Sorry guys! My dementia seems to be progressing faster than I realized. I just read my last post. I was in B-Troop! Monty Meigs was the A-Troop commander then

I was the Commander of A Troop from end of June 1969 to November 1969. Took commend of the Troop while in the A Shau Valley. We remained there until a typhoon brought such a large amount of rain 1 September that we had to get out of the valley before the road in over the mountain was washed away. Took us about 10 days. We made it out...mostly and then went up to the DMZ attached to 1-11 Infantry of the 5th Mech. It would be nice to hear from someone who served there with me. Beaumanis, are you out there?

I was in Dong Ha, with HHT 3/5 Cav, and attached to C-Troop end of Dec. 1970 running supplies back and forth during "Operation Lam Son 719", or that's the way I remember that operation. We built what was later called "The Yellow Brick Road" up to Khe Sanh. we headed cross country at the "Rock Pile". I left country in Oct. 1971.

Welcome Home all Vietnam veterans! Today is Vietnam War Recognition Day.

I was a 3/5 Cav B Trooper, 70-71, now in Crescent City, CA.

Yesterday I located the grave of 3/5 Cav D Trooper Howard Earl Cramblet, KIA 5/12/1969 when his OH61 LOACH exploded in Kien Hoa Provence. Cramblet was the pilot. I will place flags on his grave henceforth.

If anyone knew Cramblet in country, I would appreciate you getting in touch with me so I may better honor him in our newspaper. I'm on the current roster.
