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. Look for the passage dated October 25, "More informationon possible closing of the "Nuts Cellar". If I can be of any help please ask. PEACE MCB FREE TIBET NOW

I recently went to my 1st reunion on Sept 26th in Orlando for Vietnam veterns from the 101th. Out of the 60 so that was there only 7 were from the 1/327th & 2/327th. I would like know went there are reunions for the 1/327th in the future.
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.

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 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.

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

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.
Ray (R. C.)Morris is 327th alumni Roger Morris' brother.

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.

Talked to Donnie Ulmer Jr who e-mailed me from Iraq and stated that his Dad Donnie Sr. was taken by Agent Orange a few years ago. Donnie Sr. served with me in C 2/327th 1969 and part of 1970. Donnie ran the beer garden after getting a rear job for a couple of months there at Phu Bai. I saw where Doc Art Erickson has checked in with us. Good to hear from you. Have been off line a good while but am back and have made contact with Erick Miller who lives here in Tennessee now. Hope to Hook up with Erick. Take care and sorry I missed the Ft.

I see a lot of VN vets on here, so I thought I would add a blog from a Desert Storm vet. I just wanted to say "Hooah!" to all former "Above the Rest" brothers. I served with B 1-327 from 90 thru 95 & was deployed during Desert Sheild/Storm with them. If there are any Bushmasters out there who remember me, give me a shout.

His name was Steve "Smiley" McKenzie.He was part of the Pathfinder Platoon of the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam. I know he served during the dates of Sept. 1968 to April 1969 but I am not sure of other dates. I know he was at Camp Eagle, he did basic training at Fort Leonardwood, followed by Advance Infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He kept a journal while in Vietnam, so I know some of the names of people he served with. Some are nicknames: Stack, McGibbon, Metz, Poncho, Sergeant Bolin, Guerro, and others. If anyone might know of my father I would really love to speak with you. Thank you.

The Website continues to improve, looks great!!!

Had several long chats with HCSM of the Regiment Joe Bossi at the Static Line Reunion. He tells me that the planning for Week of the Eagles is well underway and it is shaping up to be a great time.

Right now I believe I am correct in saying that WOE kicks off with unit events and competitions on Friday 14 August. Those events will continue through the weekend and really kick into high gear the following week. Final schedules are still being worked but it appears major events will be taking place starting on Tuesday the 18th culminating with the Division Review on Thursday the 20th and a giant barbecue that evening!!! Remember we vets also get a chance to Pass in Review before the Division does its thing on the 20th.

This is our opportunity to show our thanks to the Active Duty members of our Regiment for all they are doing to keep us free and to prosecute the War on Islamic Radicalism/Terrorism. Yea, I know that may not be very PC in Washington these days but as most of you know I have never been one to back away reality. Lets all plan on getting down to Fort Campbell for the WOE and showing our soldiers how much we appreciate their sacrifices for our nation. It doesnt matter when you served with the Bastogne Brigade, paratroope, gliderman or air assault soldier we are members of the CLUB and earned that designation the hard way. Hope to see as many of you as can make it at the WOE.
Remember, its ALL ABOUT THE CLUB!

God Bless the USA and God Bless our servicemen and women throughout the world.

Airborne - Air Assault, ALL THE WAY!

Larry Redmond, DMOR, Bastogne Brigade

Ed Freeman
Youre an 19 year old kid. Youre critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
Youre lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know youre not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and youll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesnt seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it..
Ed Freeman is coming for you. Hes not Medi-Vac, so its not his job, but hes flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
Hes coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman,died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , ID ......May God rest his soul......
I bet you didnt hear about this heros
passing, but we sure were told a whole
bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward
beating the crap out of his "girlfriend"

I was in country from 1965 to 1966 1st. of the 327th. C company.at cobras photo page one Im in the last picture there is 5 of us, Im down on the left Als arm is on my shoulder, but someone spelled my name wrong its not Robert Ratcliff its Gary Ratliff [LEGG] THOSE WERE MY FRIENDS. Al died 6-6-1966 I was in 8th. field hospital when I got the word, I had this picture with me even after I left the service, you dont know how much this means to me and to be honest with you I broke down

I really dont know if anyone is still alive after 43 years but if they are I would enjoy hearing from them, I cant be sure about the month put the picture was taken in 1966 in NHA TRANG.

if any one wants email me garyandlaura@speednetllc.com I signed up on the old quest book [sorry] so I also signed the new one.

I was so afraid we were forgotten.

Late Sept. 68 a Huey dropped a buddy from infantry school, Guidry from Alabama, and me off at FB Bastogne to begin our assignments with 2/327. I was assigned to Co B and my Lt. pointed to a hill "Your squad is at the top of rocket hill!" Joe Won came down and got me and cases of ammo, it was a butt kicking climb up. I met the squad and was sent back down with the other "Cherry" Reb to get C-rats, more butt kicking climb back up. Now so many years later I wonder if the Re-up Bird and the F...-you Lizard really existed or were they just some smart ass?

I was in NO SLACK 2/327 1999-2001. Went to Kosovo with them in 2000. Checking in I guess due to the suprising amount of history in regards to this unit. You dont think about it much until its gone. Best of luck to all who served past and present in 327. Keep it alive, especially you younger Soldiers.

My great uncle, Ralph Harter was KIA in France on 6/10/1944 while serving with the 327th infantry regiment, 101st airborne division. Though all who knew him are gone, after all of these years, he continues to be loved and missed by his family.

Served with C and D companies from 3/68 until 6/69.
I was attached from the 1/326 Engineers.
Started in country at Song Be, then moved north during Tet and finally Ashau.
Was wounded in Ashau.
I could not have served with a better group of "grunts".
I will never forget Ashau. Hopefully, one day, I will quit dreaming about it.
I will never forget the days humping. The nights of guard duty in the boonies. You know, a few hours on and a few off. To only get up and hump again.
And to think our reward was a stand down now and then.

Im the current commander of 2-327IN, "No Slack", and Im honored to be here. With our Week of the Eagles coming up in August of 2009, it would be absolutely fantastic if any of our older veterans (and those across the Bastogne Brigade as well), can make it down to Fort Campbell, KY for this reunion of current and Veteran Soldiers.

I want to thank all, who work so hard to mold this site into what has become one of the premier military sites on the web. A great place to re-connect, share a story, read up on some history, or just chime in on the guest book. I am extremely proud of our unit and the men and women who enteract on a daily basis to share a joke, argue a political point, or post valued information. Jerry Aggson 1/327 65-66

This is for Dave or Mouse or any of the others that can point me in the right direction- when and where did the ATR and No Slack Scrolls start being used as insignia for the regiment?

I look forward to seeing everyone during the Week of the Eagles this August. If you havent been to Ft Campbell this is an excellent opportunity to visit. The Division does it up right and you will be proud of our Screaming Eagle Brothers.
