I spent two years helping rebuilding the 3/5 Cav.in Ft. Lewis , from Nov.72 thur Sept.74 , when I got there , assigned to Delta Troop Recon.,their were a lot of stories about what was left of the regiment after returning from Vietnam was returned to Texas and assigned to the 1st Cav.,stories were they suffered so many casulities their weren't enough for a unit so they just attached them to the first, I've been proud of the 5th cav.just always wondered about the unit.

My brother, Ralph Boyer, was a medic with A/3/5 Cav Mech, in country January - March (possibly April) 1968. Was badly wounded and did not return to the line. He passed late 2021, AO a large contributor to his health issues I have been trying to pin down details of his service. I'd like to hear from anyone who knew him or A troops activities after the boatlift to Da Nang.

Hello, my uncle served with you. He was Roderick C Jamison. (Rick). Just stopping by to say Thank You to each of you and let you know I appreciate your service. I recall going to his sister's house for the adults to listen to 8mm audio message he sent home. I was too young to join in and listen. Hell, you were all too young to be there but my life has been made available through your sacrifice. I do recall Rick talking about amphibious vehicles .. perhaps just one or two in all of viet Nam while he was there. I also recall seeing a zippy lighter that he said took a bullet in his pocket instead of directly into him. That's about all I know other than the CBS walter Cronkite news stories. If you have any stories about my uncle Rick please email. I'd love to hear them and would share them with Rick's son Denward, aka Danny.
