August 2000 is when the 327th Vietnam Eagles Site was launched. From its humble beginnings seven years ago to what it has become today it still remains a work in progress. Your generous contributions coupled with our web master’s hard work have made this site a rally point for all the 327th Brothers and their families.
Hannibal & David J., my brothers you are AIRBORNE All The Way!
I’m always looking for guys I served with in 2nd Platoon A No Slack (Sept 69-70) Everyone who served in A Co. from ’69 through ’72 should be ready to attend our 2nd annual reunion to be held at Pigeon Forge, TN April 2008. Shoot me an email for details.
I welcome hearing from anyone who served in the 327th. Contact me if you want on the 327th E-Mail Roster to enjoy fellowship with those who wore the Club on their helmet.
NS/ATR!

While watching the motocycle parade at DC this Memorial Day weekend, I started a converstion with the guy standing next to me who was also a Vietnam Veteran. I asked him who he was with and he stated he was with the 327th. About blew my socks off. His name is Lloyd Williams and he was with C Co. 2nd/327th from Sept '68 to Sept '69. I asked him if he has been to the 327th web-site and he said he isn't to computer literate. Any way he wanted to let anyone who knew him that he is still alive and well, living in Hunstville, Alabama.

Bastogne Bulldogs,
What a great website! I enjoyed visitng, reading the GuestbookBastogne, and understanding the history of this great unit, just a little bit more. My father (Tech 5 Max Lawerence Conant) served with HQ Co, 3rd Bn, 327 Glider Infantry during WWII. He has since passed away and it is through this site I can understand his combat history.

May God keep you all safe and bless you for your Service to this country during a time of war once again.

I'm not a vietnam combat veteran, But I am a veitnam era veteran, I served with the U.S.ARMY from September 1972 to March 1979 and E.T.S'd with the rank of Sgt E-5. I was stationed In Homestead Fla During The "Tricky Dicky" term of office. From there I spent three years in Wharton Barracks Germany, Where I re-upped. My last tour was in Fort Lewis Wa, Like I said where I e.t.s'd.
I have had the HONOR of working with some of the finest men I've ever known. Most of which were Combat veterans. David Markham is one of those individuals! And I can honestly say that I'm a better person for having known and worked with David.
This web site is just one of a series of tributes that A lot of people don't understand. God bless America and All of those who served!

I am searching for any information I can possibly find on my brother Ray A Archuletta KIA Sept 7,1967. His rank during both tours was that of a SSG E-6. I do know that he was in B Company 2/502 Infantry at the time of his death. What I am trying to find out is he had a first tour in Vietnam and was medivacd back to the US in 1966.I have no clue as to the Company he was in from Dec 25, 1965 to March 26,1966. On this date he took a round through the jaws he partially recovered from that wound and returned to Vietnam Mar 1967. During the time he was at Fitsimmions Army Medical center he spoke of a fire fight on Feb 7, 1966. This was the firefight that LT James Gardner was awarded the Medal of Honor. Also of other dead soldier's named Alexander Montoya and David Garcia from Pueblo Colorado.After being wounded he was assigned to the 506 Infantry at Fort Campbell, KY. Before going to Vietnam the first time he was assigned to the 8 th Airborne in Germany until late 1965. If any one can provide me with more information I would Appreciate whatever information I might receive.
Thank you,
Rays brother

Hi Folks: In 1956 I Company 187th was redesignated A Company 327th. We did not want to lose our Ibu so we dropped the I and added an A.
Thus Abu 327th was born. Over the years I have met other Ibus/Abus and find their spirit is the same as it was in 1956.
I missed the fun in Vietnam due to injuries received in other skirmishes. Often wondered if there are many around who were present during the change over. Bob Rogers

Just found this site and browsing. Anyone recognize the trooper on the home page that is wearing the jungle hat, visible 101 patch, etc. Seems to be wearing infantry patch on the collar. Looks a lot like me when I was a bit younger, thinner, etc. but have no idea when such a picture could have been taken. Still, nice to have a name to all those individuals on the page. Bill

Hello,

Today I got a phone call to help out someone down the road because his father passed away two days ago. Since I am the only one in the area that has been or is in the military they called me to help piece together his uniform for burial. Long story short, this man who I wish I knew did three tours in Vietnam and was wounded three times. I have been putting together his ribbons but felt I should try to tell someone else.( maybe get a hold of someone who knew him) I thought if I could say something at his funeral about his military time that would be great! Anyway his name is George G. Blackmar. I know he ended his time a SGT. I also know his was in the 101st, Aco 2nd Bn 327th, I know he was in in 67 (don't know what tour) looks like unit crest honor and country. If you can help me and his family I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Would like to know any information about an SFC that was on the operation to the FB Fury AO in April 1971 with 1-327. He'd been wounded on a previous tour with 1 ID and his hand still bore the consequence. He was a drill with C-3-3 at Ft. Leonard Wood in 1969, where I met him. He was a good man, and I can't remember his name.

I am always amazed at the number of troopers that sign the guest book with how much they enjoyed their time in the 101st and especially 327th Regiment. These troopers should join the 101st Airborne Division Association. This organization was established at the end of WWII to perpetuate the brotherhood of the Screaming Eagles, no matter when you served,
My background with the division, I returned from Japan with the 508th RCT in July 1956 to help form the 101st into an Airborne Division. I was assigned to E Co 506th ABG also served with HHC 327th ABG and the C&C; Bn. I later served as a Plt Ld with B Co 2/327th and then commanded C Co 2/327th 67/68. I am currently the Chairman of the Board of the 101st Association. I am with the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter. If you are truly interested in the 101st please contact our Secretary/Treasurer Sam Bass to get information on how to join and find out about all of the good things that the Association is doing for our soldiers and their families at the following address: 2703 Michigan Ave/PO Box 929 Ft Campbell, KY (270) 439-0445. You can also call me especially if you served with me or would just like information on the 101st Association.

I will be taking an active part in the Gathering of Eagles on March 17th in Washington DC at the Vietnam Memorial and the surrounding Hallowed ground helping to protect our other sacred Monuments as well from the anti-military, anti-American Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda ilk who will be attempting to use our sacred Vietnam Memorial as their back drop in their propaganda ploy and demonstration against our troops fighting in Iraq and SW Asia. I am trying to find as many Screaming Eagles as possible who will be there in Washington on the 17th as well as to look for the Black 101st Screaming Eagle Flag and to rally to me and each other so we can stand together as a Band of Brothers against this horde of un-American protesters. I am trying to get a head count of some kind and I can be reached at my email address or on the Gathering of Eagles website at the North Carolina link or comments page.

I hope my friend Don Matthews is allowed to join us at the site with his own page. My lengthy and frequent email correspondances with him convince me that he is one of us despite his unit designation. He slept among the same trees and in the same rain. His military contributions cost the NVA dearly and saved a lot of 327th lives.

I served with the Tiger Force from May 1966 through July 1967. The last operation I was on was in Song Ve Valley. I have just finished reading the book Tiger Force. There is a lot written that is only collaborated by a few of those in attendance. I have no doubt that some of it is factual but I remember a few of the incidents described in the book, and my minds eye sees them through a different portal than what was written. Suffice to say that all occurred a long time ago, in a different life and time. I am proud of my service. I am extremely proud that I was and remain a member of the Tiger Force. One of the main reasons I am able to write this message was because of the consumate professionalism and no nonsense approach taken by the members of the Tigers. I was privledged to serve with them. To all my Brother Tigers who came before or after me and are reading this message - Welcome Home, and Thank You for a job well done. In the jungle the Tiger walks in silence!

Killed on May 12,1967 near Duc Pho in Quang Ngai province ---My brother "Russ-Rusty"
This is a proud thanks to all who served with him, and all that served bravely in this "never to be forgotten war." My son, a history teacher/buff researched my brother on this web site, and surprised me with a gift in which I was able to learn more about his time in the war. Growing up, his lean, lanky, legs would jump fences, and charge "into" a pile of guys to defend someone in the neighborhood- it was no surprise to me when he chose the "Eagles"!! For years, I wondered about that time of his life, and who he had served with. Thank you again, Frank Dunlevy, and Gene Ackman- for sharing your friendship with him and the great things he did.

I sailed nineteen days, from oakland, Ca. to RVN, on the USNS Geiger, in January 1967 with the 9th Pathfinder Detachment, from Fort Riley, Kansas.
At Fort Benning, Georgia, January 1966, I completed my fifth Jump from C-119 Aircraft, (Flying Boxcars).
Upon completion of Jump School, I Volunteered for PPMAD, (Parachute Packing, Maintenace, Arieal Delivery. One of the Finest Schools that I ever Washed Out of. I completed four month 's of training, of the six month SFQ Course at Fort Bragg in 1985.
Two months after flunking out, I was promoted to Sergeant First Class, with the 307th Engineer Bn., 82d Airborne. While with the 307th, I made my first "Stand in the Door" jump! We were in C-141 jets, flying in V formation with other C-141's, and I could see the pilot of another jet, below us, taking a picture of me. I remember thinking, "Who is Flying the Plane?" I Remain Allways a Tiger,

Looking for anyone who knew Ernie L. Moore from Michigan. Ernie was with Bravo Company, 2/327th from June 69 until about April 1970. He transferred into our battalion 3/506th just in time for Cambodia. He was KIA May 10, 1970. We didn't know Ernie since he was with us for only days.

We're trying to help his widow contact anyone who might have known Ernie. He had a gold front tooth and blonde hair. I do have a few photos of Ernie. We have located Platoon Sgt. Romo who knew Ernie at 2/327th. Romo also transferred into 3/506th at same time.

I thank you for any assistance. CURRAHEE!!!

But I talked to Captain McGaha, and joined Tiger Force.
The Blade Newspaper,(Ohio), story about us, contained a map of where Tigers were Operating.
From May until December 1967/
We were a Gung-Ho unit. We did what higer up said to do......ie.....On one patrol, we were set up for the night. While on guard shift, we passed the Starlight Scope from man to man. I was sleeping, when I was awaken, and told to be quiet. On a trail in front of us, were 30+ NVA walking in single file. Our Team Leader, SSG Trout, made a decision not to engage, or follow them. Instead, he transmitted to the rear our coordinates, and there direction of travel. SSG Trout requested a Fire Mission, it was denied. He was told to go after them. SSG Trout replied, Wilco. Then he told us that there was no way we were going on a suicide mission. We had less than twenty Men.
We stayed on alert the rest of the night, and followed the trail at first light.
My point in telling this is, people in the rear had lost sight of the situations we were involved in.
We took care of ourselves, and used common sense, as much as we could.
Like with any Sports Team....Our higher Command, did not always have our intrest in mind.
So some members of Tigers were fustrated and felt constrained in our actions.
When the Air Force dropped leaflets, telling the Villagers we were re-locating them, Higher Up told us, that we were to patrol after the re-location, that any one seen in the Village were considered enemy.
We killed some people, that later were idenified as Civilians. At one point I was called forward to use my M-79 on a suspect running into a hut. I put a round thru a window, and a black pajama clad person stumbled out, and fell down. We went and checked,...it was a old lady. We speculated that she was a Mother of a VC, and just did not want to leave the Village. At first I felt bad, but justified that She was not supposed to be there.
I'm rambling,.....Mick

OK Fellow Tigers,...I changed email address's.
When I read from other Tigers about the "Toledo Blade" (Ohio), Report on our actions, I withdrew from my thoughts, and feelings of that time.
Yesterday, Saturday, 23 December, for the first time, I read the Pulitzer Prize series on our Unit.
I E.T.S.ed 10 April 1968, from Fire Base Hawthorne.
Every since then, I have experienced, "Social Aniexty Disorder".....I can't get to close to anyone.
I re-entered the Army in 1974, after I was sure that the War was over. I Retired in January 1992, with Twenty Years of Service.
I work on Fort Hood with Northrop Grumman, as a Range Helper. Its an Honor to work around, and with Soldiers.
When ever I see a Right Sleeve Screaming Eagle Combat patch, I walk up, shake there hand, and say, have you been stationed at Fort Campbell?
Then I say that I've never been to Campbell, I understand that there are two Gym's there named after 1LT James Gardner, and SSG John Gertch.
Then I explain that the two Medal of Honor's that these Troopers were awarded, where the only MOH's given to 1st Brigade, during the entire Vietnam War.
As an Nineteen Year Old Trooper, I learned so much from my Team mates in Tiger Force. We were Tight.
The "Blades" article, has caused me pain.
Absolutly nothing will change my feelings of the Bonding, and History of our fighting Unit.
I am proud to have served with Brave Paratroopers, of the Bastone Brigade.
I wish all Troopers a Vety Merry Chirstmas,....and a New Year, filled with Peace Toward all of Man kind.
With much Love, and Respect.......Mick
