First and foremost, Thanks to ALL , for your service.
I was a good friend of Donnie Joule. I was not in Viet Nam as I was a sole surviving son , but Donnie and I talked a lot about his service with you all and his love for you all. As he was so proud of all of you and I was his friend, he gave me one of the squadron coins he gave to all of you and I will cherish it for ever and honor it as you all likely do.
Sincerely , Mike Fifer

I was with D Troop in 69 to 70. Call sign Longknife 27. Unfortunately separated from you down in the Delta, would have enjoyed supporting the rest of the squadron.

I have always been a proud American. I took the draft tour and rode proudly with C trp 3rd/5th Cav in 67-68. Today I am ashamed, not of my Country, but for my Country. This is not the United States I know. GOD BLESS US. Tom Wolske.

I was with A Troop, 2nd Platoon, from 8 Feb 1970 - late June 1970. My PMOS WAS 11E, but was assigned as an M-60 gunner on the 21 track, under an 11D slot. Buck Sgt Green was my track commander. We saw combat up around the, "Rock Pile", Khe Sahn," unofficially in Cambodia" on a S&D mission, and other locations North and West of Dong Ha, which was where our base camp was. At the time, we were attached to the 1/5 Mech out of Quang Tri. Grew up in a hurry.
