LZ Jamie was in the Fishhook area very near the Cambodian border.  It had been closed before, but 2/5 Cav reopened it in April.   (Source:  Ralph Spence, E Mortar Platoon, 2/5 Cav)

The Caribbean Contingent in 1st Platoon.  Notice the 25th Infantry Division patch on the left sleeve of the trooper on the right. That indicates he served with the "Tropic Lightning Division" prior to coming to The Cav.  As the 25th operated near the 1st Cav in War Zone C, we often called it  "The Electric Strawberry" in reference to the patch.

Anyone knowing the names of these troopers please email the Webmaster.
