Ray Littman/Terry Pilkington....my oh my! One heck of a lot of water under the bridge ehh? I was cruising around on the internet and ran into this site. I sure hope you guys took good care of 39er, she served me well! I jumped on her in the summer of '66 at Ft Riley Kansas with Sgt's Stanley, Hua, and Orton whipping us wanna be tankers into shape to become real tankers. All the tanks and pc's were loaded onto railcars and shipped west, then loaded on ships and headed for VN. I took the troop ship (Gen Maurice Rose) from Oakland, Ca to Vung Tau, VN. Floated down some river on a barge out of Saigon with our tanks, made it to Bear Cat, then off to busting jungle, and a whole lot of other things. In country from Dec '66 to Dec '67...we've a lot of catching up my friends. Ain't it funny, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but faces and names of 3rd platoon tankers are etched in my memory bank...Gene Stevens A Troop 3/5th, 3rd platoon, tanker, 39er....

This site has helped me come to peace with my time in Viet Nam 25 AUG 70 -28 SEP 71. I am proud of what the 3/5 CAV has accomplished and that I had a small part to play in its success of building the Yellow Brick Road.

I was with the 5th Cav from 2/67 to 1/68.Assiged to A-35 (TC sgt. Rorie) from 3/67 to apx. 5/67 then I went to A-37 Gino Stevens (Gunner) Carter (driver) and SFC Uttey the TC.I became the driver and Carter wanted to drive one day and while braking jungle that day he was pushing over abig tree and the top snapped off came down and hit him in the head (dusted off) and never saw in again.Thats when Terry Pilkington came on 37 we looked each other up and call and e-mail each other (mostly jokes)its still nice to talk two someone who you've been in the bush with.Some of the names I remember are Hayes,Lowell,Smitty,Woethey,Perez,Vinne Van Lone,Adair, Baker,Fredie bear Forest,Moore,Fritz(Doc)Newby,Marshall,Ringer,Angus,Williams(TC),
