Comments: @Rick Hocevar, thank you for the words. I am trying to locate as much info as I can about Ken, including any photos. He was killed before I was born, as was his brother. I have never seen a photo of either.
Comments: sorry Greg I sure didn't have one on my arm. I might have been moved down to 21 when you came into the plt once the LT took over for me as plt ldr.I was his plt sgt for awhile then a E-7 took over for me.I'd ask the Lt about it but He passed away awhile ago but their is a few of us left I'll talk to them in June
Comments: Richard , I was a Spec 5 - TC'd 23 track before I left country . Looking through the few pictures I have when we were ambushed in January , 2009 Sgt Baker was my TC , Richardson was the driver , Utke was left 60 and I was right 60 . I looked at some of the posted pictures and I knew Gerardi, Will Rogers , Danny Vincent , froggy and Michael Dorsey . By the way , You don't have a black panther crawling up your bicept do you ?
Comments: this is for Greg Gallen what track were you on? I was the platoon Sgt of A TRP 2nd Plt until end of Oct 68 hope to see you in June Colo.

Comments: Served with A Troop , 2nd Platoon 3/5 from September 1968 til September 1969 . Pre-Combat Trained by Sgt. Tim Jewel on the beaches between Camp Evans and Eagle . He did a great job as can be attested to by me writing this note . Served with Utke , Cassanova Trent , Baker , Horsey , Vincent , Dorsey , Richardson , and others I can see their faces but have lost their names . We served under LT Cailor and Capt. Medders . I was wounded January 26th , 1969 around 3:00 am on a road run north of Quang Tri where Sgt Cassanova received his Silver star . You guys were Great , to me the "Best" . Though I may have to look at letters and photos to match some of your names to the faces , I can remember and attest to your bravery and skill . Blessings , Thoughts and Prayers Go out to the soul of Nesbitt and All the Members of "C" Troop from April , 1969 . Love You Guys !
