As of June, 2025 Dick is the President of Vietnam Triple Deuce Inc., an association open to any one who served with 2nd Battalion 22nd Infantry in either the 4th or 25th Infantry Division during the Vietnam War. Family members are also welcome!
My Triple Deuce time was all of 1969, literally. I got there the first week of the new year and got home on New Years Eve of that memorable year. I was the platoon leader of 3rd herd, Alpha company from January thru May, and 4.2 mortar platoon leader the rest of my tour in Headquarters Company. Locators found me in 98 and I have proudly served Vietnam Triple Deuce and 22nd Infantry Society in several positions. You guys and gals are my “other family” and will be forever. I’m especially proud of the Eliza farm community where we live. There are only 22 people in the town, but 52 members in it’s American Legion post. Patriotism and American values are a high priority around here.
Being president of Vietnam Triple Deuce has been a blast so far, just to see what these guys will come up with next. Our time is becoming limited by the calendar, but we have many reasons to be proud of what VN222 is and what it has done…
