When the going gets tough and you need someone to depend on, the 101st Airborne 327th Infantry, 2nd Battalion is "Second To None".

These pages tell the stories of the men from the 2nd Battalion, the places they fought and the far away places where some of them died. There are stories from foxholes, helicopters, the jungle, the mud, the heat, and the rain. Some stories are funny, some are heartrending.
