It is with a heavy heart and much sorrow,that I advise of the passing of Charles "Chuck" McIver. Chuck was a member of the "Hawk-Platoon" and served with much honor and valor. I had the honor of serving with him for much of my 1st tour. Chuck passed away on the night of 11-29-09 after a short bout with cancer. The memorial was attended by many, fellow 'Hawks" were their to say good-bye. J.B. Moorehouse and I attended and said a few words for all-Hawks who were with him. Chuck will be missed by all. Please keep Chuck and Sharon in your prayers. God Bless,stay safe.

Forty-one years ago this week (Dec '68) I was medivaced from Co B,2/327th. I was always a cherry! Finished my tour as a DI at Ft. Ord; on weekends I often traveled into SF to see rock greats at the Fillmore, or Led Zepelin at Winterland, and Ike and Tina with the Rolling Stones in Oakland Coliseum. Word came from the top not to use "Lulu" marching songs because they were offensive to women. I replaced Lulu with Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance". There was never as much esprit de corps with "Peace" as there was with "I Want To Be An Airborne Ranger"! NFS

I happened upon Ted McCormack's story after searching for info. on Hill 882. A show on the military channel made me research the battle I served with 1st Plt.Company B, 1/327th. I arrived on Hill 882 new(less than a week) in country sometime in May. I had forgotten most of the names of buddies, unit # etc. until I read his story. The only names I remembered was Erick's, Ed's and Forrest, and then Capt. Terrible Terry and Lt. Shultz when I read the story.
I recall most of his story about the battle on 882 in that May. A lot of it was a daze for me since I arrived with some other new replacements for the unit. It's amazing how now I recall some other names, details etc. I was in country with the unit until early February 1971.
As a "shake and Bake" NCO I later became squad leader(not sure which squad) and even platoon sgt. for several weeks because we had no E-6's or E-7's for a time. I had no problem remembering a lot of the events and faces but names seemed to escape me. I hope to hear from anyone who served during that time. I have not done a lot of research regarding exact dates but intend on finding out a lot more in the coming weeks.

4o years ago this Thanksgiving I had turkey at a mess hall in Bien Hua, then again on the airplane over the ocean. I arrived at Travis around 7 or 8 PM, called a buddie and he came and picked me up. He drove me to my folks house and surprised everyone. Had turkey dinner again before midnight. So three times in one day, three different places in the world. The previous week my mother had someone (my buddies) take her to Travis to watch every plane land, my flight was the first she had missed.

I pray all is well with all of my platoon and company members and all that I met and knew in the military.

HI Guys and Gals-I have helped many Vietan vets to reenter life after Nam. It is a bitch. A vet taught me that people don't care and don't understand. Don't expect them to. They can't as they have not lived, loved and lost. If they want to hear don't turn them off. It is a start.

Google the 20 uses of turmeric. Check out secondopinionnewsletters.com for alternative health solutions to our health concerns. It has helped me.

Dear Brothers and Sister of the Guest Book

Some of you men knew No Slack Delta Tom Hempel who was KIA'd off FSB Los Banos on 15 July 1969. Tom and I were from the same hometown, Lincoln, Nebraska and we talked about home and looking each other up after Vietnam. He was killed two weeks before his DEROS.

Years later I wrote a story about Tom Hempel and through this story, I met his hometown girlfriend whom he wrote while he was in the service. Her name was Sharon Bremer, who eventually married and kept the married name DeNino. Tom was high school Class of '65 and she was Class of '68. Both went to Northeast High School in Lincoln. I was Class of 65 and went to Lincoln High School so I did not know either until later.

Sharon saved his letters which developed into love letters. She shared them with me and they are very moving. She was devistated with his death.

I learned today that Sharon (Bremer) DeNino, age 59, passed on 31 May 09. She had been a mental health counselor in the Lincoln and Hastings Nebraska areas for her career. I knew she had literally dropped out of site but I was not aware that it was caused by her death. I have been unable to learn anything about the cause of death.

I have an ongoing project to gather additional information to add to / rewrite the Tribute to Thomas Hempel. Any additional info or comments about Tom Hempel and/or Sharon Bremer DeNino, I would appreciate. Over the years, some of you have given me information for the rewrite and I have filed it away. I have reached a point in my life where I am writing again.

Sharon had become a friend and encourager to me. I hope to talk to her sons, family and business associates as I do the Hempel rewrite. I have lost a friend.

Honor and Country

The location where BG Anthony McAuliffe answered the Germans demand to surrender with "NUTS" may become a prison. Help save this historical location by writting a few letters and asking your friends to help. Go to http://www.screamingeagle.org in the Recent News section.

I was with Delta Co. 1/327th from April 68 to Sept 68. Sgt Herman saved me more than once.
I was slightly wounded on Aug 15th when He came to my rescue then he was wounded and that was the last time I saw him. This was on Hill 1100 out of A Shau Valley. After this mission there was only
22 of us left out of the Company. Two weeks later when we were reloaded with cherrys I was hit with an RPG round on Aug 29th 1968. I was at 3 different hospitals in Vietnam then was sent to Tokeyo. Thanks "Above the Rest"

FYI: This is a very informative website. Keep up the great work. Also, if any veteran is looking for "inside secrets" to benefits and compensation please visit http://www.veteranprograms.com/id1070.html. The website is the most comprehensive stop on the Internet. Veterans can learn everything they need to know about getting what they have earned. The website also lists VSOs who will help veterans.

Veterans, Male or Female: Divorce sometimes happens, ask me..... Liberal lawyers are after you. Here is the latest info from the RAO Bulletin to help you or YOUR lawyer protect your retirement/entitlement from garnishment. Keep the benefits you earned.
Erick W. Miller
1st 327th INF
RVN 69-70
USFSPA & Divorce Update 10: A bill to protect California disabled veteran's disability compensation from illegal attachment and garnishments was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger on 11 OCT 09. The bill (SB.285), authored by California Senator Rod Wright, was introduced at the request of the California Alliance for Families and Children (CAFC) in cooperation with the American Retirees Association (ARA). It codifies existing federal law, United States Code, Title 38, Section 5301 into the state's statutes to assure it is followed in California state courts. Although federal law is very clear in its wording and intent, civil court judges nationwide have routinely ignored it. The result has been illegal attachments and garnishments of the disability compensation and erroneously calculating veterans' disability compensation into divorce settlements as a divisible asset or income. SB 285 passed California legislature without a single no vote, even though similar efforts in Iowa, West Virginia and Oklahoma have failed so far. Of significance, this new state law provides precedent for all other states to follow and enact similar additional safeguards for their disabled veterans. Also, it can be a precursor for state legislation to modify state divorce laws to protect garnishments for USFSPA as is underway in Oklahoma with H.B.1053. CAFC announced they have already received commitments from legislators in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to follow the California lead.

Retirees who are impacted by the Uniformed Services Former Spouses� Protection Act (USFSPA) and/or concerned about protecting their disability compensation concerns should be aware of the USFSPA Liberation Support Group (ULSG). Their mission is to support the rights of all service members active-duty/retired/ Guard & Reserve military members, Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in challenging the USFSPA, Pub. L. No. 97-252, 96 Stat. 730 (1982), currently codified as amended at 10 U.S.C. § 1408. This law, hastily passed by our Congress without forethought and little discussion, invalidated the United States Supreme Court's 1981 majority 6-3 ruling (McCARTY v. McCARTY , 453 U.S. 210 1981) that asserted military retirement/retainer pay is not subject to division as common property in state divorce proceedings. ULSG challenges the USFSPA in our courts system, strongly urges the US Congress of the United States to repeal this unjust law, and informs the Media to overcome this injustice to all service men and woman who unselfishly have served their country and have earned the sole right to their retainer/retired pay vice being treated as common property during divorce. Retirees with ideas or concerns regarding the USFSPA can contact the following state ULSG representatives:

I did take and have taken good care of my little girl, she survived her childhood cancer, and is just like any other kid except shes more awesome! I think of all you soldeirs often. I have not forgotten what you do. I cannot imagine what some of you have been through, but i know you can do anything if you put your heart into it, I wouldn't be the person i am today without having been a part of 2/327 I am proud of you 2/327inf. I support you always. "NO SLACK"

Need help in locating Linda Hughes who posted an article about Pfc Dunigan and asked if anyone served with him or knew him.She stated that he was in Japan after being wounded.
I was on the LST Navy ship going up to Duc Pho and knew a Pfc Dunigan. In fact, I have a picture of him. I remember he was wounded around DucPho, went to Japan and later heard he drown in a swimming pool. I have tried to e-mail Linda but keep getting a failure notice. Can anyone email her at [email protected] and ask her to cantact me at [email protected] ABU 1/327 Jim Evans

Dear Miss Lokey,

I am the individual who posted the account of the sad incident in which Udon was taken from us. I was saddened to hear your first report that he had no family that could be contacted. Now to hear you have found his family, and especially his 91 year old mother; is a joy to hear.

My mother is 92 and closure is what it all about at that age. Mothers who live to such a beautiful advanced age; have such wisdom and grace. I strongly suspect that Udon's pleasant manner, smile, and the look of acceptance on his face when he knew his situation was perilous; was from his Mom.

I am looking through some pictures that have survived the ravages of time and a life that has had many turns. I have two which could be Udon; but I would want to be sure before I shared them with his family. If you have obtained a picture from his family and would be able to share it; that would wonderful.

Thank you for all your work to bring them home. Udon has been at home in my heart for the past 43 years. If my sharing that connection has brought some measure of closure for his family then Undon and I have completed our long range mission.
Jim W

I got to Vietnam in October 1969 and was at FB Bastogne from Feb-May 1970, at Camp Eagle. I am looking for anyone I served with, especially a radioman known as "Smitty". Was at Camp Eagle, and was a forward observer. I also seem to remember a black Sgt. nicknamed Soupy Sales who was with the 1/83 arty. I don't remember a lot, and would like help remembering, and hooking up with the guys I served with. Trying to work on a VA rating and anything that any of you remember would help.

Thanks

My high school buddy Alfred Saturn "Butch" Najar, Jr. was killed in action on February 24th, 1968. I know he was with the 101st Airborne, 327 Infantry Regiment, C Company or at least I am pretty sure that was his outfit. My question is WHERE was Butch killed while in country? Butch and I were very close friends at Ball High School in Galveston, Texas. We joined the service the same time. He went Army, I went Marine Corp. If anyone could help me with this info I would deeply appreciate it. Go Army - and Semper Fi

I was with the HHT 3rd Sqdn 5th Cav and provided support to the 101st. We went through Bastogne on May 9 and we arrived at Blaze on May 10. My command track originally settled at the top where the 18th Surg Med Tent was set up. Myself and the guys on my track helped offload some of the worst of the wounded during the first couple of days of HH. Then we were moved down closer to the river where a hole was dug out and we parked our track until we pulled out in Sept. I left for rear support at Evans in late August. Our "A" Troop entered the valley in late June and a few of my friends ended up wounded. Anyway, my hat is off to all who served in the 101st.

It's official...I'm finally a resident of Dover, Tennessee now. My trailer arrived Friday at dark and I finished unloading today at noon. Travis Shattle got here too late to help. I'm told that it was an accident.
I'm in a dry county in the Bible Belt. We have deer, turkey, Black Snakes and Box Turtles. What more does a man need besides a garden? It looks like the end of the rainbow to Mikki and me. I hope to see many of you in Crossville next year. I haven't made a reunion since 2006.
Ya'all need to check out Linda Brooks' site 'Digital Beauty Designs'. She posted a lot of the Welcome Home Vietnam Vets pics. Her guest book entry is a couple prior to this message.
If you haven't already read it, get a copy of R. C. Morris' book "Ether Zone" about the clandestine but very real SF Delta Force. It was advertised inside the last 101st Screaming Eagle Magazine. That book is hard to put down.

It is my understanding that so many vets registered that they had to hold the same ceremony 3 times to accommodate all of them. My hat is off to the Commander and Staff who made this event possible

I went to High School with Erik Miller and have recently found his page on this site. My husband Bobby Brooks, was an Army Medic with the 15th Medical Battalion, 1st Cav Division, Airmobile, An Khe 65-66. We recently attended the moving ceremony at Ft Campbell's week of the Eagle held to honor all Vietnam Veterans. I was moved to tears as were most of the attendees, vets and family alike. How proud and grateful we are for Ft. Campbell giving these men the Dignity and Honor they so rightly deserve. It was a true healing mission for those involved.
