I think it was August or September of '71, a bunch of us from Echo Company 1/327th finally got sent to China Beach for seven days of rest. The first day was nice. Then a typhoon moved in from the sea. Waves broke across the finger of land making up the 'Beach. They rolled under the building popping floorboards. Winds hit over a hundred. The raised barracks started coming apart, parts of the roofs tore away and we started tearing the back side apart, using the wood to beef up the end taking all the wind. Another guy and I got hit by waves while looking for more wood. We ended up spending the night in a couple of huge trees which had their 'crotches between the big lower branches filled with sand. The wind switched and the guys stuck in the barracks's spent the night tearing out 'bracing' and moving it to the other end. The next morning the ground was under a foot or so of water and we waded to the remains of the Mess hall, also a raised building, for cold chow. The next few days weren't too bad. The water level dropped back down, they didn't make us fix anything and I think we were brought LLRPs, instead of c-rats, plus beer and [email protected]

Hello fellow Infantrymen. Now that some of the info has been de-classified, I am trying to research a bit more about my Dad. Larry Workman who served in 74-75. The picture I have shows he was in 2nd Battalion and I know he was involved in Cambodia. He was a supply Sgt and I know he prepped LZs for supply drops in places we were'nt supposed to be. If you remember anything like that or served with my dad, please contact my email [email protected] Thanks for your service!

We are commemorating lost servicemen, and I received SSG Clyde A Leeds’s name. Through my research I found your name on 327th infantry. I was wondering if you would be willing to share any memories, experiences or photos you have of Staff Sergeant Leeds that I can include in my memorial to make my tribute more personal.

Would anyone remember Spec.4 (possibly Sgt?) Robert Callen MacKenzie who was supposedly wounded in the chest during this battle and later discharged from the Army due to the wounds he received. His last duty assignment was with Co B 1st Bn(ABN) 327th Infantry. Bob later joined the Rhodesian Army in the early 1970's and served in the Rhodesian SAS. He achieved the rank of Major while in the SAS and became the most highly decorated American born soldier who served in the Rhodesian Army during the Bush War 1965-80. Bob was later killed in action while working for GSG Security Company in Sierra Leone in 1994. If you have any info please send it to me at my email address; [email protected]

I spent only about a week in the 101st, the last 4 days with C co, 1/327th. Wounded twice on May 29th in a heavy fire fight. I remember the hills were labelled around 825 meters on the platoon map. The first night I spent in an abandoned VC/NVA base camp. We captured a couple five gallon tin containers of documents. 2 days later around noon made contact with the NVA on a ridge, just up from a clear saddle. Hit twice from a small machine gun after my platoon Sgt. placed me in a fire zone. Didnt realize it intil they detected me. Guy next to me took a round thru the head. 3 of us were being positioned there but the 2nd guy was dead before he took two steps. Small chance anyone will remember this event. Please email any [email protected]

Looking for anyone who served with my father Marshall Post. His nickname was probably Mush. Dec 1969-March 1970 when he was wounded. He served with Daniel Brock who was KIA the same day my father was wounded. I would love to connect with his family as well. His friendship meant a lot to my father, and we honor him. My son is actually named Brock Marshall, after both these heroes. Anyway, he was in Delta Company 1-327. If you served with my dad please reach out to me. Thanks! [email protected]

For those unfamiliar with the Hill 86 overrun of B Company, 2/327 members in '66, I urge you to read the late Doug Fields' narrative. In fact, B Co. members had endured an earlier, equally ferocious assault on Hill 86. I was on the Hill for that one, and nearby for the more fatal night. William Frye Siegert, among the many killed in that second incident, was my friend; we had spent the day together, before I had to return to my MG position up the road. For a half-century I had wanted to make contact with Bill's family, to say he was my friend. I would learn that Bill's much younger brother and sister had been essentially barred from speaking of him upon his mother learning of his death. Memorial Day '17 I made contact with Bill's brother & sister and was able to complete my final mission: to bring Bill home to his siblings, who had longed to know of the brother they'd loved, admired and lost. Needless to say, it was a privileged, emotional moment. My thanks to then-Lts. McDonald & Meager for their insights/assistance relative to bringing all of this about. RIP, my brother. we'll meet [email protected]

PVT. Howard Putt Jr. On 20 Jul 69, my cousin, private Howard Putt Jr. was with the 101st up near the Ho Chi Minh trail. Howie was on point and was ordered to cross an open field. When his platoon approached the field the men with him informed the Lt. in charge that there were NVA in sight, the Lt. told his men that the guys they saw were ARVN. Howie was ordered to go directly across the field. Under protest Howard started across the field and within a few steps was shot through the left knee and down he went. The LT. formed the men up and a brief firefight took place over Howie's downed body. The Lt. then ordered his men into a strategic withdrawal, leaving Howie behind to become target practice for the enemy. Howard told me that they fired everything that they had at him and all the while he was bleeding out. Just when Howie was ready to give up, he felt a hand on his ankle. Howard's sergeant had come back for him and dragged Howie off the field under withering automatic weapon fire. They made it to the edge of the forest and a MEDIVAC flew in but the co-pilot was killed and the chopper withdrew from that LZ. Howard and some other wounded men were then brought into the jungle and the guys they were with took TNT from their packs and blew up some trees to make an LZ and the wounded were extracted from the scene. The sergeant was awarded the Silver Star Medal for his actions that day. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I would like to know the name of the sergeant, the co-pilot who was killed and the name of the LT.? Thanks! [email protected]

Dear 327th Infantry Veterans; My name is LTC Groen (Royal Dutch Army). Recently, I have created a FB-page which focuses on the book I started to research and write since October 2016. The month before, I met Dick Klein (HQ Co/3/501), Guy Whidden (HQ Co/502), and Jim 'Pee Wee' Martin (G Co/506) in the Netherlands. After speaking with them, and seeing the great DVD Doug Barber has made of Jim's WWII experiences, I was really inspired. I wanted to put these stories together in a book and after consulting the renowned WW II 101 AD historian Mark Bando, I travelled to the US in March 2017 to conduct my in-depth interviews. Since then, I am not only working hard on the book, but I am also collaborating with the Patriot Foundation and the Screaming Eagles Foundation as we want to raise as much money as possible to set up scholarships for children of families of veterans who have been hit by the recent War on Global Terrorism. We try to do so not only by using the (future) revenues of the book but also through the currently running Christmas funding campaign. I will try to keep you updated on all the activities I conduct in the upcoming period up to the release of the book. I hope you will not only enjoy all these stories but that you are also willing to share the message about this book and the funding project with your families, friends and within any available social media. Thank you for your support, on behalf of the Patriot Foundation and the Screaming Eagles Foundation. [email protected](https://www.facebook.com/3ofthelastscreamingeagles/)

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!

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.
