Hello Combat Brothers, I am attempting to bring some closure to the KIA family of one of our Currahee members and "No Slack" member (69-70) - SP4 Earnest L. Moore, rifleman, killed on May 10, 1970, with our B Co. in Cambodia. SP4 Ernest had transferred to our 3-506th on April 17, 1970, specifically for the Operation Binh Tay I in May 1970. Very little is known about Ernest. I did a write-up about him in my book "Twelve Days In May" (the Cambodia Operation) and in "My Gift To You" (stories of each of the members of the 3-506th KIA in Vietnam & Cambodia). If any of you served with Ernest Moore and knew him, please contact me--it is very important. We had a lot of "No Slackers" transferred in and out of our 3-506. We invite you to visit our website and 3-506th Facebook Vietnam Group. Jerry in Montana [email protected] Bn PIO, 3-506th 1st Bde, 101st Abn. Vietnam 1967-68 AIRBORNE!

Two comments/questions: Was in an orphaned Met team officially attached to the 1/83rd FA on FSB Roy (Nov 69-mid ’70). You guys (101st) set up after 1/83rd 8” moved off the hill. Recall was called into your TOC for a briefing and got kicked out told to “shave”. Question… Japanese guy in there staring at a semi-circular black screen with range markings on it…what the hell was that ??? Was on FSB Tomahawk running pieballs (mid 1970). You guys chinooked in several 105’s and trucked in a 155. We sent up a balloon at midnite with flaming packing soaked in diesel. Started tracking with theodolite, was yelling balloon azimuths/elevation readings to recording partner… all hell broke loose, you guys ran to 105s started firing into the night.… anybody remember ??? Did "we" cause that ??? [email protected]

To those who helped me find info on my uncle SSGJames A Plummer who died from injuries of a April 23 1967 helicopter crash, thank you all. I was working with very little info to start. I learned that Raymond "No Slack" Benson was killed in the same crash. Since all the other passengers were from the 327th I assumed he was too but learned today he might have actually been with the 326th A company. Anyway because of one of you I was contacted by the Army today and was offered a summary of my uncles Army career. They told me it will be ready in a few days. My family is very grateful for your service and your help. God bless each and every one of you. K Plummer

This is for Judith Gray who is interested in the 'Donut Dollies.' They were a group of courageous and caring young women who came out to our Fire Bases and field locations to boost our sometimes sagging morale with their upbeat attitude. I served with E 1/327th 101st from early January to late December of ’71. The girls from the Red Cross came out to Fire Bases Bastogne and Birmingham where they played games and served us food in the mess halls. One buddy put it well, that it was like having your sisters show up to hang out and cheer you up. My most memorable experience regarding the “Donut Dollies” was during Operation Lam Son 719 in March and April. It was a screwed up operation where two of our mortar team’s, four of us from the FDC, and a rifle platoon were, via Hueys, sent from Bastogne to a tiny O.P for ‘four days,’ prior to being sent back to Eagle for some rest. Except, when our four days were up, we were relocated to another tiny O.P near the Ashau. When we arrived on ‘O.P. Destroyer’ we were greeted by the wreckage of a Huey on the hillside. Our ‘brief time’ there turned into fifty-five days. The resupply system went to hell. We ran low on C-rations, ammo, and water was sourced from a stream at the base of the hill. At one point couple cases of c-rations arrived which had cans containing dead bugs. There was ‘activity’ around us. At one point some of the claymores set out by the guys in the Night Defensive Positions were found to have been turned around during the night. There was a ‘miss fire’ from one of the 81mm tubes and a couple of us got nicked. We showered maybe twice when it rained. The ‘DX’ clothes exchange system never happened on Destroyer. Consider nearly two months in the heat, in the same fatigues. Moral was pretty low until early one afternoon a few weeks into our stay, a Huey showed up bringing mail, LRRP rations, and a real surprise. There were two Donut Dollies in their Red Cross outfits.. They had brought boxes of Red Cross ‘goodies, and a garbage can filled with ice, beer and sodas. They were cheerful, ignored how ragged we looked and how bad we obviously smelled. Somehow, they had heard about us, gathered up the beer, sodas and ‘goodies, and talked their way onto a ride to Destroyer. They played games, and BS’d with everyone on the hill. Although I can’t recall their names, I’ll never forget them, and the risk they took to get to us. While that was their only visit, shortly after they left, Mermite containers containing hot meals arrived. According the door gunner, “sent by your girlfriends.” Later, a second can filled with drinks showed up. While supply ships were still few and far between, when they did show, there were ‘Dolly sent goodies.’

Judith gray from Arlington Lancashire uk wrote on July 26, 2018 at 03:19:

Lt Dennis suggested I contact the website to see if anybody has any information about the donut dollies and what games you use to play. Thank you Judith.

Kim Crumb in exotic Forestville, CA to Frank Hensley. Captain Casey was our fairly new CO when I left E, 1st/327th for 'The World' in December of '71. He was a really good guy and looked out for us. My best to all my Vietnam brothers.

Frank J. Hensley from Washington DC wrote on July 23, 2018 at 13:58:

I served with E Co 1st Bn 327th Inf in 1971-72. Since so many units were Standing Down and going home, a lot of soldiers were being transferred from unit to unit until they had enough time in country. I got to drive a Jeep out to FB Birmingham several times a week. Using the Ferry Barge always gave me time to enjoy the Vietnam people who populated the area near the river crossing. The best were the kids who sold the chewiest peanut brittle every made. Some times they would have popcorn for sale. Anything to make a living. I was assigned as the Stand-down Supply Sgt to get rid of everything were could not ship back to the States, which was about everything we had. I also had the opportunity to take care of our company mascot "Lady" the Spaniel looking dog. She was spaded and left on my doorstep, unable to move. I made a bed for her in my hooch room and sat up with her all night until she could life her head. I remember dripping water on her tongue so she could have something to drink. By morning, I had brought back milk from the Mess Hall for her as well as some mashed up C-Ration beef slices. It took her two days to recover. When E Co was ordered to stand down, I was sent to E Co. 2nd Bn 501 Inf. I never saw "Lady" again. If anyone remembers the night that a grenade went off in the burn barrel outside of the Co E , !/327th Hooch area. We were playing cards. I had my back against the wood pillar with the burn barrel behind me about 10 feet. When the grenade went off the two guys to the left and right of me fell to the floor. They were driven to the Evac Hosp and I never saw them again. I do not know why I never got wounded in either of my tours in Nam. As I was getting ready to move over to E/1/501, our Company Commander, Cpt Casey took down the Guidon that was stapled to the Wall in the Orderly room and tossed it in the burn barrel, which had not been fired up for the day as yet. I asked Cpt Casey if I could have the Guidon since he was going to trash it anyway and he said "Go ahead, it all torn up any way." I still have it. I did call the 101st museum at Ft Campbell and asked if they wanted it. Naturally they said, "Yes." So, until I am able to get to Ft. Campbell again, it is locked away, ready for their display case someday. I wanted to write this stuff down before I lost all my memories. Getting old is bad enough.... To all my Vietnam Brothers I say, "Welcome Home."

I am the oldest son on SSG Patrick Henry Buckner. Some of you may have remembered him by "Buck". My father was 1/327 Tiger Force. He passed away on 3/12/18 from cancer presumptive to Agent Orange. I know that he did not have the opportunity to tell his living brothers goodbye, so I am doing that for him now. I know he is in a better place, no longer fighting, and with his brothers you all lost in Vietnam. My prayers go out to all of you who are still fighting the good fight. I miss my father each and every day, but i know what he fought for meant something. If any of you have stories, pictures, or knew of my father, please touch base with me. My dad left behind me, my mother, his daughter, and another son named after him. My email is: [email protected] Please dont hesitate to contact me. Thank you all and may God bless!

Good Morning All, My name is David McCandless, and I handle veterans affairs and constituent services matters for Congressman Steve Chabot. We are currently working with our constituent, a veteran, Mr. Dewitt Battle. Mr. Battle is an African American medic who served in Vietnam from 1965-1967. Mr. Battle received numerous honors for distinguished service for saving a number of lives while in grave danger to himself. He is widely seen as someone who should be put forth for the Congressional Medal of Honor. I have hundreds of pages of documentation from his unit and his own personnel files. The problem we are running into is that we cannot identify the individuals he saved or people who may have known him. If you could be of any assistance getting the word out or sharing with your membership it would be greatly appreciated. I can provide documentation as appropriate and can be reached by email or at the number below.

They were my idols and when it was my time to go I went on their footsteps and I'm not sorry even though I wanted to be a lifer I didn't want to be used as a politicians chess piece.

jump school in Ft Campbell Ky in 1960 lasted 6 weeks, we did a hell of alot of running, from class to class (all of which were held outside in the woods. spent many hours practicing PLF's from platforms (3ft high) into sawdust pits, then jumping from the tower (34 ft high) our first jump was from a C-130, second jump was from a C-119, and the last three from a the C-130 the last and final jump was a night jump, next morning we assembled outside in our PT shorts in 25 degree weather and went on a 5 mile run then were assembled in the parade grounds where we donned our dress coat and garrison cap for a photo, still in our PT shorts and boots. Then we were released and told we had 15 minutes to change into our fatigues and fall into formation for our graduation where we had our cherry wings pinned on to our chest. That night we all got plastered. the next day myself and my squad received our blood wings. (we each got the Airborne wings tattooed 3 inches above our heart.
