Hello all. This is actually Louis's daughter, signing the guestbook on his behalf. My dad is in 3/5 Cav, Headquarters Troop, and served in Vietnam from Sept. 1967 to Sept. 1968. He is happy to have found a connection to all of you, and he's in the process of getting information about upcoming reunions.
