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.’

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.

Served in Vietnam November 65 to February 7th,1966 when severely wounded. Would love to hear from anyone that recalls me.

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. Sincerely, David David McCandless District Representative Office of Congressman Steve Chabot (OH-01) U.S. House of Representatives 11 South Broadway, Suite 301 Lebanon, OH 45036 Ph: 513-421-8704 Fax: 513-421-8722

I haven't visited here in a long time. I've retired to Texas.

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.

In 1965, I was assigned to US Army Garrison, Ft Campbell, Ky. My brother was a paratrooper at Ft Campbell also. Little did I realize then, my lifelong connection to the “Screaming Eagles”. I was too young to understand the impact of the unit next to mine getting orders to a place most of us never heard of somewhere in Southeast Asia. My ETS was in February 1966 and my brother, Lawrence Thomas “Butchie” Borden, was close to his ETS in June of 1966. For reasons only he knew, he reenlisted I suppose, to do what he wanted to do. Less than three Months later, my parents were never the same (especially my father). For more than fifty years, I knew how he died because the CAO told us, but I wanted to know more about the people in his unit. I did reenlist and spent 27 more years in the military as a TOW/ITAS/Bradley Fighting Vehicle missile and other systems repairer/instructor at all levels. I was always in a role as Combat Service Support and because of my experiences being so close to the Infantry and Armor units, I always was mindful of who was dependent on the equipment I was repairing. My last job as a civilian was working with the Close Combat Weapon Systems Project Office writing the operator and maintenance manuals for the systems I grew up on. Last Friday and Saturday, 21 & 22 June, I attended the C Co/1st Bn/327th Infantry reunion in Duffield VA as a guest of my brother and the members of that unit. I did not meet any member that knew Butch, but The pride I felt around those heroes from Viet Nam to Afghanistan is indescribable. I know I can speak for my son and brothers who were also there, I personally do not believe in the term “Closure”, but I did feel wonderful meeting everyone. Having put my wife though all of those years while I was deployed, etc. I also have tremendous respect for those women I met. Since Ron Gallant’s father and my mother are both from Prince Edward Island Canada, I’m going to do some checking to see if we may be distant cousins. I want to thank all of you for your invitation and hospitality. May Gad bless all of you. Bob Borden

Well I wish to note that my step father Fearless Freddie Tomlin did pass on to me that survival instinct to stay alive, honestly I will always remember Fred and im grateful for the knowledge he bestowed upon me. I am alive today because of the knowledge

Company D 2/327th of 101st Airborne, Medic, Apr 69 to Mar 70. The family of Mark Corral are frantically looking for anyone that may have served with Mark during this time period. Here is his story. Mark contracted Hep C after being innoculated by the army with a dirty needle. The Hep C was not discovered until 1999 during a routine medical checkup for life insurance. There was no cure for Hep C until approx 2 years ago. He received treatment for the Hep C but before he could be cured, the Hep C destroyed Marks liver. He is in desperate need of a liver transplant today. Mark has also suffered with serious battle fatique (PTSD) over the years that resulted in the wrongful loss of his VA benefits. Therefore, we are looking for anyone that may have known Mark or could have served during the same time frame that can speak to the circumstances in Viet Nam at that time. I can provide more detailed information regarding exactly where he was in Viet Nam at specific times if needed. I am his little sister, Sue. I am easiest reached by phone at (434)645-7711 or feel free to respond to the post. I have his daughter watching it. I am too old for all this facebook stuff.
