Comments: Paul Stone passed away last Night at the Center Point hospital in Independence, Mo. He had COPD and heart failure. He was born in 1950 and was 73 and graduated from Van Horn HS in Independence, Mo in 1968. He was drafted and was in Vietnam in the 70-71 time frame. He was in B-troop. He was at the last reunion and was wheel chair bound at the time. He went in the hospital about a week ago. I saw him last Thursday. He is survived by his wife Joyce. They were together since around 1999.
Comments: As you may be aware, several months ago we opened a new website that serves as a locator for the memorial at Ft. Benning/Ft. Moore. The new website address is the same as the original website with the exception of it ending in (.us). In addition, to being a paver locater, we have added a Wall of Honor, a History of the Cavalry, a Guestbook, and several Links that take you to our original website, related websites, and to other pertinent information. While the original Gust book remains available, we invite you to visit the new (.us) site, make entries in the new Guestbook, and utilize the "Contact Us" Section for any questions that you may have.

Comments: I'm the son of 1SG Gordon F. Hadley. We were stationed at Ft. Riley, Ks, when the 9th ID packed out for Vietnam, departing in Jan. 1967. He was the 1SG of, I believe, E Trp, 3/5th Cav and was stationed at Bear Cat. He returned stateside in December 1967(about the 23rd), after escorting the body of his Company Clerk, Specialist Grimes home. Sadly, 'Top' passed away December 21, 2012 from cancer, attributed to Agent Orange. He is missed!
Comments: Well I haven't been on here for a while. Turned 81 this past January. Can't find on the website anywhere that tells me about the next reunion and where it's gonna be. Figured I better attend while I'm still around. Can somebody bring me up to date. John Osgood Lees summit MO B Troop Jun 68 to Feb 69.

Unable to brake loss end of broken torshion bar in anchor end, captain told our demo man to try to blow it with C4. After couple tries he put whole stick in. The results burned out tank in fire base ammo dump.
