"Hawk Recon" will be available Jan 2023 at the latest...but pre orders are going on now on Amazon, Pen and Sword and almost every book store in the world!
I can still add info.!
The big mystery right now is: where did A company,2/327th extract from the AShau valley on August 18th,, 1968? This is huge! This is big history because it could have been from atop Hamburger Hill, Dong ap bia.! We were very close and headed that way just a few days prior!
We landed near a fire base right back in the valley.
I need the numbers, the coordinates! OR one of the several hill tops next to Hamburger Hill that were part of the future battle area in 1969!
Info. Is in battalion logs, division records etc!
Thank you and No Slack...! Doc Osgood
Ps. I was almost killed within a couple of clicks of Dong Ap Bia as was another co. A trooper KIA so having missed theHamburger Hill battle would have been a mute point I guess you could say!

Hannibal, Yankee Jim, the site is looking great! Thanks for not giving up after the technology failures.
This message is for the brothers of C/2/327, especially the 4th platoon. I usually shed a tear or two for my cousin, Robert Langford (KIA 01/25/1968 along with Earl Mailloux and Phillip Garver) at this time each year as we honor those we gave all. But I want to send out a big hug to those brothers who are still with us. While I know you feel sadness, I pray you don't feel pain. You did your job. We are glad you're home. Let the pain go; replace it with the pride that you served, and the gratitude those of us have that treasure freedom for the sacrifices you've made. NO SLACK!

Just received my copy of the June 2022 Issue of Vietnam Magazine.
Of all the men who served wearing the 101st Patch and the thousands who died wearing it you did them a great disservice and dishonor by printing the story of Jimi Hendrix.
I served with the Division from 1963 until 1966 and served with the First Brigade in Vietnam 1965/1966. If you want names of men who the AMERICAN people should read about and remember contact me I'll send you the names of the men we lost.
Never have I bragged about Hendrix serving in the same Division, that part of the unit history doesn't need to be publicized.

I was member of B Company 1/327 1st BDE 101st ABN from Jan 1966 thru the end of August 1966 when my enlistment was up, and I went back to the states.
Jack Wayne Lindsey was also a member of B Company and he was killed at My Phu on 3rd March, 1966. He came over on the ship in July 1965.. Another member of B Company was named Riggs who came from the 82nd ABN with me. He was killed at My Phu 3rd March, 1966.
Michael Hartness was a member of B Company and he came as a replacement in April 1966
There were three men killed on an ambush that was screwed up, Clark, White, and Harmon on or about Feb. 21 or 22, 1966. This was in the deserted village of My Phu near Tuy Hoa.

I enlisted airborne infantry Oct. 67 after a good friend of mine
Lance Corporal Peter Penfold, was killed in the Quang Tri province, he saved my life in a car crash the year before.
I was assigned to the 101ST, 2nd Bat/327th Inf./ Co. D. in
April of 68. I eventually became the 2nd platoon RTO for LT. Dick Farr, whom I still talk to today, among other troopers. My second tour was with the 118th Helicopter Assault Co. in Bien Hoa.
I do talk to Dale once in a while and I want to commend him on a tremendous job getting the 101st. website back up and running. A lot of history and remembrance that should not be forgotten. NFS

Actual published date has been changed to May 2022 and Amazon is calling it Jan. 2023 just to be safe I guess.

At this time it is out of my hands.
Still looking for Jim Fellows: Hawk, 75th Ranger and Richard Jeffries Hawk, sniper!
Thanks for the web site work...good job!
