Hello Everyone,
I am writing in hopes of finding all veterans that may have known and served with my Uncle. My Uncle served in Vietnam as part of the 101st Airborne Division, 1/327th infantry, B Company, 3rd Platoon from 1965 to 1968 and was the recipient of two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. My Uncle passed away in 2014 due to complications from injuries suffered in May 1967. I was never able to speak with him about his war experience.
If anyone recalls serving with my Uncle, SGT. Stephen Wood, I would highly appreciate a message to let me know!
Thank you to everyone that has been so helpful already and a huge thank you to everyone that has served this great nation.

I hope this newly designed web site is still being updated with ALL the old entries such as stories and photos. Also the memorial pages. This site does nothing for those, as myself, that fought in Vietnam.

This is sad. I agree with the other posts I see dated 07/12/2021. You got stuff to sell on here but all the old information is gone, the communications, the stories, the memories, the connections from, for and about these soldiers - the valuable stuff. Selling stuff don't matter; these soldiers matter. This is a slap in the face to the veterans here. January 25, 1968, eve of Tet. This site no longer represents what Phillip Eugene Garver, Robert Candler Langford, and Earl Adelbert Mailloux gave the last full measure of devotion for.

Maybe the old site is down temporarily. I hope that it is not gone forever. That is how many of us found each other. No matter how many years it went back. It was part of our history.

I am a retired British Army officer now undertaking a PhD at the University of Oxford. I am seeking to contact Colonel (Rtd) Andrew Irzyk, with whom I served on the Kosovo Verification Mission in 1998-9, to request an interview in support of my research. If my e-mail address could be passed to him I would be grateful. Subsequent to Kosovo I proudly served alongside US forces in Freetown, Basrah and Kabul. Thank-you.

Soldiers, Veterans, family and friends of the 327th,
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I am CSM(R) Tom Guglielmo and I am the new Honorary Regimental Command Sergeant Major, a position I am both extremely humbled and honored to have been selected for. I served in the 101st from 1998-2012 and held leadership positions from Squad Leader to Brigade CSM of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 327th IN RGT. I look forward to meeting and speaking with as many of you as I can and learning your story so that I can tell our story. Upon retirement I stayed in the Fort Campbell area which allows me to pay regular visits to the Brigade on Fort Campbell and interact with the Soldiers. I am excited about maintaining the link between the veterans of the Brigade and the currently serving Soldiers in order to perpetuate our history.
Always First!
Bastogne!
Tom

He can only remember a few last names and one who asked to be called Jack Sh*t. The others are: Ice (Ute Indian), Kowalski (from Utah), Ali and Wilson. They fought in the DMZ for approx 6 months.

I was platoon leader, 1st platoon, ABU Co, 1/327. Arrived in country 04 Jun 1966 and was inserted into ABU Co in the middle of the action in Dak To. On 17 Jun 1966, we engaged the NVA and my RTO, Jack Edward Seward, was wounded by a grenade fragment that pierced his helmet and tore up his forehead. It was the same day Lt Perry, the XO, was killed by "friendly" helicopter rockets.
On 09 Sep 2016, I met Jack Seward again, 50 years later at the dedication of the 327th memorial at Ft Campbell. I learned he was never awarded the Purple Heart medal he richly deserves. I am seeking members of the first platoon who remember and can testify as to the facts and circumstances of that action. I need witness statements to help convince the Army to finally award this long overdue medal.
If you were there or know someone who was, please contact me ASAP.

I was with 2nd Plt. D Co. 327th Inf. from July '69 - July '70. I was WIA in the A Shau 10 Aug.'69 and was hospitalized for 6 weeks before being sent back to Delta Co. I walked point for the remainder of my tour. The little yellow guys, aka NVA, did their best to put the hurt on me again, but failed. I escaped some near brushes with death, God had other plans for my life.
I have committed my life to helping and serving Vets and their families. I am currently the Chaplain of VFW Old Settlers Post 4659 in Shelby Twp. MI., and Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 1818 in Fraser, MI.
I also am a life member of the VVA Chapter 9 in Detroit, the DAV, AMVETS, VVW- Veterans of the Vietnam War Chapter 7,the Catholic War Veterans of the United States, the K OF C 4th degree, and the 101st Airborne Association. But my heart will always be with Delta Co., my brothers in arms and for the 30 Delta Co. Hero's who gave all. '68-'71

I served with A Company 2/327th Infantry Regiment in Kosovo in year 2000. We were in charge of enforcing the peace agreement in the city of Vitina, Kosovo. It was a tough mission and we saw a lot more than can ever be told. I respect all who served in the 327th past and present.

I served in the 3/327 from 85 to 88. We did a tour in the MFO-Sinai. I really didn't know how awesome our division was while I served (dumb kid) and even though I saw no combat during my enlistment, I am proud to have been a part of this unit. An achievement that I am proud of (other than my air assault badge) was the EIB, to be perfectly honest I shot expert but just barely, damn if I didn't miss every 300 yd target but if you got within 250 yds, you were toast! Peace to those who went before. A shout out to my buddies - Rodney Wintz, Jim Coutriaux, Paul Shaffer, and Scott Hedden - Shaffer - give us a call, dude

I served as Col. Gary John Bridges driver when he commanded the 3/327th. I have fond memories of my time of service and refer to him in my stories and life very often. It is only fitting that he would be selected as the Honorary Colonel of the 327th Regiment. I would like to see him again someday. Thank you sir for all the ways you inspired me. Hooah!

Hello everyone, just checking in after being off the hook for so many years. I was with the 1/327th 101st Abn. 1st Platoon. looking forward to the memorial unveiling at Ft. Campbell. I have been going through letters from Warrant officers, to medics to grunts. All pertaining to the accident 12/24/70 and the Chinook crash in 71. What a time, I can still see and hear it all like yesterday. The stories are filling in things I never knew or forgot. Nine on my right wounded 12 on the left died. We were young. We were soldiers. We will never forget our brothers.

Honors at his service. They thought I was insane until I told them about daddy's medals and had his discharge paper to prove it. It was funny to see them not say another word when I mentioned the valor symbol daddy had on his star etc. Funny daddy was humble but I was proud. I miss him . I just wanted to share .

Is there anyone who was assigned to B Co that knew my uncle?
It is coming up on 50 years since Uncle Larry was killed. I have not forgotten him and I am sure all who were involved in the battle have not forgotten their fallen comrades.

I thought you all would find this interesting.
This is from a contact I made in VN while working on the 866 project.He was in the 196th
Hello Paco,
I pleasured to read your email this early morning at my small room.
Thanks to your email also. My favorite is opening the internet page after waking up in the morning.
At first I am responding your question about my trip to US in 1975. As you have known that I was in Da nang with my family when NVAs occupied the city in late March 1975. One NVA platoon came to my house with many questions that what I am doing with South Vietnam Government , I told them that I was not working with ARVN , I was just a civilian to work in free jobs for taking care my family but NVA platoon leader did not believe me too much and then he questioned me many other questions to find out about my activities with South Government ... I moved my family back to my old country in DMZ at night time with a rental truck, I left most my stuffs in my plenty house in Da nang...
I lived in a small house in DMZ with my wife and 3 sons , local VC cadres came to take me to the village chief 's house and I had to write down what they wanted me to respond their questions, I think they knew what I worked with ARVN but they didn't say nothing about US forces where I have worked with in the war.
a young VC cadre brought some documents in English and asked me what documents talking about . I was very afraid to tell them that I did not understand too much about those documents because my English was broken . The guy smiled and walking out the houch quickly , I cannot know what will be happened to me next . very worry. They let me for home at 12 O'clock and said that I had to stay home . not leaving there to anywhere without their permissions . I said Ok.
They came to take me back the village chief's house 2 days later and told me that I had to take a reeducations course in couple months near Highway#1. I had to bring food for myself they had nothing for myself and many another guys.
I studied the Communism and worked very hard under sunshine in 3 months.
i was hungry and thirsty and had no cloths , I used the old sand bags as my cloths every day.They let me going home after 3 months in changing the mind but I had to become a farmer to work on the dry field with nothing , my wife and our children got nothing for eat.I understand that our lives will go down to the hell.
we stayed there from April 1975 to September 1979. We escaped DMZ at night time and walking to Dong ha city to catch a bus to Chu lai where I am living now.
They VC local cadres in Chu lai got me much troubles also . they said my past life story is very and very bad because I had worked with US Army to kill Vietnamese and their comrades therefore I couldn't find jobs until today, that is a reason why I didn't leave home for US in 1975. I am getting old.and my wife too , all my children didn;t have much times for their schools so they are not working well , no one can help us caused they are all poor. My US combat friends helped me some times , they sent me money to the bank and I picked them out to buy everything I needed.
You can come here to visit Vietnam , nothing gets you troubles because the Government needs USD from foreign visitors, you will be welcome here however they don't like you just needs your money but they don't make you getting angry
I will answer what your questions , we are friends , nothing can stop our friendships Patrick event Communist security agency.
Will talk with you more .
Best regards

Rest in Peace Wayne Gaskins
Wayne passed on 10 April 2016. He served in Delta, No Slack, RVN, 1968-69 as an infantryman. Our tours over lapped but we were is separate platoons and we didn't link up until one of the 327th reunions at Crossville, TN, probably 2003 and beyond. He had lost his health but was lovingly cared for by his wife Sierra. They lived on Roan Mountain, TN. I was able to visit them there a few times. a On this 327infantry.org website, Wayne has a poem, "She Didn't Want to Play" and a story "The Train Station". Also on this 327infantry.org site's gallery are two photos of Wayne Gaskins, one with his wife Sierra titled "Thanksgiving" and "NoSlackers" of Yankee Jim Simchera, Wayne Gaskins, and myself, taken in 2011. I knew him to be a good man and fellow airborne infantry friend. RangerTom Carpenter, Delta No Slack, 101st Abn, RVN 1968-69

I was with Co. E 2/327 when then Captain Finnegan was the CO. In January 1970 I was in charge of the FDC for the mortar platoon that was in the CP at FSB Tomahawk. Dennis was a damn good officer. He constantly worked to improve the security of the Firebase. I remember that he was not sure if he was going to stay in the Army. On New Year's eve he broke out a few bottles of booze (the small ones) that you got on the airplane for us to bring in the New Year. So sorry to hear that he paid the ultimate sacrifice. May he rest in peace.

Hello my name is Heather and I am the daughter of a Vietnam Vet. My Dad , Karl Ritter (Anderson, IN.) served in the Amry's 101st Airborne during the years of 1962 - 1965. My Dad never told us kids much about the Army or Vietnam. Dad used to say; that was way before you kids were ever even thought of. My Dad passed away in 2008 of a heart attack at the age of 64. When planning his funeral all we could find of his military past was a copy of his DD 214 which is what we needed for his military funeral. Anyhoot I am curious about what all my Dad did in the Army. What his rank was and meant, (SP-4 ,E-4 (T) , I would also love to meet anyone who served with my Dad. I don't know what all information to include in this message other than the information I've included so far. That's about all I have. I'm hoping someone out there knew him, served with him, maybe has some stories or photos of him. i've included all of my information for anyone who might have information about my Dad. Oh I almost forgot ... according to his DD 214 his last duty was ... CO C 2ND BN 327 INF 1st BDE , 101st ABN DIV.
Thank you for your time and God bless you for your service to our country! Much love & respect to you all !!!

Rest in Peace Wayne Gaskins
Wayne passed on 10 April 2016. He served in Delta, No Slack, RVN, 1968-69 as an infantryman. Our tours over lapped but we were is separate platoons and we didn't link up until one of the 327th reunions at Crossville, TN, probably 2003 and beyond. He had lost his health but was lovingly cared for by his wife Sierra. They lived on Roan Mountain, TN. I was able to visit them there a few times. a On this 327infantry.org website, Wayne has a poem, "She Didn't Want to Play" and a story "The Train Station". Also on this 327infantry.org site's gallery are two photos of Wayne Gaskins, one with his wife Sierra titled "Thanksgiving" and "NoSlackers" of Yankee Jim Simchera, Wayne Gaskins, and myself, taken in 2011. I knew him to be a good man and fellow airborne infantry friend. RangerTom Carpenter, Delta No Slack, 101st Abn, RVN 1968-69

Looking for anyone who might have information on a member of Co. C 1/327 Inf. His name is Evans, he carried the M60. He was wounded during a night ambush late '69 or early '70. He was choppered out and I think he went to a navy ship off the coast. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I was with Co. E 2/327 when then Captain Finnegan was the CO. In January 1970 I was in charge of the FDC for the mortar platoon that was in the CP at FSB Tomahawk. Dennis was a damn good officer. He constantly worked to improve the security of the Firebase. I remember that he was not sure if he was going to stay in the Army. On New Year's eve he broke out a few bottles of booze (the small ones) that you got on the airplane for us to bring in the New Year. So sorry to hear that he paid the ultimate sacrifice. May he rest in peace.
