I was the artillery forward observer for Bravo Company, 1/327th from March to August 1968. My nickname was Magoo. I have just posted (with the help of David J.) four pages of photos of that period under the Bravo Company link. Although a lot of the photos are Bravo Company specific, many pertain to the 1/327th as a whole as they include photos of FSBs Birmingham, Veghel, Bertschegaden and Operations Delaware and Nevada Eagle. They're posted under "Vietnam-1st Battalion-Companies-Brave Rifle Troops-Jim Kuhlman." Regards.

Thank You for any information you can provide me with.

To the brother concerning the crash of a chinook in 71 before the 101 stood down or about that time.I remember a crash of the chinook where we lost 35 men. I served with must of those men and knew a black kid last name White from Texas I think who was pulled off at last minute due to over crowding.
I don't know where he went next but when the 101 stood down he may have left country then.
I hope that may be of help to you, if you want to talk futher I will be viewing this site from time to time so leave me a message.

June 10, 1970 attack on Tomahawk
Number one I would like to say this is a great website and thanks for letting me write. I was second shift leader in FDC for the 155 battery the night of the attack. We were actually a split battery of only three guns..we were split after a 10 day raid to FSB Pistol around the first of April..the other three were at FSB Arsenal at that time.I tend to agree with John Norman's recent post and an older one by Curtiss Wyman. Our KIA was caused by our own 81mm illum fire. As I recall we had about 6 wounded who were medivaced out right behind me stirring up dust right between the infantry and artillery area.Incoming to T-hawk was 82mm mortars, RPG's and small arms. I have onion skin copy of letter sent out 3 days later that says 21 enemy soldiers killed, 3 captured, although we found many more bodies later beyond the wire in the weeds. I later found out that we were attacked by a battalion sized unit of NVA sappers, on FSB Los Banos, T'hawk and Phu Loc at the same time.At the time of the attack their may have been 50 of us total on the base, counting infantry and artillery, and that might me a stretch. Capt. Cox saved our lives as Curtiss stated. Engineers came in next morning and exploded about 500 lbs of satchel charges from the bodies..we also captured 3 RPG's.9 ak's with folding stocks, 2 9mm chicom revolvers and one belt buckle with red star

Delta was a dedicated BN in Phu Loc, ambushing had not been in the Ashu before T-Hawk. Half of my platoon was on T-Hawk, I was at the bottom of hill with the rest of my platoon. 155's can't fire illumination straight up, round probably came from FSB Roy 105. No Colonels bunker, no bunkers destroyed, no 122 rockets fired at T-Hawk. Attack was by NVA Sapper BN not VC.

Your account of the attack on FSB Tomahawk in 1970 is simply not true. I was there as a platoon leader in Delta Company.

Over the last decade, I have met and interviewed scores of World War II combat veterans. With rare exception, these men never discussed or shared their experiences with their families. Their reasoning was simple - nobody who didn't experience what they had could understand; so they said little or nothing.

Most of their children, now in their fifties and sixties, wish those experiences had been shared. For the vast majority, it is too late, but not for another important exchange to occur - one with their fellow sons and daughters of this Greatest Generation. I am creating a publication whereby you can share your memories of these veterans with each other.

If you are interested, please let me know.
