Comments: How can you have everything in your military records that needs to be, but they can't find your medical records. Motar round hits the track I take the full blast and finally they medivac me and days later I wake up and I'm told I'm lucky to be a live as we didn't think you were gonna make it. When I got to see my head, it was like a bowling ball "Huge" I lost the sight out of one eye and shrapnel in chest head and arms and now they can't find my records that would indicate what kind of wounds I had and what happened to me. I told them I was unconscious after wounded and the VA said we don't have records and I give them letters from a Command Sgt and others but didn't seem to help or matter. Has anyone else gone through this and did you find your records eventually? Happened March 19,1967, at Battle of Bau Bang B troop 1st Plt. Any one had any luck at find your records if St Louis says they don't have them

Comments: Reported to Charlie Horse 10 May 1971, left unit early Mar 1972. I was the only hydraulics man in CH my entire tour. I have endless tales to tell but from a maintenance view. I hug out with David Cornish, Joe Couch, Mac MacLaughlin, Bill Goodman, Bob Mitchel (Dyna), Sp6 Buzzell, SSG Jim Higgins, SFC Belcher, Sp5 Wheaty Wheaten and Animal to name a few. Of 4 tours this is the one in my dreams. I retired as the 1SG of the Comancheros, A Co 101st Avn Bn, from Desert Storm Jan 91. I am a lifetime member of the Black Knights and hope to be at the next reunion.

Comments: I'm sitting here and it came tom that 54 years ago at this time in 1968 the Tet started and changed our lives forever. For quite a few weeks and months to be sure. After we survived the Tet down South, Hue and Asha Valley, it's just a reminder how long ago it's been. What you all did after I left 5-68 is unknown to me but I'm sure it wasn't any better maybe alot worse but we did our job for each other. Just wanted to say after all these years I still remember those times and am so fortunate to be sitting here in the comfort of my home and reflecting on the bravery of our troopers at that time. You didn't know you were brave but you were.

Comments: I just looked at the site "Vietnam, Where & When" and found SSG David Powell who I have been looking for since 1974. He was 28 TC and 27 later for me in 1970. He is not a member but lives in St Petersburg, Fl. Trouble is the site doesn't show me a way to contact him that I can figure out. But it brought a huge smile on my face just seeing his name. Steve Scozylsas and I tried for years to find him and now Ski is gone. That makes my sad.
Comments: So nice to hear that you Terry are still around I think of you and Lay a lot I thank you for saving our Tank and my head from that RPG that just missed hitting me when you went forward to cover Sfc williams in the road. Driver's are not to move till the TC t ells Driver move out.... but you saved our * * * by moving forword that day You were a good Tank driver and so young you did a good job and I thank you SP5 Lay made it home
