I was with A. Troop 2nd platoon from Nov. 68 to Nov. 69. I'm hoping to find some brothers who served with me. I remember some names like Phillip Brown and Platoon Sergeant Calvin L. Becker. I am hoping to hear from you welcome home.

Greetings Brothers;

I am a member of the 5th US Cavalry Association and am very interested in learning about the 3/5 Cav Regimental Association.

Although the 1st & 2nd Bns were, and still are, elements of the 1st Cavalry Division, we're still brothers and members of the Black Knights.

I look forward to getting to know all of you and invite you to check us out at our web site 5thcav.org.

I'm checking out the possibility of attending your reunion in Colorado Springs. Have to check the dates before I can commit.

Brothers
This part of the jobs sucks big time !! That been said.
I received a call from Dave Grant B Troop Rep and was told that another Brother has made his way to Fiddlers Green .
Our Brother Dave Davis passed on Wednesday surrounded by his family he was at peace and never complained and never afraid he fought with cancer the past 7 years.
Even though he was battling cancer Dave meet with Howie Bachman and was a large part in finding the spot for our Reunion in his home of Colorado Springs.
He was so excited about us coming to Colorado Springs he made me promises to contact him we the recon team arrived so he could be part of the process.
Dave Grant has extended an offer to Dave's wife and Family to be B Troops Guest at the reunion he worked so hard on. If you see them at the reunion please welcome them, let them know that they are part of our family.

16,aka Lloyd Edwards and 36,aka John Robertson (baby john) this is 26, aka the infamous LT that blew up the school north of the River at Cam Lo. Was nice to see your posts concerning Col Bradberry. He was a soldiers soldier and I too was very glad to see him in Williamsburg with "Capt" Bachman ( always capt to me ). I wanted to see you both in Colo this summer but I am driving out there this fall for Elk Hunting Camp and camping with my son and grandson on Isle Royale in Lake Superior this July so I can't fit it in. Anyway, enjoy yourselves and I look forward to seeing you down the road. Keep your stick on the ice, the Snake Eater.

Was Platoon Leader of 1st Plt.-C Trp. 5/70 until 10/70. Just a belated word about Col. Bradberry. One day, late in the afternoon, we were finally able to test-fire our .50 Cal. Was hard to get permission because of the range and our often being near populated areas. Turned out that three of our .50s malfunctioned. I called to the rear to ask for parts. A short while later a chopper showed up. We were on a hilltop and it suddenly rose out of nowhere. I could see a big grin on the person flying the chopper. It was Col. Bradberry. The pilot was sitting next to him. He had personally come out to deliver the parts. That was the kind of guy he was. I always thought of him as being indestructable. I was sure glad to see him in Williamsburg. RIP Sir!
