Dewey, In answering your and Clinton Weakley's question about the name of Sgt. Williams gunner who was KIA in the RPG hit on Williams tank, was, Sgt. Willie Angus
my best friend at that time. I was driving Sgt Weakley's tank catching up to William's tank within about 20 yrd.'s when it was hit exploding immediately blowing Sgt William's out, killing

Willie and the loadee, blowing the driver, Harold Spears out of his hatch badly brusing his thighs and his chest. Sgt Weakly my
t.

c. killed the killer team of 3 that day. I can't remember the loader's name, but I can see his face vividly This a memory I'll never forget.

Clinton Weekley called me today and brought back many memories, I told him about the reunions both Troop and Sqdn. and he had a few questions so I told him to get to the web site and then the guest book and ask his questions. We are looking for Lt Richard Smith a Plt Ldr in A Troop. we also need the name of the gunner on SFC Williams tank who was KIA near FSB Apple.
I also keep a list of those who have passed since our return, each reunion we recognize those members.

Bill Vaughn: Bill what did you do at Dong tam? I was up north from June 68 to end of Feb 69 and then after R&R ended up at Dong Tam until I rotated home. It was pretty small place. I am sure we ran across each other.

I was reading your history web page and purusing your members' photo sites and you have some fantastic historical images. I would like to post a picture I have from 1970 for 3-5 Cav as I don't know anyone in the picture or where it came from.
