I am looking for anyone who might have fought with my dad in Vietnam. His name was Marion "Andy"
Andrews. I lost my dad on Christmas Day. He very seldom talked about Vietnam but he did tell us about Hamburger Hill. If you knew him, please contact me.

I read this site often and hope many of my "NO SLACK" Brothers do to. This is a reminder that the Vietnam Veterans Reunion called "SNOWBIRDS " in Kissimmee is getting close. Some of from "D" Company- 2/327th which served in 1969/70 are planning on getting together there. I hope many can make it. 6 of us got together in Branson, Mo in June 2006 and had a great time. It's the first weekend in February 2007.Please ALL, try to make it.

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!

PFC-E3 RUSSELL THOMAS FORD, KIA- May 2,1967,
101st Airborne, C Company-1/327, 2nd platoon
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,
Mick

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!!!
NO SLACK!! Many thanks to Hannibal.

24 December, 2006
I just went thru the Guestbook,...scanning all 37 pages, for entries with my name.
Nothing. I guess it has been a long time since I kept up with Tigers.
I was an in-country Replacement from the 9th Pathfinder Detachment, 9th Infantry Division, Bearcat.
I was on Orders for assignment to C Company, 1/327
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

I had the distinct privilege of being the Plt Ldr of the 3rd Plt. of CO A from Oct. 1970 - Aug. 1971. The Company CO was Craig (Smoke) Trumbo for whom it was a privilege to serve. The men from the 3rd Platoon were a terrific group of men who served and sacrificed for each other and volunteered, without question or hesitation, to come to the rescue of comrades in trouble. (Remember the CA into the hot LZ on Easter, 1971). I hope the rest of you made it back to the "real world" after I left.

God Bless you and "Thanks"

My stepson PFC Joseph J. Duenas served with the 101st, D Co, 1-327 IN. He died March 30, 2006 in Iraq.
I am writing a memorial for him. I want to be sure I understand the meaning of BASTOGNE.
Bastogne played a major role during the Battle of Bastogne in World War II. On December 21, 1944, the German Army surrounded the city, trapping the U.S. 101st Airborne Division and other units. The 101st's defense of Bastogne was credited with slowing up the Germans' push for the port of Antwerp.
Is Bastogne! the battle cry for the 327th

ATR.
I was with Alpha company 1st platoon late 1970-71.
I was the platoon leaders RTO.
I have tried to locate some of the brothers that were in my platoon when I was there. I recently found some photos with names.
I would like to know if anyone is aware of Lt. Lattanzi, Sgt. Stuart who I think was from Pocatello Idaho, Tom Perez and another with the last name of Rosado?
If anyone is aware of these guys, I'd like to be able to get the information if possible.
I'm in Southern California.
None of these names are on the ABU roster.

Thanks,
Mil Thornton

Great site. Just found it by accident. I was with HHC 1/327 from Sept 69 till new years day 72. Double Eagle. Spent my time on all the firebases between Da nang and Phu bai as RTO. Also spent 3 months with my best friend in nam Dan ( IGOR )Kulhanick as a radio relay team in the village at Hi van pass. Was on the pad in Da nang when the Chinook with all the cooks went down. I was waiting to get out for Camp Eagle myself that day. Still see dan ocassionally and saw Bill Smikle another buddy from nam at Fort Riley KS just before I got out. If anyone has had contact with Robert ( Charlie ) Pride, Shortround Debois, Edward Earl Edear ( triple E), The Foots, Bill Smikle, Rick Gray, Jim Lala or any of the other RTO's from HHC 1/327 from sept 69 till jan 1 of 72 let me know. Still carry the gold coin in my wallet they gave us that read ABOVE THE REST 1/327th A.I.C.G. on one side and HONOR AND COUNTRY on the back.. I lost my Jump Mary which was inscribed Mary Queen of Angels Defend us in combat. If anyone knows wher to get a replacment let me know.

I served with Capt. Abood in the 97th Sig. Bn. 60-63. Too bad EMs cant socialize with Officers. He was my kind of guy. I remember he came back drunk from town one night, and rolled a new Corvette. (He got bored, and went back to Airborne) I'm glad he made it safe through Vietnam, but am sorry to hear he has passed away.

Just finished Doug Bergman's "Names I Can't Remember"...hard to describe...was an ABU after 'Nam, but feel that any soldier past or present could relate to this book. Having experienced some of the gut wrenching episodes while trying to find myself that he describes in his book, I find it refreshing that Doug stepped forth and opened his life up for others. I think after reading, folks might be encouraged to look inside and realize that life itself can be a battle, and that there are others out there that are willing to stand alongside and face the storm with you...thanks for having the PX, and thanks for especially for the book "Names I Can't Remember", worth every penny!

My brother served in Viet Nam from July '69-July '70. He was killed in a car crash in April of '88. He never really talked about the war, just about the friends he'd made and how close all you guys were. I guess when you face death every day for a year you just grasp and hold on! I have contacted several of his friends and am very grateful for your site and visit it often. God bless all of you vets and it breaks my heart that you guys didn't come home to a heros welcome. It's not that I approve of the current war, I feel that it's gone on long enough, but I have respect for every soldier that has fought in every war. My dad was in WWII, wounded at the Bulge, and I would love to hear those war stories just one more time. Take care of yourselves and remember that you are all heros in our minds and hearts. Later, Joyce

Russ and I would like to commend two ladies and their support group from Simi Valley, Ca. who have been sending packages to C Company 1/327th for some time now. Paula and Melissa have gathered many items together with the help of a large group of military supporters and mailed them to the Cobra's and have helped to keep the morale of this unit high due to their support. Paula had requested names to send packages to from Fred Brander who her husband served with in Vietnam and ever since have been faithful in their support. Their daughters collected many Girl Scout cookies and they were very welcome by these young soldiers who serve our country and are so happy to hear from someone in the States who care about their morale and well being. Thank you Paula and Melissa and the folks in Simi Valley who have been so giving to the Cold Steel Cobras.

I just read the write up about Ed and Terry Kurth, and I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. I am the FRG (Family Readiness Group) Leader for BCo 1-327th INF. The current CO, CPT Lewis, wrote that in the latest edition of our newsletter. I just have to state that they are absolutely wonderful people, and they have done so much for our guys. It is tough being a military wife to a deployed soldier, but with the love and support that myself, and the men of BCo have gotten, it makes it much easier. I want to personally thank Ed and Terry for everything that they have and continue to do. I would also like the thank Don Dornell. Without his support, and the support of Burlingame, CA, the men of BCo would not be as well off as they are. THANK YOU!!

Stay safe Bushmasters.
