I saw the WWII picture of General Eisenhower in the Austin Statesman and was stunned. My father is the soldier wearing a helmet behind the general holding a box. We figure its a camera. He drove trucks and jeeps in the support team that followed the general. My father passed away in 2002. We have his dress uniform and pictures he took during his tour of duty with Ike. Seeing this picture puts all of the pictures we have in context.
Thank you.

Hi,

My father's great uncle (John Shumbris) served in WWI, in the 327th, Co K, and was killed in action on 10 Oct, 1918 and is buried in Meuse-Argonne, France. Can someone tell me where the best place is to get a copy of his military papers?

Thanks,
Donna Shumbris Mason

"D" 2/327th NO SLACK being the first to report back from the Reunion held in Branson,Mo this past week. I was able to meet up with 5 buddies after 35 years and had a great time at OPERATION HOMECOMING. The people in Branson, Mo really know how to treat Vets which I would like to extend my appreciation for. While staying at the Ramada Inn the LRRP's had a hospitality room which the shared with all. It turned out to be a great meeting place and we even had the chance to meet some LRRP's back from Irag. A great bunch of young solders who made us proud. Just wanted to be the first to check in, everyone keep writing. TIM From NO SLACK

Hello. What a great site this is! I am hopping that someone will be able to help me find some information about my Grandfather. He was with the 82 Division in World War One. We know he was with an infantry regiment, and therefore, he could have been attached to the 325,326,327 or the 328 Infantry Reg. I did not find his name on your list- but perhaps he was in Company A, and having the name Barry, perhaps it is missing. We are sure he was one Reg. different from Sgt. York, but I have confilicting info on which Reg. he was in. Might anyone know of other souces like yours to find out info on these Regiments? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

First Sgt McDonald-TOP,
Thanks for sending the information about my parachute injury in VN to the Static Line to be entered in the 327th Infantry column and my request for help. I was really surprized and impressed that you did that for me. Just to make the details more correct for those who didn't see the column: After jump school at Ft Benning I was assigned to "C" company, "Cold Steel Cobras" 1st Bn, 327th Inf at Ft Campbell, which was in about Oct. 1963...I believe that you were First Sgt. at that time. A couple of months later the Brigade was put on alert for the Dominican Republic and the Battalion was locked down in the barracks. During the alert my soon to be father-in-law pulled strings to allow me to go home on leave to get married. He was a retired Full Bird Colonel still active in the Judge Advocate Department of the Army. Shortly after I returned I was transferred to Hq. Co. I don't know how or why that happened...but oh well! To make a long story short...before I joined the army I attended an art school. 1st. Sgt Leo B. Smith saw some of my art work in my portfolio, the next thing I knew I was painting a Roman Battle scene mural on Captain Shevlins office wall. When I had completed that project I found my self working at Battalion Hq. in S-3 as Battalion draftsman.

Just a note; When I was given that job I took it over from a guy who went back to "C" Co. If I remember right he was one of our first friendly fire casualties in Vietnam, killed by either artillery or air support.

Now to get back to the help I need; a VA claim that I have submitted for back problems that I am suffering with now. After our boat ride to Vietnam in '65 and some time about the end of August, first of September, I injured my low back on a parachute jump from a C-119. It turned out to be a windy day and after I exited the air craft I hit the ground in a backwards motion...you know? Heels, butt, back and head. The DZ commander came running up to see if I was alright, I told him I thought my back was broken...but I could get up. I went to a hospital, may be in Cam Rahn Bay because that's where we were located at the time. Technicians took exrays and told me I had chipped my tail bone, injured my low back and they couldn't do anything for me. So I went back to work. I need to know what hospital or infirmary? It could have been our Brigade support unit? Who was the DZ commander? Or anyone who remembers me getting injured on that jump that can say so in a letter as evidence for my claim. I remember that the clinic that I went to was in an older Vietnamese bldg. possibly two story. There is nothing in my medical records about it. I don't know if it would be on a morning report...because i didn't go on sick call, I just went to the hospital.

By the way, Jerry Aggson I see that you add an entry to this guest book every once in a while. I don't remember if you were on that jump or not, but if you can remember anything let me know. I have a picture of you and others standing in front of the Battalion Hq. office tent at Cam Rahn Bay. Please e-mail me if you recall anything...also I loaned you my copy of the 101st Abn Div 1965 album when you lived in La Quinta Ca., in about 1980, then you moved away. I would really like to have it back! Please!

Thanks for your help,

I came across this site doing a search for something else. Seeing that my brother wrote a story & a poem gave me a feeling that is beyond words. See, after VN, I had a brother that I really didn't know anymore, a brother that took over a decade to talk to me about what had happened & only in bits & pieces. I am proud of my brother for doing what he had to do. I am also proud of him that he wrote what he did on this site. I know he gave more than hard work & time in VN; he gave part of yourself, too. I thank God (not the Angel of Death) for his & the others survival in the train station (& for every moment he was in VN). So, Wayne Gaskins, I just wanted to let you know that I've seen a side of you that I thought was long gone. And to say "thank you" and I love you.

WELCOME HOME VIETNAM VETERANS DAY-MARCH 30

In 2000, I began a campaign to welcome home our Vietnam Veterans. I felt the need to say thank you, God bless you and welcome home.

Last May 15 2004, my team and I left Whittier, Ca. on bicycles to go to Washington, D.C. to ask Congress and the President of the United States to create a day of recogniton for our Vietnam Veterans.

Rep. Linda T. Sanchez has introduced H-Res 30 in the House, which calls for March 30, of every year to be recognized as Welcome Home Vietnam Vetrans Day. Now, there are dozens of co-sponsors to the bill, including Reps. Grace Napolitano and Loretta Sanchez, also from California. We need state reps from other states to pick up the ball and support the bill.

I've spent five years and thousands of dollars (most of which I still owe), countless hours telephoning, faxing, e-mailing, letter-writing, lobbying, fund- raising and pushing those who had the power to make this happen.

This bill, when passed, will show all our Veterans that no matter how long it takes, America's warriors are not forgotton.

People who really care about Vietnam Veterans and about how they were ignored after returning home should call their representatives and ask them why their names are not on the bill as co-sponsors? This bill does not have political barriers, it does not ask for money, time off from work, parades or $50 bucks off at Wal-mart; all it says is that it is time to say thank you, God bless and welcome home to our Vietnam Veterans. My question is where is the name of your state rep? Why don't they support this bill? Call them today and ask them.

We need to do it now before another Vietnam Veteran dies without hearing those words of gratitiude from a grateful nation.

I have set up a Web site at www.whvvd.org On that site I have placed links to government offices, including the White House, Congress and the Senate.

This March 30 has passed just like they have for the past four decades, and no one cared or showed any regard. The Vietnam Veteran, very much forgotton like the Korean War Veteran, will stand proudly on the sidelines waiting for America to recognize her true heroes.

As founder and team coordinator for Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day, I urge to to please help me in this "solo" campaign. I know I can't do it alone, I need your help, in every state of Union. I ask this as one American and as one Veteran to another. This is not just about the Vietnam Veteran. This is about America doing what is right. Please take the time today to say hello, thank you and God bless to all Veterans.

It all began here in Whittier; Ca. help me take it to the rest of the nation.

Some information that might be helpful: I contacted my congressman, and his secretary sent off and got all my medals that I did not receive while I was in VIet Nam. It only took about 3 to 4 weeks. If your medals are listed on your dd 214, you will receive them, only one they were not authorized to send, but did get the ribbon for it, even got the expert rifle I earned while in basic. I was impressed with their response. If interested contact your congressman and they will do all the work, just have your 214 ready for them If an individual sends for them, I was told it would take months. they even put my name on the back of them. If I can be of help e-mail me, Gary VIet Nam 1969.

I had tried to submit this information before. I guess I was doing it wrong. Anyway, I'm really happy to be getting on the roster. I started out in Cobra 2nd Platoon. I was switched later to the 1st Platoon under Sgt Tieman. It's too bad the first platoon picture does not appear in the company photo. I can help to name a few of the guys in the 2nd platoon photo. Let me know. Feet and knees together...Earl.

PRESS RELEASE: For immediate publication in newsletters and online postings

Letter Writing Campaign for Retroactive Air Assault Badge

The Air Assault Parity Coalition has begun a Letter Writing Campaign requesting the new Secretary of the Army make the current Air Assault Badge retroactive to the Vietnam war for former airmobile and air cavalry combat veterans. The Army previously ?considered and rejected? the retroactive award of the current Air Assault Badge to former members of the air assault units.

The Air Assault Parity Coalition is also seeking a congressional sponsor for a Retroactive Air Assault Badge bill. For more information and sample letters, visit the Air Assault Parity Coalition website at: http://airassault.bizhosting.com. Please help obtain this long overdue recognition for the pioneers of the current Air Assault technology (?We Put The Air in Air Assault?).

I am looking for anyone who served with my father, Sgt. Mark Marquess, in Vietnam in C-2/327 Infantry 101st Airborne, he served in Vietnam from January 10, 1970 until December 4, 1970. My father died in 1979 when I was very young and talked very little to relatives of his time in Vietnam and I'd like to find out where all he was during a time that had such a profound impact on his life and anything anyone could tell me of him as I was so young when he died and have a limited amount of memories. If you may have known him or could give me any information on his locations while in Vietnam I'd greatly appreciate it.

My father was an avid photographer and wrote descriptions on the back of his pictues so I do have some clues as to who and where I'm looking for information about. He had pictures of the following people: Dave Sandoval, Don Kirby, Dennis Utt, Ron Kenslow, Ed McWilliams, Horn, Morris, Doghandler, Ralph Velasco, Sammy Gray, Jay Irick, Gary Way, Roger Long, Kerry Kitt, Allen Tinker, Ramos, Watson, George Mallinak, Doc Kelly, Danny Poole, Ron Smith, MacGregor, Terry Kasparian, Mike Rice, Bob Mattox, Sadler, Skinner, Lamburger, Puckett, Chico, Slick Wilhelmi, and Little John. If you have any information on these people or know where I can find them please contact me.

He has pictures of the following places, with the exception of the major cities I can't find many of these places on a map and would be interested in knowing where they are and/or information on the operations my father could have been participating in, in these places. The places were: Eagle, Cau Hai, Cam Ranh, Hoa Binh, Hoa Mau, Cau Hai, Phu Loc, Cinh Loc, Bach Ma Road, Los Banos, Nvoc Voc, Elephant Valley, Truoi, 155, Hill 602 and Nuoc. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

This is Jerry Berry with the 3-506th (Bn PIO 1967/68) - www.currahee.org. Check it out!

Since Dale and I help each other out from time to time, I wanted to pass on this offer to our sister battalions of 1st Brigade.

I get requests often from our members asking me how do they go about getting copies of their military personnel and medical records. I and others have posted the "How To" on our website and through e-mails. I offered to help anyone wanting to get theirs for a fee...I think $20-$25 it was. Several of you took me up on it. My fee was to cover the cost of postage, filling out the necessary forms, communicating with St. Louis (when needed), etc. The
>two primary reasons why many of you don't go through the process to get yours, is you don't have the time to do it, or understand exactly the process to follow. It normally takes about 2-3 months to get your records, if St. Louis don't have to get back with you. Then, you are put back on their list and that means a longer delay.

I spoke with my daughter, Stephanie, who as you know does a lot of my graphics for our Currahee group; and asked her if she would be willing to do the 'leg work' for anyone wanted to get copies of their military records. Since she is working to generate jobs for 'fledging' home-based business--graphicworks.com, she said she would love to. So, here's the offer:

For a fee of $25, she will take your military service information needed (you provide) to submit it to St. Louis and file for you the request (form 180, if I'm not mistaken, which I have) for your records--(both personnel and medical...two different departments). She will do all the 'leg work' and communicating with St. Louis for you).

The military encourages all veterans to request copies of their records for personal needs, especially for medical claims and treatment. You will be amazed at what all you will find in your records. I had everything from draft notice, shot records, all orders (with so many names of guys that were in my units (Basic, AIT, Jump School, 3-506th). I even found orders with home addresses of other guys listed on certain orders. A wealth of info.

If interested, let us know, and Stephanie will contact you.
