My father served in the 101st in 67-68 in Vietnam. I was born while he was in 'nam so I don't know which battalion, but I'm desperately looking for his service records. He has since passed away of a devastating cancer. We are 5th generation Army (except me, as a girl), but my son is just getting started and I'm trying to put together all the service records for my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc for my son. I cannot find my father's info. Can you help?

Hi, my name is Mitchell Errebo, I was a first cousin of Butch Kobbeman's. I have found another website with "Butch Kobberman" on the roster. It was spelled "Kobberman" but I assume it was spelled wrong. I know he served in the Tiger Force in 67'-68' but know really nothing else. He passed away in 1990. If you can give any insight of your service with him it would be much appreciated. I am from Lincoln, Kansas where Butch grew up. Thanks Mitchell Errebo

This is a rough time of year for myself and many of my Veteran Brothers that served with me in Vietnam. A lot has been happening the past couple of months to cause me to make this tribute to 12 Vietnam brothers from A-Co, 1/327, 101st Infantry Division that were either injured or killed on December 24, 1970. I will be posting a few names each day until Christmas eve at 5:45 when I traditionally light a candle to remember those that fell that evening.

On Dec. 24, 1970, Alpha company was deployed in the Jungle around Firebase Bastogne in I-Corps. There would be a 24 hour cease fire observed for the Christmas holiday. The enemy had already shown that they would use these times to launch offensives hoping to catch our guard down. So all firebases were protected by various Infantry units stationed around them as security. Our Co. was 3 platoons strong. Each platoon took up positions along a ridgeline that was very dence jungle. The 2nd platoon was our most experienced platoon at the time and so a new platoon leader was assigned to them so he could cut his teeth and learn from the platoon of the things that were never taught in infantry school. Each platoon was setting up what we called our Night Defensive Fire positions around our NDP (night defensive perimeter). We were setting predetermined coordinates for artillary support to be able to be called in should the enemy decide to strike in the middle of the night. 2nd platoons new platoon leader did not follow the proper procedures in the field and called a howitzer 105, high explosive artillery round on top of his and the platoons postion. There were 12 injured and 9 killed. within 3 days there would be 3 others that would die to leave 12 dead and 9 severely wounded. This incident has been in our memories for a very long time and those that survived that event and those that had to do the clean up of the incident on Christmas Day will never forget. Recently I have been in contact with the gun crew that fired the artilery round that struck 2nd platoon. They have been suffering for 41 years with thinking that they killed those men without knowing all the details. Alpha Company of 1/327 never blamed the Arty guys and I want them all to know that we understand their grief and pain but it is time for healing now.

There are much more details to the story of pre and post incident but for this purpose it is not necessary to post it here. I will name 4 of the young men that were lost that day. It is our job to Remember them for giving their all.

To Rod Smith.
Rod. You might want to check your facts on your Chinook crash report. That chinook crash has been well documented and recorded with the names of 34 that parished that day. I take offense to your light hearted references to a mission gone bad by OUR brothers. They were by no means rear echalon or cooks and clerks. They were A co. 1/327 Grunts. The company commander along with several others that I served in the field with just weeks before the accident were on that bird. If you don't have facts then don't post. Look in the stories on the 327 website here for the facts. You will find the chinook crash of Thanksgiving day 1971. And sir you owe an apology to A company and gratitude that you were not on that bird that was shot down by enemy fire.
Above the Rest means integrity above all.

Does any body remember Sgt David Julien Barduson. He is listed as KIA March 24, 1968 with ABU, but I can't find anyone that remembers him. I had only been with ABU 10 days when that went down and only really had met Joe and Wilkerson and the rest of the KIAs that day I knew who some of them were but the old bean is pretty fuzzy.

Marshal G Miller was my best friend in Vietnam. He was killed while on a mission June 1971, 40 yrs ago. I was not there when it happened. I always felt a big loss from his death so I set out along time ago to find his grave, which through a fellow ABU Brother, I did find in Phoenix, Az. where Marshal was from. Then last year, Marshal's cousins, Teresa Johnson and Tina Carey contacted me. They had information to share with me regarding Marshal. Then a couple of months ago Marshal's Fiance Denise Dupont contacted me and we met with Teresa and Tina and had a very good visit remembering Marshal.
On Veterans day this year I was able to complete my mission of remembering and honoring my friend and Brother by placing an important award of the Combat Infantry Badge and a 101st Airborne medallion on his headstone.
All of this information to help complete my mission came from a very valuable source. The 1/327, 101st Airborne Website. I will always be grateful to my Brothers that started and continue to keep the website up and running.
Thanks Paul, Mike, David and the others.

I was the "Doc" with B battery 2/320th Arty 1-66 to
11-66. I was there when we were over-run June 7th, 1966. After being violently attacked in the middle of the night, actually got hand to hand on more than one occasion, it was a relief when the "Tiger Force" finally arrived to help out after daybreak. A big thanks guys. I wish I could remember the name of one of the Tiger Force guy I got to meet back in 1994 on a Upward Bound trip to The Wall. It was nice to get some more pieces of the puzzle. I am still proud of receiving a battle field promotion from Gen. Westmoreland in the same location where we had been over run just a few days prior, and within feet of where I had been wounded. Damn lucky to have survived that battle for sure !

I am trying to find information on Kenny Alfstad (PFC Kenneth Orville Alfstad) of B Co, 2nd Bn, 327th Inf, 101st Abn Div. He was KIA Oct 3, 1966 in Vietnam. I would like information from friends, or people that knew him during his basic at Fort Ord (B-1-3), his AIT and airborn training and his service in Vietnam (Where located etc.).

Ken was only in country for 3 months before he was killed. I knew him before he was called up, but never was able to get together with him before he went for training. I was already in Vietnam myself with A Co, 2nd Bn, 27 Inf. Reg., 25th Inf. Div. (Wolfhounds) and I was never able to get to see him before he was killed. He was 19 and only had three weeks to go till he turned 20. We were going to try and meet up on an R&R; once he was in country long enough, but he never made it. An information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

My condolances go to Jackie Rael, whose recent post stirred me to respond.
People who suffer from PTSD are not crazy...they are having valid reactions to events that have occured to them and can greatly benefit from outpatient treatment that includes others with PTSD.
I was one of the first vets given a diagnosis of PTSD in 1980. It has helped me to realize why I react peculiarly to certain situations and how it also affectes others in my life.
I grew up having an uncle Eldon West(CMH/Korea)who suffered tremendously with his feelings and self medicated with alcohol until took his own life in 1960. He also introduced me to another CMH earner, Audie Murphy, who, in our casual relationship over many years showed similar traits to my uncle, he drank a lot and was always packing heat.
I was exposed to Agent Orange at FB Vaghel, being the cherry I had to put on a pancho while standing guard while they sprayed. It has affected me over the years but not as severely as it has my progeny. My daughter's heart was opperated on for Woulf/Parkinsons/White diesiese when she was 14. When it came up in a group study of Agent Orange being conducted in New Orleans by LSU about my daughters WPW three other men in the group of eight had children with WPW. We were all dismissed from the study! I have a grandson who was born with an extrordinarily rare ailment: Epidermilosis Bilosa EB (see the movie "the Boy Whose Skin Fell Off")
Please do not take this as complaining...my life is grand because I am able to use coping techniques taught by the VA and have found the right medication, which took time and trial.
My daughter is healthy and athletic since her heart was corrected, and my grandson, though sometimes hevily bandaged, is very active in Football and Wresteling.
The first step to happiness is asking for help either as a PTSD victim or family member GO FOR IT!

I am the daughter of Henry Rael who passed on 01/07/2010.He was 101st Airborne 327th. I guess writing this I hoped to find a sense of peace because the war still is taking from us it took my dad at 61. I miss him everyday and feel so cheated. I want you to know though what a hero my dad was to us. For 31 years he suffered and never once complained. Agent Orange took my brothers legs and my dads life. He went to work everyday never abused us never drank never did drugs he put food on the table and a roof over our heads. He never took a handout from anyone to raise my handicapped brother but busted his ass (he even had a crack down the middle as he would say) for his family with two slipped disc in his back. He then lost both right lobes of his lung to cancer in 1992 and five days out of surgery his stubborn butt walked so he could see me graduate. He lived with diabites and hep c., staph infections, degenerative bone disease, arthritis, etc. He also had severe ptsd and a rare bacteria in his blood. He was so angry for all the years he fought to have the US government acknowledge the damage they did but couldn't get disability or aide until he was diagnosed with ptsd. Being proud and strong he was livid and insulted he had to live with this stigmata of being crazy. I used to joke he had the papers to prove it so we could do something like rob a bank and he get away with it cause we had papers he was nuts., My dad fought for his life everyday but at the end he was tired. My dad used to say he was dying didn't I get it I used to tell him well get on with it being my father's daughter it was our way. I asked him one time why he always joked about dying he said because I would take it the hardest but had to be the strongest for everyone else. When he found out his liver turned to cancer he told me I'm getting on with it you going to cry. I told him no they have not said war over so until then deal with it. They only gave him a year and I will be damned he beat it and I did not let him see me cry. It was a sepsis that took him in the end, the bacteria in his blood he got sprayed with in the Agent Orange but even then he fought. My dad lived with survivors guilt and he used to tell me he didn't know if he was the lucky one or the unlucky since he lived and and didn't die in niam. Why didn't God take him but everyone else he cared about. There was not a day he was haunted by the war. My dad always held eveyrone else up and at the end we held him. I remember he told me he was ready to die and I told him I wanted him to live and fight he told me sometimes a good retreat is better than a bad stand and he was tired and weak and was in so much pain and couldn't enjoy life anymore so I told him my world would end but I would help him and it was ok. For all his pain he just closed his eyes and with peace went with God. For all this was his reward a beautiful and merciful death. I didn't cry at the funeral or rosary because he taught me to be strong and this was my honor to him. He got a 21 honor salute. I always thought taps would make me cry at the moment but it made me so very proud! When they took his flag off my heart broke. My dad wasn't embalmed and he said he would go back to the earth which he came. Despite all his suffering he had so much faith. They let us see him which they were not supposed to and I'll be damned he had a smile on his face. the only insult is the National Cemetary in Santa Fe, New Mexico refused use a white stone and said it would be 3500 to put one. I've written the governer, the senator to no avail, see the white stones block the view of the snobs who don't value the price you all paid so they could be fee (damn hippies) I guess the war is still making us suffer. I just want you to know he was proud to serve with all of you and carried all of you everyday, but he was a hero to us in every other way. Thank you for letting me write this.

I may well go to hell for saying this but I'll do it; I'm sure that hell will be there one way or the other. At what point in time did we become friendly with what I still refer to as the enemy. At any given time they would have killed us and the reverse is true. Most of those reading this know what went on "over there". I watch specials on the tube about vets returning to the "Nam" and re-living their experience..wow. To each his own. Given the chance, I would rather have a shit covered punji stick stuck up my ass and not have a dust off within two days flight time. I guess there is no milk of human kindness in my veins but I do not understand. As things turn out I find that my time there was at once the worst time of my life and possibly the best thing that ever happened to me. I spent my time there with some of the finest people I have ever known and I don't mean to offend anyone but I felt the need to speak my mind on this and I just did. Bless all of those that returned and especially those that did not.

I just spent the last month (June) in Vietnam. I visited several areas including Tuy Hoa. I was with B Company 2/327 from June-December, 1966. I was able to interview several South Vietnamese Soldiers and civilians who were in the area during the Battle at Trung Luong, June 19th-23rd. I was put in contact with a formed NVA who fought at the Trung Luong Battle as well as the attack on Hill 86 in September 17th 1966. He was a private with the 18th B (PAVN) Regiment. I am the mist of writing my next book about the Trung Luong battle. To my 2/327th colleagues: I have pictures of Trung Luong 1-2-3, Hill 258 and of Hill 86(which is completely overgrown) I will place excerpts of my writing on line for those that are interested. It was quite an experience to speak to an NVA, now retired Captain due to wounds, who was involved in both attacks and has a very good memory of both. One of his comments was about the heavy rain that allowed the sapper unit to come up Hill 86 undetected. 2 companies of the 18th B regiment and 1 Main force Unit (30th from the 302 Pavn Division were involved in the attack, according to his recollection. More later.

Those that remember June 22 1971. Alpha Co. 1st platoon, 1/327 and the murder of Marshall Miller.
I have been in contact with his cousins in Phoenix.
The person that murdered him is Oscar Martinez. He served approx 20 years in Leavenworth. Not sure how I feel about that. Marshall was my best friend in country and when I went on R&R; I talked him into taking over my radio for the platoon leader. If I wasn't able to get anyone I wasn't going to get to go on R&R.; That R&R; was when I married my wife 40 years ago. I was one day away from returning when Martinez locked and loaded on Marsh over some C-Rats.
I really want to find someone that was there to talk with them to find out exactly what happenend that day. For me and Marsh's family.

In July 1971 on FSB Binh Dinh my unit (B Btry 2/11) and a platoon from the 327th occupied this bald hill about 3km from Vegal. The unit had their mortar platoon with them and one of the tubes exploded killing several soldiers, two which were leaving the next few days going home. I have pictures of the platoon (before the explosion), and several members of the unit, they flew a Texas Flag above their Fire Direction Center.

If anyone knows of any surviving family members who would like pictures I would consider it an honor to send them the pictures that I have. If its any help we got hit by a Typhoon the night before the incident and it rained like it was going to turn the entire valley into a lake.

I have approximaly 20 pictures of the area around the small fire base, and many of those pictures include the great infantry soldiers from the 327th that provided us security.

I remain, a Redleg, tried and true. But there is nothing like "No Slack". They saved my gun sections bacon, on more than one occasion.

Respectfully, Command Sergeant Major (Retired) H.E. Lewis, Field Artillery.

Today, May 4, is a very important day for approximately 40 of us who started at Camp Crockett through jump school and ended up in Bravo Company 2/327. I would like to pay special tribute to Achoe and Holler and the many others who did not get to come home. Having just had the opportunity to talk to some of the guys I was in Nam with, it made me feel so good. I sincerely hope some day we all get to see each other again.
