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!

Served with C 2/327 70-71. I didn't arrive in Camp Eagle AO until October '70 so we probably missed each other, Jerry. But I believe your company CO was Cpt. David Fletcher. He is my neighbor here in Prescott, AZ if you'd want to reach out. Welcome home, brother

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.
