Hoping you can help me locate a Purple Heart recipient or his family. I have a medal issued to a John D. Howard that was likely awarded sometime in the early 1970's and would like to return it to him or a family member. His hometown was Ocean City MD and an internet search returned someone named John D. Howard around the Towson MD area. My guess is his age would be mid-70's. He achieved the rank of BGen is the US Army. He is shown on your web site as being a member of the 327th. Any information you can provide locating Gen. Howard or family members would be appreciated. [email protected] Respectfully, Scott Eckert, USAF, Ret Henderson NV 760-617-6237

No Slack ! For God and Country! Good evening gentlemen. I'm reaching back almost 51 years and I'm asking those of you who were with John Ward, A co 2/327th on the night of October 6th 1969, to please tell me precisely how John was killed that night , during ambush ops in the flats . He did not receive a Purple Heart so it was either friendly fire or something else. I believe that Jim Simchera, Frank Seeman, John Coleman, Jack Ponson, Garry Gallant and Dale Hensen were in his platoon / squad. Some of you witnessed his death. I'm Bill Nelson and I've corresponded with some of you many years ago. But ,never really got a clear answer as to how John was killed.. I was best friends with John , grew up in the Bronx NY, together and we enlisted into the buddy system , US Army, trained together , Eleven bravo, flew to Nam together . They split us up, him to 2/327th me to 2/502nd both at Camp Eagle. He went through SERTS in Bien Hua with some of you I believe. I know he finished in-country sniper school, before he was killed. His father an NYC police detective requested I be John's body escort home, which I was plucked out of the field to do. It was the saddest journey of my life. I met his family at Dover airbase. After his burial I returned to my unit and finished my combat tour. Please before I leave this good earth , I need to know the truth , about John's cause of death , so my soul can be at peace . My email [email protected] ; home telephone 914-245-4146. Please someone step forward and tell me the truth. With respect and brotherhood. Bill Nelson... Read more

On June 10th, 1970, Delta Company, 2/327th Inf (No Slack) was attacked on FSB Tomahawk, Phu Loc, by a company of NVA sappers. The men of Delta Company heroically and successfully defended the FB, killing more than 30 NVA and capturing 3 during a sweep of the perimeter after sunrise. We had 1 KIA, Artillery trooper and a few WIA. The NVA sappers never penetrated the perimeter wire. They were detected inside the wire before they were ready to attack, by alert men on our perimeter. Fifty years later, for the men that were on Tomahawk, I want to say thank you for your courage and bravery in the fight to defend this FB. You did an outstanding job. Unfortunately, many Fire Bases were overrun during the war and they are the ones that are remembered. But, those that were successfully defended, don't make the history book's. June and July of 1970, FSB Ripcord was under siege and after losing many soldiers, the Fire Base was abandoned and bomb by B52's. It wasn't because the troop's didn't try desperately to defend it, but in my opinion it was abandoned because the Division was not allowed to send additional troops to clear the area of NVA and support the men on the FB. The draw down of the war had begun and we were in the Vietnamization phase. After Hamburger Hill, the politician's did not want anymore major battles, with lose of life. Not good publicity for the public back home. The politicians back home had given up on the war that they had thought was necessary. Sound familiar. Lesson learned, don't go to war unless you are all in and prepared to do what's necessary to Win! Have an exit plan which should be to defeat the enemy. For the... Read more
