Comments: Hello my uncle Jimmy Thompson served in C Troop and was killed in action in the Phuoc Tuy Province on 12/31/1967. I have a grainy picture of him on his ACAV and it looks like "Cherry" is written on the side. I am trying to gather information for my mom and our family and was hoping someone might remember him or have been in the area at the same time. Thanks, MG

Comments: Haven't contacted the BlackKnights website or org. for years. But sitting here in a hotel in Hanoi was moved to do so. I have been back to Vietnam 6 times since 1967 to build schools. Wasn't sure why I came back the first time in 2001 with a brother-vet from the 25th Inf. When he died in 2005 from Agent Orange inflicted esophogeal cancer and asked me to return to our first school and leave some of his ashes so he could be with other brothers, I did. Now that I have a different memory of this place--A COUNTRY-A PEOPLE-NOT JUST A WAR I am a better person. Anyone wishing to discuss my experiences since returning please contact me.
