 1/327th in the future.
I was with Delta Co. 1/327th from April 68 to Sept 68. Sgt Herman saved me more than once.
I was slightly wounded on Aug 15th when He came to my rescue then he was wounded and that was the last time I saw him. This was on Hill 1100 out of A Shau Valley. After this mission there was only
22 of us left out of the Company. Two weeks later when we were reloaded with cherrys I was hit with an RPG round on Aug 29th 1968. I was at 3 different hospitals in Vietnam then was sent to Tokeyo. Thanks "Above the Rest"

Veterans, Male or Female: Divorce sometimes happens, ask me..... Liberal lawyers are after you. Here is the latest info from the RAO Bulletin to help you or YOUR lawyer protect your retirement/entitlement from garnishment. Keep the benefits you earned.
Erick W. Miller
1st 327th INF
RVN 69-70
USFSPA & Divorce Update 10: A bill to protect California disabled veteran's disability compensation from illegal attachment and garnishments was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger on 11 OCT 09. The bill (SB.285), authored by California Senator Rod Wright, was introduced at the request of the California Alliance for Families and Children (CAFC) in cooperation with the American Retirees Association (ARA). It codifies existing federal law, United States Code, Title 38, Section 5301 into the state's statutes to assure it is followed in California state courts. Although federal law is very clear in its wording and intent, civil court judges nationwide have routinely ignored it. The result has been illegal attachments and garnishments of the disability compensation and erroneously calculating veterans' disability compensation into divorce settlements as a divisible asset or income. SB 285 passed California legislature without a single no vote, even though similar efforts in Iowa, West Virginia and Oklahoma have failed so far. Of significance, this new state law provides precedent for all other states to follow and enact similar additional safeguards for their disabled veterans. Also, it can be a precursor for state legislation to modify state divorce laws to protect garnishments for USFSPA as is underway in Oklahoma with H.B.1053. CAFC announced they have already received commitments from legislators in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to follow the California lead.
Retirees who are impacted by the Uniformed Services Former Spouses� Protection Act (USFSPA) and/or concerned about protecting their disability compensation concerns should be aware of the USFSPA Liberation Support Group (ULSG). Their mission is to support the rights of all service members active-duty/retired/ Guard & Reserve military members, Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in challenging the USFSPA, Pub.

Dear Miss Lokey,
I am the individual who posted the account of the sad incident in which Udon was taken from us. I was saddened to hear your first report that he had no family that could be contacted. Now to hear you have found his family, and especially his 91 year old mother; is a joy to hear.
My mother is 92 and closure is what it all about at that age. Mothers who live to such a beautiful advanced age; have such wisdom and grace. I strongly suspect that Udon's pleasant manner, smile, and the look of acceptance on his face when he knew his situation was perilous; was from his Mom.
I am looking through some pictures that have survived the ravages of time and a life that has had many turns. I have two which could be Udon; but I would want to be sure before I shared them with his family. If you have obtained a picture from his family and would be able to share it; that would wonderful.
Thank you for all your work to bring them home. Udon has been at home in my heart for the past 43 years. If my sharing that connection has brought some measure of closure for his family then Undon and I have completed our long range mission.
Jim W

Was at Camp Eagle, and was a forward observer. I also seem to remember a black Sgt. nicknamed Soupy Sales who was with the 1/83 arty. I don't remember a lot, and would like help remembering, and hooking up with the guys I served with. Trying to work on a VA rating and anything that any of you remember would help.

Dear Brothers and Sister of the Guest Book
Some of you men knew No Slack Delta Tom Hempel who was KIA'd off FSB Los Banos on 15 July 1969. Tom and I were from the same hometown, Lincoln, Nebraska and we talked about home and looking each other up after Vietnam. He was killed two weeks before his DEROS.
Years later I wrote a story about Tom Hempel and through this story, I met his hometown girlfriend whom he wrote while he was in the service. Her name was Sharon Bremer, who eventually married and kept the married name DeNino. Tom was high school Class of '65 and she was Class of '68. Both went to Northeast High School in Lincoln. I was Class of 65 and went to Lincoln High School so I did not know either until later.
Sharon saved his letters which developed into love letters. She shared them with me and they are very moving. She was devistated with his death.
I learned today that Sharon (Bremer) DeNino, age 59, passed on 31 May 09. She had been a mental health counselor in the Lincoln and Hastings Nebraska areas for her career. I knew she had literally dropped out of site but I was not aware that it was caused by her death. I have been unable to learn anything about the cause of death.
I have an ongoing project to gather additional information to add to / rewrite the Tribute to Thomas Hempel. Any additional info or comments about Tom Hempel and/or Sharon Bremer DeNino, I would appreciate. Over the years, some of you have given me information for the rewrite and I have filed it away. I have reached a point in my life where I am writing again.
Sharon had become a friend and encourager to me. I hope to talk to her sons, family and business associates as I do the Hempel rewrite. I have lost a friend.
Honor and Country

I was with Delta Co. 1/327th from April 68 to Sept 68. Sgt Herman saved me more than once.
I was slightly wounded on Aug 15th when He came to my rescue then he was wounded and that was the last time I saw him. This was on Hill 1100 out of A Shau Valley. After this mission there was only
22 of us left out of the Company. Two weeks later when we were reloaded with cherrys I was hit with an RPG round on Aug 29th 1968. I was at 3 different hospitals in Vietnam then was sent to Tokeyo. Thanks "Above the Rest"

FYI: This is a very informative website. Keep up the great work. Also, if any veteran is looking for "inside secrets" to benefits and compensation please visit http://www.veteranprograms.com/id1070.html. The website is the most comprehensive stop on the Internet. Veterans can learn everything they need to know about getting what they have earned. The website also lists VSOs who will help veterans.

Veterans, Male or Female: Divorce sometimes happens, ask me..... Liberal lawyers are after you. Here is the latest info from the RAO Bulletin to help you or YOUR lawyer protect your retirement/entitlement from garnishment. Keep the benefits you earned.

RVN 69-70
USFSPA & Divorce Update 10: A bill to protect California disabled veteran's disability compensation from illegal attachment and garnishments was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger on 11 OCT 09. The bill (SB.285), authored by California Senator Rod Wright, was introduced at the request of the California Alliance for Families and Children (CAFC) in cooperation with the American Retirees Association (ARA). It codifies existing federal law, United States Code, Title 38, Section 5301 into the state's statutes to assure it is followed in California state courts. Although federal law is very clear in its wording and intent, civil court judges nationwide have routinely ignored it. The result has been illegal attachments and garnishments of the disability compensation and erroneously calculating veterans' disability compensation into divorce settlements as a divisible asset or income. SB 285 passed California legislature without a single no vote, even though similar efforts in Iowa, West Virginia and Oklahoma have failed so far. Of significance, this new state law provides precedent for all other states to follow and enact similar additional safeguards for their disabled veterans. Also, it can be a precursor for state legislation to modify state divorce laws to protect garnishments for USFSPA as is underway in Oklahoma with H.B.1053. CAFC announced they have already received commitments from legislators in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to follow the California lead.
Retirees who are impacted by the Uniformed Services Former Spouses� Protection Act (USFSPA) and/or concerned about protecting their disability compensation concerns should be aware of the USFSPA Liberation Support Group (ULSG). Their mission is to support the rights of all service members active-duty/retired/ Guard & Reserve military members, Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in challenging the USFSPA, Pub. L. No. 97-252, 96 Stat. 730 (1982), currently codified as amended at 10 U.S.C. § 1408. This law, hastily passed by our Congress without forethought and little discussion, invalidated the United States Supreme Court's 1981 majority 6-3 ruling (McCARTY v. McCARTY , 453 U.S. 210 1981) that asserted military retirement/retainer pay is not subject to division as common property in state divorce proceedings. ULSG challenges the USFSPA in our courts system, strongly urges the US Congress of the United States to repeal this unjust law, and informs the Media to overcome this injustice to all service men and woman who unselfishly have served their country and have earned the sole right to their retainer/retired pay vice being treated as common property during divorce.

I don't remember a lot, and would like help remembering, and hooking up with the guys I served with. Trying to work on a VA rating and anything that any of you remember would help.
Thanks
Gary

On September 17th, I posted a request for information about Udon Parker. I have since been in contact with his family. His mother is 91 years old. It was a comfort to them to know that Udon was remembered by those he served with.
I thank you all for sharing your memories and for caring.

Just read the "More from Tiffany" blog in which she arbitrarily decided to omit Infantry from the 327th Infantry Regiment. I am annoyed by this action. I am still very proud to have have served with the 1st Battalion of the 327th Infantry July 11,'67 to July 11,'68 as a "boony rat". I feel she has broken the link between the past and the present by this omission. She should have studied the storied past of the 327th Infantry Regiment during WW11 and the Vietnam War instead of falling for political correctness. God Bless our brave men and women in harm's way. I thank you for your service.

Dear Miss Lokey; Imagine how surprised I was to see your posting when I realized I was standing about twenty feet from Parker when we lost him. He was a tall friendly young man who's wide smile always made one grin inside.
That morning was so surreal. We were working our way up a steep canyon. Very narrow at the base where the river was. We were close to the top of the ridge which was the source of the river we were following. We were moving towards a platoon size ambush position. We were the 1st platoon of B Co. 1st 327 Inf.
Being at the headwaters of the this river made us feel like Alice in wonderland. The vegetation was humongous. The wild elephant trails turned into giant steps when they headed up the mountain. You had to climb up one step at a time. The steps being about 30 inches high, and any number of inches deep depending on the incline of the mountain. The headwaters came gushing out of a solid rock wall as though a giant had turned on a spicket. The water cascaded down in monstrous leaps from one pool to another.
The Platoon Sgt. Passed the word on to take a break and fill your canteens because we would be in the ambush position for as many as three days without water resupply. You had to practically put your mouth right on another man's ear to be heard. The word was past on. I was standing behind three guys where it was easy and safe to dip our canteens. I looked to my left, looking over where Parker was. The further you were away from the water, the greater the incline so I was about half as high as the falls where Parker was. We were filling canteens from the third pool below the head waters. Right next to the third falls Parker being held by another trooper with one hand on his LBE (Low Bearing Equipment) as he leaned over into the falls. The sound of the seven falls within a quarter mile; was thunderous. I could see the arms of those half way between Parker and I waving in the air in alarm. I kept watching in Parker's direction thinking; what going on? They were trying to warn Parker of the danger in the falls.
Everything seem to shift into slow motion as though you know something terrible is about to happen, and there is nothing you can do about it. Parker put his hand holding the canteen into the foam of the falls and it was as though it began to pull him in. The trooper holding him let go and broke his fall at the last second, nearly following Parker into the falls. Parker was spun over on his back on top of the foam as though the water was solid and now he was riding the foamy torrent down the falls. Parker had a canteen in one hand and his rifle in the other. His out stretched arms as he went over the falls gave him the sacrificial and resigned look of a martyr. Parker plunged disappearing into the pool below.
The tranquil look of the pool with leaves slowly floating around seem to say Parker will suddenly pop up and we will all have a good laugh. After several minutes nothing surfaced. Then Parker's canteen pop up on the far side of the pool. Several men started to twist commo wire together, and then tied it around the waste of the trooper who had been holding on to Parker. The Lt. stepped forward and had to forcibly stopped the men trying to go after Parker. The Lt. then threw a log the size of a man into the pool. It disappeared immediately. We waited until we began to doubt that a log had been thrown in. Suddenly the log shot up like a submarine surfacing, and careened over the next falls. All attempts to jump into the pool after Parker ceased.
The Lt. broke radio silence and reported the loss. The mission was put on hold for two days while ropes and equipment were sent out and all attempts were made to recover Parker. There was a twenty four hour watch on the falls and down stream for his body. It never happened. It was a hard day when we had to leave Parker behind. His canteen bobbled in the little cove where it had popped up when Parker did not surface. A sad marker that we not only loss a brother; but had to leave him behind.
Every conversation about Parker after that was always punctuated with "Can you believe they have listed him as MIA as though he may still be alive out there somewhere".
Miss Lokey, thank you for doing what should have been done forty-three years ago. PS. Did I mention he was a handsome Black man.

Dear Miss Lokey; Imagine how surprised I was to see your posting when I realized I was standing about twenty feet from Parker when we lost him. He was a tall friendly young man who's wide smile always made one grin inside.
That morning was so surreal. We were working our way up a steep canyon. Very narrow at the base where the river was. We were close to the top of the ridge which was the source of the river we were following. We were moving towards a platoon size ambush position. We were the 1st platoon of B Co. 1st 327 Inf.
Being at the headwaters of the this river made us feel like Alice in wonderland. The vegetation was humongous. The wild elephant trails turned into giant steps when they headed up the mountain. You had to climb up one step at a time. The steps being about 30 inches high, and any number of inches deep depending on the incline of the mountain. The headwaters came gushing out of a solid rock wall as though a giant had turned on a spicket. The water cascaded down in monstrous leaps from one pool to another.
The Platoon Sgt. Passed the word on to take a break and fill your canteens because we would be in the ambush position for as many as three days without water resupply. You had to practically put your mouth right on another man's ear to be heard. The word was past on. I was standing behind three guys where it was easy and safe to dip our canteens.

We were filling canteens from the third pool below the head waters. Right next to the third falls Parker being held by another trooper with one hand on his LBE (Low Bearing Equipment) as he leaned over into the falls. The sound of the seven falls within a quarter mile; was thunderous. I could see the arms of those half way between Parker and I waving in the air in alarm. I kept watching in Parker's direction thinking; what going on? They were trying to warn Parker of the danger in the falls.
Everything seem to shift into slow motion as though you know something terrible is about to happen, and there is nothing you can do about it. Parker put his hand holding the canteen into the foam of the falls and it was as though it began to pull him in. The trooper holding him let go and broke his fall at the last second, nearly following Parker into the falls. Parker was spun over on his back on top of the foam as though the water was solid and now he was riding the foamy torrent down the falls. Parker had a canteen in one hand and his rifle in the other. His out stretched arms as he went over the falls gave him the sacrificial and resigned look of a martyr. Parker plunged disappearing into the pool below.
The tranquil look of the pool with leaves slowly floating around seem to say Parker will suddenly pop up and we will all have a good laugh. After several minutes nothing surfaced. Then Parker's canteen pop up on the far side of the pool. Several men started to twist commo wire together, and then tied it around the waste of the trooper who had been holding on to Parker. The Lt. stepped forward and had to forcibly stopped the men trying to go after Parker. The Lt. then threw a log the size of a man into the pool. It disappeared immediately. We waited until we began to doubt that a log had been thrown in. Suddenly the log shot up like a submarine surfacing, and careened over the next falls. All attempts to jump into the pool after Parker ceased.
The Lt. broke radio silence and reported the loss. The mission was put on hold for two days while ropes and equipment were sent out and all attempts were made to recover Parker. There was a twenty four hour watch on the falls and down stream for his body. It never happened. It was a hard day when we had to leave Parker behind. His canteen bobbled in the little cove where it had popped up when Parker did not surface. A sad marker that we not only loss a brother; but had to leave him behind.
Every conversation about Parker after that was always punctuated with "Can you believe they have listed him as MIA as though he may still be alive out there somewhere".

My great uncle, Harley "Lee" Forbes, was killed in action on April 9, 1945. My understanding is that he drowned in the Rhine River while transporting prisoners across. I am looking for anyone who might have known him and who knows what happened on that day. He was from North Carolina... enlisted through Fort Bragg... had been in a little less than a year when he died... and was in Co. A 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

Just came back from the 64th reunion. It was a disappointing event. Few fellow persons from the time I served in VN and many are still looking like they are in the field. One guy was even smoking marijuana. Last time I'll attend unless I can find old friends
