Hello Brothers:
Once again I come to the Guestbook with a heavy heart and the news of yet another Brother's passing on to Fiddlers Green. Our Brother and fellow C Trooper Jeff Lapp has passed on with an apparent heart attack Feb. 18 2016. Jeff was a loyal member of the Black Knights; he was always at every Reunion ready to help when needed. He will be missed by his loving family and his Brothers in the Black Knight Association. One of the last things Jeff did was send in a donation for a Brick in the name of a Brother that was KIA April 18 1969 As I said he will be missed. Jeff, go in peace enjoy the Brotherhood at Fiddlers Green, and know our Brother Black Knights will remember you! Until we meet again.

Commo guy (9er bravo) A troop about Nov.-Dec. 67 & B troop Jan or Feb to Nov. 68
Does anyone remember the tank slipping off the landing craft and into the Cua Viet river, or the tank flipped over on its turret, or the Sgt. (I think) who blew himself out of the turret hatch. I think he was messing with the main power cable and touched it to a round setting off the propellant. I just happened to be looking directly at the tank at that moment. One of the most unreal sights I ever saw before or since. BLESS THE BA$TARD CAV.

Good Afternoon. This is my first post. I am looking for the following information: I was on track 35. On 22 June 1969, I was wounded. Lost my hand, later reattached. Also wounded in my leg. Crew, at the time, was Bo, Cole and DoDo. Section Chief was SGT Britt; 1SGT was Gantt. I sent for the Daily Staff Journals from Army archives. There is no mention of my being wounded/evacuated. After all these years, the Army has now disallowed my PH. To appeal this decision with the Army Board for Correction of Military Records, I need to submit additional information. My medical record says wounded by mortar fire in the Line of Duty. What is missing in the medical record is 'by enemy action'. I do not know if it was friendly or enemy fire. I would like to appeal and keep my Purple Heart. Any information, documents, a witness, etc., that can shed light would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You very much. Cavalry Forever. Joe.
