Comments: Harold Mitchell,I have pic.'s of you and Buck, but until you posted on the guest book I couldn't remember your name until I saw the state you were from. You mentioned when the RPG hit Sgt. Williams tank, that occasion will always be with me forever as with us all. I was driving the tank behind him with Sgt. Weakly as my TC. The explosion was instant almost knocking me out. Sgt. Williams landed in font of me on the road with one leg missing. Willie Angus my close friend, was the gunner on that tank, an was blown out later not seviving. Don't remember the loaders name, but he perished too. The drivers name was Harold Speers or Sproils, but he was our driver later at camp evans when my TC got blown out of the coupilo landed on my lap and rolled down to Harold. Our 3rd plt. from A trp went to Hue in 2-68 the to Camp Evans and I left FB Birmingham in the Asha Valley in 5-68. I think about you guys always and will never forget you, Terry.

Comments: I was a Recon Sgt/FO that was assigned to B & C Troop in 1970. Best time of my military career.
Comments: June1970 to May1971. A Troop,Second Platoon. On track crew of 23, 25 and 26. What is really weird is that I got on Facebook to find folks from 3-5. Bumped into Hocevar. And then I found this site.
Would like to attend 2016 A Trp.Reunion. But don't know how to go about it. I tried to attend A Trp. a few years back, but an uncaring boss wouldn't allow the time off.
