May God Bless all my fellow troopers, both still living & those who have died. I served in 1969 & 1970, both in the field as an 11b20 & later in the rear as driver for the division commander (Gen George Casey) who was kia in 1970 after I left. My condolences to those who gave their lives in "Nam, including Tom Strathman, Dennis Resinger, & Gen. Casey. While I was proud to serve my country at the time, I have become more critical & bitter as time passes, now viewing the whole conflict as a political operation whose purpose was not to fight to win the war. Finally, a special thanks to "Tony" Tedesco, who was responsible for getting me out of the field & in position to serve Gen. Casey in Phoc Vinh. |

I believe my father-in-law, William B. Stout, was in C 2/5. Is there anyone I could contact to find out for sure? I have searched a number of the links on this site, but have not seen his name. He was in Vietnam from 1965-67. He never talked about his time over there. He passed away last week and we found some photos of him in the service, not sure where they were taken, but dress/uniform makes it likely over there. Thank you for any assistance. |

I had the priveledge of meeting goldie howell at church camp another nam vet who deserves my respect. A special thanks to you and the men of your unit, for the sacrifices both physical and mental. Men like you all are what made this nation free that i can raise my children in a safe place. growing up in a veterans home i learned early what vietnam veterans faced in the war and on the homefront. Dad was with 3/7 at duc pho 1967 usmc, operation desoto. I thank God often that he made it home. God bless each one of you guys. |

I just ran across the "pilots map" of the Fishook area and for the first time in my life since coming back saw the "big picture" with a bunch of LZ's I was on in "69 and '70. Can't say all the memories were good, but a lot came flooding back... |

I found this website to be very helpful.My father was in 1/5 Bravo Company, 1st Air Calv Division, 2nd Brigade. I wanted to thank whoever created this website. My father doesnt talk about Vietnam so it is nice to be able to read about the places and battles he was in. He was in Vietnam form Oct 67 to 1968. He told me he was at Khe Sanh and then moved to Dong Ha. I did notice there was not a whole lot about the 1/5 B Co 2nd Brigade 1st Air Calv Div. Does anyone know where I could find more information on them. v/r Everett Wilson |
