Good Day,
84-86 I served in Co.C (ABN) 5/327th INF, Ft.Richarson, AK. The 327th was part of the 172nd. Co C, 4/5/6 were ABN units. When the 172nd deactivated in 86 and became the 6th Light INF BDE what became of the three ABN companies? I thought they became part of the 82nd, am I correct? If so, what BDE?

I was with 2nd-327th E-Co from March 1970 thru April 1971. First half with FDC (MOS 11C) on T-hawk and Phu Loc District. I was at Phu Loc when the sappers hit T-hawk in June 70. I later transfered to Headquaters as (MOS 11B) and was back on T-hawk most of the time.
I am friends with a Vietnamese couple that came to the States in 64, now retired, he is from Hue and she is from Saigon. He sends me news about Vietnam. Maybe some day we can get back there. Now a lot of the AO along the Gulf has turned into resorts.

I was in Nam aug 70 aug 71, E company 2/327 mortars. Nick name Buddha. while in Nam, I got a Huey tail rotor chain. I have worn it for over 34 years. the only times it has come off my wrist was if it needed some TLC. been through several operations. the docs said take it off. I say it doesnt come off. my shrink at the VA says its my guilt from Nam. maybe it is but now it is in bad shape. I have been at the flightline at Fort Campbell during the last reunion and asked all the mechanics it they have a piece of chain. none of the crews had one. I have contacted many other places but none had any. I am asking if my brothers know of anyone who may have a piece of of rotor chain. I need about 8 inches. it would mean a lot to me and my guilt to find the chain. if anyone has a piece call my home 973 839 2208 Thanks Welcome home

I was in Nam aug 70 aug 71, E company 2/327 mortars. Nick name Buddha. while in Nam, I got a Huey tail rotor chain. I have worn it for over 34 years. the only times it has come off my wrist was if it needed some TLC. been through several operations. the docs said take it off. I say it doesnt come off. my shrink at the VA says its my guilt from Nam. maybe it is but now it is in bad shape. I have been at the flightline at Fort Campbell during the last reunion and asked all the mechanics it they have a piece of chain. none of the crews had one. I have contacted many other places but none had any. I am asking if my brothers know of anyone who may have a piece of of rotor chain. I need about 8 inches. it would mean a lot to me and my guilt to find the chain. if anyone has a piece call my home 973 839 2208 Thanks Welcome home

They have a great Chapter with about 100 members. I have just recently moved from Tampa to Pompano Beach and I am a member of that chapter.The people to contact are Dick Pack at e-mail [email protected] or call (941) 722-1330 he is President of the Chapter or call, e-mail Jack Noland as he is our Chapter Secretary.

Cco.Dco. 1-327th 2001 to 2005. I like the fact that they have a site so that vets can contact each other, i dont like how most of the pics of the Iraq War are of the the General or some Col. What about the guys that were actually out there doing the fighting? What about the guys who were there on day one? Perhaps you need an area where people can submit pics if you dont have any. And who the hell is this Tiffany chick and who are all those guys in those pics, sure dont look like infantrymen, why are they on the page? Perhaps you should get some Infantryman putting pics on instead of some support group. Makes sense right? It would be nice for soldiers to come to our battalions page and relive some memories, not come here and see absolutely nothing. Page is WEAK!!!

First I hope everyone has happy holidays.
I was medic with C co 2/327 in 1967. Was thinking about my Vietnam experience this morning. I had Malaria and came back out to the field to soon, one day I could not keep up and fell behing on a long hump. A member of the platoon stayed behind with me, I often wonder what happened to him, His name was Cole, and he was from Michigan. Obviously we made it and caught up with the rest of the guys. I also had some friends in the medical clearing station in the rear area, Lynch was from NJ,Gudlap from RI, Dostal and a guy whose nickname was Fannie,I am pretty sure the last 2 extended to go to the LRRP platoon. I would apreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about any of these folks.

Hi, again! I originally posted a note on this site 10/07...page 17 I think...asking if anyone was a person of prayer to remember my son who was currently serving in Iraq with C-Co 1/327th INF. Now I would like to thank all of you who were faithful in that request...as he served 15 months at Patrol Base Woodcock and returned 11/08 without physical injury! Thanks be to God, Protecter of us all! I am proud of my soldier...they were on the front line this deployment...it wasnt easy and Im sure, not pleasant at times. I have posted his photo on www.soldierwall.com His name is John Luke Boyles...page 57...line...849...photo # 6 Page 57..line...849..photo#7 is Ryan Campbell his best friend...C-Co 2/327th INF NO SLACK! I have some photos on my profile on myspace in my "Soldier" albumn. My profile is public if you want to check it out: www.myspace.com/kellyboyles1962 Thanks to ALL of you who have served...carry on, soldiers!

I read a message from Robert (Bob) Keck from Tampa, FL. I commanded Charlie Company during the period of May 1967 to September 1967 and if Bob is interested in connecting with fellow 327th troopers he should join the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the 101st Association. They have a great Chapter with about 100 members. I have just recently moved from Tampa to Pompano Beach and I am a member of that chapter.The people to contact are Dick Pack at e-mail [email protected] or call (941) 722-1330 he is President of the Chapter or call, e-mail Jack Noland as he is our Chapter Secretary. His info is e-mail [email protected], tele (727) 797-7706. You can also call me at (954) 532-0722. NFS!!

Cco.Dco. 1-327th 2001 to 2005. I like the fact that they have a site so that vets can contact each other, i dont like how most of the pics of the Iraq War are of the the General or some Col. What about the guys that were actually out there doing the fighting? What about the guys who were there on day one? Perhaps you need an area where people can submit pics if you dont have any. And who the hell is this Tiffany chick and who are all those guys in those pics, sure dont look like infantrymen, why are they on the page? Perhaps you should get some Infantryman putting pics on instead of some support group. Makes sense right? It would be nice for soldiers to come to our battalions page and relive some memories, not come here and see absolutely nothing. Page is WEAK!!!

First I hope everyone has happy holidays.
I was medic with C co 2/327 in 1967. Was thinking about my Vietnam experience this morning. I had Malaria and came back out to the field to soon, one day I could not keep up and fell behing on a long hump. A member of the platoon stayed behind with me, I often wonder what happened to him, His name was Cole, and he was from Michigan. Obviously we made it and caught up with the rest of the guys. I also had some friends in the medical clearing station in the rear area, Lynch was from NJ,Gudlap from RI, Dostal and a guy whose nickname was Fannie,I am pretty sure the last 2 extended to go to the LRRP platoon. I would apreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about any of these folks.

Over the holidays I was looking at all the photos on the web site. The 39mm anti-aircraft gun that was in the rear area Camp Eagle brought back some memories. I was walking slack for Benavidez when he found the cache. We marked up all the boobie traps with t.p. Benavidez told me it was going to turn into a easter egg hunt and the further away from the cache we could get the better. By the time the day was over we had loaded eight people into one medivac. Ill never forget the look of fear on the face of the pilot of the slick when we loaded that gun into his bird the next day. Our Kit Carson scout assembled the gun the next time we were in the rear for a stand down.
Now on to new memories, I have talked with or have contact information for the following members of the 3rd Platoon 68 & 69. Alva Shirley, Martin Hoogterp, Arvest Sparks, Freddie Fulford,
Henry M. Johnson, Cliford Gibson, Lennie Naughton, Roger Kinzer, James Gilbeaux, Rod Ledger, Tom Murrary, Doc. Olson, Micheal Guest, and Doug Bergman. We are still looking Rebel Tom Odom, Benavidez, Garcia, and Chavez and many more. Call or email with information 904-613-2440

Since finding this website and posting my entry yesterday, I have roamed around the site and noted several entries and a page by Donald (Curly) Jackson of Texas, who died in a motorcycle accident on July 4 of this year, and a page by Garry Wilhelmi (of Iowa, I believe). Curly and Garry were both in my platoon. Curly was a first-rate soldier. Did everything that was asked of him and never complained. He was popular and respected by all. Garry was my RTO and had important talents. He could light two cigarettes while calling for mortar illumination whenever we blew a bush during those rainy nights in Phu Loc District. He could also climb trees to take azimuths back to Roy or Tomahawk when we were up in the mountains during dry season. Best wishes to Curlys survivors and to Garry. I also found Robert Kellers name in the roster. Bob had second platoon when I had third. Weve since exchanged emails and I sent him a picture of the two of us that I had in an old album. Truthfully, I dont think about those days very much, but this has been an interesting look backward, and I want to thank the guys responsible for the website.

I was the platoon leader of 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 2/327 from October 1969 to May 1970. My first night ambush was on the railroad tracks at Nuoc Noc on Halloween night, 1969. My Platoon Sergeant was Nelson Morris. After being Platoon leader, I commanded E company until I derosed at the end of August. I was responsible for the recon platoon, the snipers, the mortars, and defense of the TOC. To those guys who were writing about the attack on FSB Tomahawk in June, as I recall the CO was Cox. The First Sergant was a lifer named Dearman. To all of you, I say "No Slack!"

Now on to new memories, I have talked with or have contact information for the following members of the 3rd Platoon 68 & 69. Alva Shirley, Martin Hoogterp, Arvest Sparks, Freddie Fulford,
Henry M. Johnson, Cliford Gibson, Lennie Naughton, Roger Kinzer, James Gilbeaux, Rod Ledger, Tom Murrary, Doc. Olson, Micheal Guest, and Doug Bergman. We are still looking Rebel Tom Odom, Benavidez, Garcia, and Chavez and many more. Call or email with information 904-613-2440

Since finding this website and posting my entry yesterday, I have roamed around the site and noted several entries and a page by Donald (Curly) Jackson of Texas, who died in a motorcycle accident on July 4 of this year, and a page by Garry Wilhelmi (of Iowa, I believe). Curly and Garry were both in my platoon. Curly was a first-rate soldier. Did everything that was asked of him and never complained. He was popular and respected by all. Garry was my RTO and had important talents. He could light two cigarettes while calling for mortar illumination whenever we blew a bush during those rainy nights in Phu Loc District. He could also climb trees to take azimuths back to Roy or Tomahawk when we were up in the mountains during dry season. Best wishes to Curlys survivors and to Garry. I also found Robert Kellers name in the roster. Bob had second platoon when I had third. Weve since exchanged emails and I sent him a picture of the two of us that I had in an old album. Truthfully, I dont think about those days very much, but this has been an interesting look backward, and I want to thank the guys responsible for the website.

I was the platoon leader of 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 2/327 from October 1969 to May 1970. My first night ambush was on the railroad tracks at Nuoc Noc on Halloween night, 1969. My Platoon Sergeant was Nelson Morris. After being Platoon leader, I commanded E company until I derosed at the end of August. I was responsible for the recon platoon, the snipers, the mortars, and defense of the TOC. To those guys who were writing about the attack on FSB Tomahawk in June, as I recall the CO was Cox. The First Sergant was a lifer named Dearman. To all of you, I say "No Slack!"

Ive searched and searched and still cannot find a soldier I was in Bootcamp with back in 98. His name was Henry Johnson III. We were in Airborne bootcamp in Ft. Jackson, SC and probably graduated in Nov 98. I know that in the early 2000s, he was working on a base in North Carolina, and was in touch with him, but we lost touch. Hes probably about 28-30 yrs of age, married and last I heard had a daughter early in the 2000s when I visited him in NC. Id really like to know if he is ok. Thanks! Please email at [email protected] if anyone has any info.

Joes kids in Texas were isolated from our father thanks to his wife Marilyn--she refused his dying wish to be buried with his son, Vincent @ Ft Sam Cemetary in SA Tx--a desire of his for his lifetime--not to mention--she married him to defy and dishonor him. His children in Texas miss and love him with all that we have--my info is posted if you want to know the truth. And one thing for sure--my daddy was a hell of a soldier

Went to Nam on the Leroy Eltinge with the 1st Brigade, 1st Battalion/ 327th Infantry. Was in the 4 deuce mortar platoon in Headquarters Co. Operated mostly with A Co. as RTO for Sgt. Bobby R. Salt. Anyone remember him? We also went out with Tiger Force.
It is interesting how Tiger Force was created. Back at Cambell in the old army each battalion in their Headquarters Co. had a ground radar platoon and something called a Davey Crocket platoon. The Davey Crocket platoon was a mortar platoon with atomic warhead capability. The guys in these platoons had highly specialised skills. Both of these platoons were designed for use in Europe. In Nam the radar wouldnt work in the jungle. It was designed for the plains of Central Europe. The army wasnt going to use tactical nukes either.
The troopers in both of these platoons were used to form the original Tiger Force for battalion recon. Needless to say they were less than pleased to become ground pounding line animals.

Been on this site for years. Served with Company C 2nd battalion 1st squad 1st platoon NO SLACK. Found several squad and platoon members and have had contact. Its great to talk the talk with men(boys)who I served with. I remember coming off Bach Ma Mountain on the north slope when we encountered a 500 lb unexploded bomb just sittin there along a small fast moving stream. A monkey was sitting on it. Strange how memories come back in spurts and such. I believe, but not sure, we told some dudes on Camp Eagle and they had some engineers blow it to keep the gooks from getting at the good stuff............davidwilliamson AKA BLUE

Went to Nam on the Leroy Eltinge with the 1st Brigade, 1st Battalion/ 327th Infantry. Was in the 4 deuce mortar platoon in Headquarters Co. Operated mostly with A Co. as RTO for Sgt. Bobby R. Salt. Anyone remember him? We also went out with Tiger Force.
It is interesting how Tiger Force was created. Back at Cambell in the old army each battalion in their Headquarters Co. had a ground radar platoon and something called a Davey Crocket platoon. The Davey Crocket platoon was a mortar platoon with atomic warhead capability. The guys in these platoons had highly specialised skills. Both of these platoons were designed for use in Europe. In Nam the radar wouldnt work in the jungle. It was designed for the plains of Central Europe. The army wasnt going to use tactical nukes either.
The troopers in both of these platoons were used to form the original Tiger Force for battalion recon. Needless to say they were less than pleased to become ground pounding line animals.

Been on this site for years. Served with Company C 2nd battalion 1st squad 1st platoon NO SLACK. Found several squad and platoon members and have had contact. Its great to talk the talk with men(boys)who I served with. I remember coming off Bach Ma Mountain on the north slope when we encountered a 500 lb unexploded bomb just sittin there along a small fast moving stream. A monkey was sitting on it. Strange how memories come back in spurts and such. I believe, but not sure, we told some dudes on Camp Eagle and they had some engineers blow it to keep the gooks from getting at the good stuff............davidwilliamson AKA BLUE

Served with Delta Co., 2nd platoon, 2/327. Nickname "Richie". Under the Vietnam, 2nd battalion,companies, D Company, Delta 69-70 There is a group photo with 2 Scouts (Kien and Tu). I believe photo was taken morning after we sprung an ambush in Jan 70 (My third day in the field!) I am in the Right Rear of the photo without a helmet. Just in front of me is Tom Spier. We just came in country together. I feel sad as I dont remember any of the other names. One of the others had a nickname of Bruneau but Im not sure. Would like to know if any of you have contracted Type II diabetes like I have. Seems to be common among Viet Vets. Be Healthy and No Slack.

I was with C Co., 1st Platoon, 1/327th in 69-70. Its almost 40 years ago and theres not a day goes by that I dont think of my brothers and what we went through. I feel so guilty because I can still see their faces but cant remember all the names. Everyone had a nickname, usually given to a "cherry" by someone who had been in the field for awhile. My mentors were Nevin "Zeke" Warner from Montana, Dennis "Gip" Gipson from Texas and Jerry Gallaway from Utah. Thanks guys for teaching me how to stay alive, youre always in my prayers. Also Johnny Meggesey, Lopez, D.J. Alexander, Willie Stokes, Pineapple, I love you all. Is anyone out there? Id be very greatful to hear from anyone. I got Malaria towards the end of my tour and was Medevacd out of the AShau. Never got the chance to say goodbye. Jimmy "the Greek" Austin, Royal Palm Beach, FL.

Erick here again: Gary, you can forgive yourself for being medevacked that day. You paid your dues up to that minute and afterwards in the hospitals trying to heal. That could have been Travis Shattle and me lying up there shot to pieces and full of shrapnel. You and Mike might have saved our lives by taking over point at that particular moment.

My husband is currently serving a 15 month tour in Iraq, and we have a couple of signs in our yard. They are bright yellow No Slack signs that also say that I love my screaming eagle. I show these signs in support of my husband and his fellow soldiers. I used to be a soldier myself at Fort Campbell, but I was in an MP company, 194th MP of the 716th MP BN. We met in the military, and between the two of us in the last 3 and a half years, we have done 3 tours in Iraq. We are excited to both be civilians again, but the 327th has been pretty good to my husband. These signs affect people in different ways. Sometimes I go outside and they are knocked down or across the yard because of people who do not support us. Then for the first time today, a man stopped in and told me he was surprised by the sign and had to do a double take, so he turned around and stopped in. He said he was in the 327 years ago in Delta company. I believe he said his last name was Carpenter, sorry if I have mistaken this name or spelled it wrong. I really appreciated his short visit, it was nice to see that people still respect and support our military members. I believe that many people, more the younger generations, take for granted their freedom because they have never see first hand what people fight for to get that freedom. Times have changed, and now the government has to beg for people to join by using incentives and bonuses. When just a few decades ago, it was normal for everyone to serve a few years, and the draft was used. Now days the draft is treated like the plague, and soldiers have to be stop loss to fulfill the numbers for the war. My husband was supposed to be out of the army last november, but he was kept on active duty for a 15 month deployment and left only 2 weeks after our first son was born. If more people were willing to fight for freedom and serve even a few years in the military, my husband would be here right now. I am glad that both of us have served for our country and fought for freedom, but I would like to see it mandatory for everyone to serve even just one year in the military. Its only one year of someones life, and we all know that one year goes by so fast! Anyways, I appreciate the 327, and the people who serve our country as well as those people who support our troops!

I absolutly love this website. My uncle was Donald "curly" Jackson. He served in VietNam in 69-70. He lost his life on July 4th 2008. I wish he was still here with us. I miss him terribly. My heart is broken. I loved to talk to him and listen to his stories about VietNam and his "buddies" from his platoon. He loved you all dearly. He also loved his country and had said several times that if he could do it again he would. I want to say thanks to all the guys and gals that have served in our armed forces. I am eternally grateful for your sacrifices. May GOD BLESS and forever hold you in his hands and give you peace. If anyone knows my uncle, would you please email me. I would love to here stories about him. When he died, so did all the information that he took with him. People my age and our children need to keep your memories alive. I would love to here all the stories that i can from anyone that knew him. Thanks again all Veterans for my freedoms.

Hey
Just to say hello and let you know that Eric was my Uncle and I mourn his loss each day since 1967. He has always been a hero in my life as I was 8 when he was killed. What a lean man he was, went to boot camp and came back a man with honor in his eyes for his comrades and his country.
There are so many things I wanted to know about him and I still hear my dad keeps in touch with Terry Whiley. How great that Terry came back with Eric to be with us all. If you remember him, have photos of him or can just say hey please let me know.
Know that you are all a part of that day, a part of his life and yes a part of his death.
God Bless

To BG Hodges
Dear Sir, I saw your post on the 327infantry.org guestbook and recognized your name immediately. Your leadership as a company commander left an indelible mark on my life as a soldier and greatly influenced my developing leadership style. You knew how to pull the best out of us and made us proud of doing it.
It was late Nov 86 when I reported to Cold Steel, you and Skeletor {1LT McKree?} came in from the field all muddy and tired, {I guess that happens when you lead from the front} and even though you were busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest you took the time to welcome the new guy. You told SSG Preston E. Holmes to look after me and get me settled in. I became 1SG Rosados driver and you gave me the freedom to do what it took to get that old jeep back in usable condition. You even gave me an Army Achievement Medal for making it through an entire deployment through the mudfields of Arnold Airbase. While prepping the jeep for a new paint job I had sprayed red primer on all the bare metal and sharp corners and just my luck we got alerted to the field before the darn thing could get repainted. Col Haluski saw us and from a distance I heard him asking you about our camouflage having red stripes in it. I dont know how bad you got fussed at but all you said to me was some praise for using initiative and taking care of our equipment, adding that I should get it fixed as soon as possible. I still have my lateral promotion to corporal orders when you made me an NCO and I proudly wore my stripes for the first time at our company dining in. How many company commanders would take an evening off in the middle of a 14 day field exercise and bus our families and girlfriends out to meet us for a weenie roast?, I remember when you did. You gave me my first fire team under SFC Smith in 3rd Herd with Sgt Glass and Cpl Bertram. The training was never easy but you made us feel like we could do it and have us asking for more.Years later I answered the phone at battalion HQ when you called to talk to our commander. Although time had passed and you commanded a battalion of your own you remembered one of your old soldiers and asked about my family.
Ive had commanders that would be offended by what Ive said here. They would be outraged that a lowly Sergeant would dare presume to say well done to a General Officer but frankly I dont think they have much to worry about. While in your command you made us feel more like we were serving with you than under you so I know you will accept this letter for the simple thank you that it is. Under your command, Duty Honor Country was tangible and Above the Rest was a way of life.

Your leadership as a company commander left an indelible mark on my life as a soldier and greatly influenced my developing leadership style. You knew how to pull the best out of us and made us proud of doing it.
It was late Nov 86 when I reported to Cold Steel, you and Skeletor {1LT McKree?} came in from the field all muddy and tired, {I guess that happens when you lead from the front} and even though you were busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest you took the time to welcome the new guy. You told SSG Preston E. Holmes to look after me and get me settled in. I became 1SG Rosados driver and you gave me the freedom to do what it took to get that old jeep back in usable condition. You even gave me an Army Achievement Medal for making it through an entire deployment through the mudfields of Arnold Airbase. While prepping the jeep for a new paint job I had sprayed red primer on all the bare metal and sharp corners and just my luck we got alerted to the field before the darn thing could get repainted. Col Haluski saw us and from a distance I heard him asking you about our camouflage having red stripes in it. I dont know how bad you got fussed at but all you said to me was some praise for using initiative and taking care of our equipment, adding that I should get it fixed as soon as possible. I still have my lateral promotion to corporal orders when you made me an NCO and I proudly wore my stripes for the first time at our company dining in. How many company commanders would take an evening off in the middle of a 14 day field exercise and bus our families and girlfriends out to meet us for a weenie roast?, I remember when you did. You gave me my first fire team under SFC Smith in 3rd Herd with Sgt Glass and Cpl Bertram. The training was never easy but you made us feel like we could do it and have us asking for more.Years later I answered the phone at battalion HQ when you called to talk to our commander. Although time had passed and you commanded a battalion of your own you remembered one of your old soldiers and asked about my family.
Ive had commanders that would be offended by what Ive said here. They would be outraged that a lowly Sergeant would dare presume to say well done to a General Officer but frankly I dont think they have much to worry about. While in your command you made us feel more like we were serving with you than under you so I know you will accept this letter for the simple thank you that it is. Under your command, Duty Honor Country was tangible and Above the Rest was a way of life.

I was stationed at the 8th RRFS in Phu Bai from May 69-May 70. My good friend Perry Schexnaydre was on a mission with the 1st/327th that landed in Cam Ranh and secured targets up country for engineers to build bridges etc. prior to Tet 68. He would like to attend a future reunion. How can he become a member of this website or find out info regarding when and where future reunions of the 1st/327th in Viet Nam will be held? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give me with this.

It is true what they say, only a combat vet understands another combat vet. Never knew how screwed up I really am. I am very proud I served with the 101st. I have a large collection of Eagles. I have a tatoo of an Eagle in his talons in a Viet Nam service ribbon shaped like a circle. I miss the guys in my platoon think of them all the time. Ive been to 4 reunions but never met any one I knew.

March 28th, 1963. Most of my friends went to Viet Nam but since they
reformed the unit into a battallion I dont know what happened to the
men of Mortar Battery. Were they transfered out or were they part of
the 1st Battalion? Does any one know how I can find these guys?
While I cant remember most of the names I would know them if I saw a
list or pictures.

On this 40th anniversary of his death, my brothers and sisters would really appreciate knowing more about his death and any stories you may have of his service in VN and especially if you have a picture (or pictures) you can share.
On behalf of a grateful family, thank you for your service to our country!

I had the very distinct honor of leading the fine soldier patriots of Company C (The Cold Steel Cobras) of the First Battalion in the mid to late 1980s and I served with some of the finest soldiers, non-commissioned officers and officers in the Army. I have seen some of their names on these pages (such as Chris Hughes, Ben Hodges, Jim DiCrocco) and it fills me with pride to having worn the Screaming Eagle patch.
I am also filled with pride when I read about the great soldiers of our regiment and what they have accomplished -- and are accomplishing now fulfilling their own Rendezvous with Destiny and I am reminded of the words of George Orwell who said: People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
I am thankful to have such capable 327th regimental soldiers, those rough men Orwell spoke about, keeping our nation safe by taking the fight to our enemies. Thank God for the 327th Infantry Regiment.

I am the Photo Editor for Vietnam Magazine and really like the photo of Fire Base Berchtesgaden that is on your site. I was wondering if I could get this sent as a high resolution scanned image for use in our October issue-we are doing an article on Operation Delaware/A Shau Valley.
Thank you,
Guy Nasuti

HONORING OUR BROTHER: Jon R. Honrath
I would like to thank Mike Verrengia for putting us in contact with two members of A/1/327 (Steve Black and Doug Larabel) who served with my brother PFC Jon R. Honrath. Jon was killed in August 1967 just 9 days after his 19th birthday.
On this 40th anniversary of his death, my brothers and sisters would really appreciate knowing more about his death and any stories you may have of his service in VN and especially if you have a picture (or pictures) you can share.
On behalf of a grateful family, thank you for your service to our country!
A fellow soldier forever,
Joseph E. Honrath, Jr. LTC, Infantry (Retired)

I would like to personally thank all of you, who have been kind enough to respond to my requests about Jon "Little Jon" Honrath (kia 8-17-67). I was able to connect a few of you who were Jons squad mates, with his surviving family. I will be giving Jon a special recognition at our high schools 40th reunion on July 26, 2008. Again thank you for your help, and your brave service to our great country.

I had the very distinct honor of leading the fine soldier patriots of Company C (The Cold Steel Cobras) of the First Battalion in the mid to late 1980s and I served with some of the finest soldiers, non-commissioned officers and officers in the Army. I have seen some of their names on these pages (such as Chris Hughes, Ben Hodges, Jim DiCrocco) and it fills me with pride to having worn the Screaming Eagle patch.
I am also filled with pride when I read about the great soldiers of our regiment and what they have accomplished -- and are accomplishing now fulfilling their own Rendezvous with Destiny and I am reminded of the words of George Orwell who said: People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
I am thankful to have such capable 327th regimental soldiers, those rough men Orwell spoke about, keeping our nation safe by taking the fight to our enemies. Thank God for the 327th Infantry Regiment.

I am responding to TOM CARPENTERS guest book entry made on 05/13/08. You spoke of a CLIFF TARBELL in your guest book entry. I was an RTO in 1970 with "D" 2/327 and we had a CLIFFORD TARBELL KIA on 10APR70 from a booby trap. Since you had gone home, thought you might not known about it. He was a Great pointman and missed every day.
