I am looking for anyone who might have served with my Uncle, Don Miller, Alpha Company in 1968. He was a machine gunner and his radio operator was Larry Peek. He was wounded in November of 1968, I believe. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated as he doesn't talk about the war much.

I am trying I find more information on William Eugene Hargrove who was in Co A 2/22. He was mortally wounded on 9/4/1967 at Nui Ba Den and died the next day. I am interested in finding out more about the fight he was killed in and any stories anyone knew about him. All I have been able to find was that he was wounded in the head while loading wounded into an armored vehicle.

A beautiful tribute to Gary by Betty Brenneman in the newsletter. Not only was Gary energetic in the promotion of the 222, he was a fearless spokesman for the many enlisted ranks, especially the many permanent privates brought to the war via the draft. Unfortunately, it is already time to witness the passing of the guard in our war, but what an honor to have known a man like Gary in the important performance of duties in that guard!

My cousin Sp4 Andrew J. Short, III served B- 2/22 Inf Dec 66 to his death 17MAY67 as described so well by Skip Fahel. In looking at my Cousin's profile shown on The Virtual Wall I noticed that there was no CIB awarded. His MOS was welder but obviously he was serving as 11B20. Does anyone have a copy of blanket orders from the time that may list him and maybe the other 6 who died that day?

My brother. Sgt. Peter R. Langlois was with the Triple Deuce, July 1968-'69. He was infantry-- living, riding & trying to stay alive in tracks & later was Company clerk in the Dau Tieng Base camp for the 2nd half of his year during his tour of duty. Do any of you remember Peter Langlois? Sadly he passed away from a very rare Agent Orange related cancer, Dec. 2004. I have letters he sent home. (he was a journalist just out of college when he was drafted). I connected with Dick Nash this week!! and told him about a book I have coming out May 17, 2021, with my brother's 36 letters from basic training and Vietnam along with my part of the story. You can read an excerpt of the book on my website and find more info there www.annettegrunseth.com I would love to hear from any of you who may remember Peter Langlois--Thank you! Annette.

Wow! I just found this site by searching for information on my best friend from High School, Mike Rasmusson, KIA with you, June 2, 1970, Cambodia. Googling Mike Rasmusson Triple Deuce pulled up Ben Barrett and Mike Stanphill's accounts of his death along with Sgt. Dave Campbell. My deepest gratitude to them both for writing up their memories of the events of that night. Especially I want to convey my thanks to Mike Stanphill who was in his platoon, and from whose album I have downloaded the photos he posted there with Mike in them.
I went in Sept. '66, went to Viet Nam June '67, Co. A, 1/28th, 1st Div. Took a short term re-enlistmant in Nov to be a door gunner 162nd AHC. ETS June 4, 1970 right after Mike was killed. Mike and I differed on the War, prior to either of us going in. He was against it, I was for it. He died. I lived. Who knows why?

He passed away on December 30, 2019 and as I was digging into his service career a lot deeper, I ran across this website. Being able to see pictures that I have never seen of him before and also read the commentary humbled me. Dad really never spoke too much about his experiences but when he did, me and my brothers were all ears. We are so proud of him and wanted to thank everyone who served in Vietnam. My dad will be missed but never forgotten.

I came upon your great site while surfing the net and knew that the above statement would have special meaning for you. Different branches of service, different areas of training but we all worked together to accomplish the same mission and objective. Vietnam has left us all with many memories of those with whom we served and those who didn’t make it back. I served with 3/22nd, 25th Infantry Division out of Tay Ninh as an infantryman. Fought the NVA on the slopes of Nui Ba Den twice with numerous firefights in and around the area bordering the Cambodian border. Remember your Christmas in Vietnam? Mine was spent on an ambush patrol near the Cambodian border. Awarded Purple Heart and three Bronze Stars with “V”. After 5 months in the field, I was pulled to the 93rd Evac at Long Binh to work with soldiers suffering from combat fatigue. Coming home was one of the most difficult parts of ou

Magnet Nishikubo, and James Nelson did not know them in Vietnam. But, two great guys whom I met at the reunions. Many conversations with Norm about Sammy K and Jim came to my squad as I was leaving to come home. When I meet guys at the reunions it seems first we give each other a quiet look then it all comes back. Did not know Jim May in Vietnam, who would become the if you did not have it , he would get it. That's what 1st Lt are for in their spare time. We all remember our "spare" time in country, right! I was on the boat and today I am glad not a lot of that voyage can be remembered, except receiving three(3) 5.56 for my M 16 as we got into trucks to head out for Bear Cat. Three...Three there most have been a shortage, or they didn't trust us.Hopefull Dallas for the June reunion. C/2/22 65-67

Today along with other members of the 25th Div.,& 1st Cav went to the Vietnam Veterans of Oregon Memorial. Other than the DC wall, it is the best memorial to Viet vets in the USA, because of the beautiful setting. For the last 9 or 10 years, I have been reading 2-3 pages of names of the 800+ Oregon KIAS. For the last 5-6 years my wife Scarlett has also been reading names. I was able to do the letter "H', which contains 3 of the 5 KIAS that were from A/2/22. They are George Holiday,,JAMES HESS & EARL HILLS. in addition there was a James Muth and the last guy' Name I cannot remember off hand. . Anyway there are 10 names in total that were members of the 22nd Regmt. Out of the 17 companies that were in the 3 battalions, it is rather amazing that 5 of 10 were from one company, especialy when the original boat people from Ft. LEWIS, THERE WAS NOT ONE GUY FROM Oregon. Sorry for my poor typing. ,
But the real reason for this message, was I wanted to know how Jim Neeley was doing?

GREAT Reunion.Very will done-except one complaint.The cold cut buffet was a joke! It should have been trays of cold cuts -rolls -slices of various types of bread-salads. Not a small dinner roll with 2 small slices of meat and slice of cheese.If we have to pay a few bucks more ok,but dont serve crap!

Was attached to Wolfhounds, 5th Mech at times but never the 222. But I do know who you are. I have a high school buddy who was with 222 after I returned to the "World" and ETS'ed. Any of you know Greg Devore? He was a VTR driver with 222. A booby-trap blast messed up his eyes and they sent him home.

Most of our guys got real messed up. Things were real busy that I didn't even realize that the sun had come up until about an hour later. Funny how our perceptions are effected when things are happening. During mop-up, we found 1 dead VC with RPG in the next bunker to our right.

wEll, that night I was over near the PX and swimming pool headed for the bunker-line and descovered when we got there that many of the bunkers were abandond. Our Sgt was killed there. About 1/2 dozen of us held up in 1 bunker. Got a feeling I should secure the rear door. RPG hit as I stepped out.

It's been over 42 years since returning from our tour and I haven't ever not thought many times about all the great men I had the pleasure and honor to serve with. It wasn't till I found this site and was able to realize that 40 men died during my 13 months with Alpha. My heart cries for them.

Comments: This Memorial Day all Triple Deucers will be remembering our fallen brothers, and their families. I would ask all members to remember that we all came from different backgrounds, religions, races, and life styles,as did our fallen brothers. I believe that our fallen brothers want us to unite in the goals that the VN222, Inc. is trying to accomplish. That being to find the rest of our brothers, and get them to join us, and our fallen brothers, in that cause. I hope that you are all well. God bless you all.

Comments: Mike, sorry for your dads death.Suicide per cent was very high among Vietnam Vets, as it is now among our combat Vets comming home from Iraq, and Afganastan.Was your Dad getting any dissability from the VA for his PTSD?If so then he might have gotten counseling either through the VA, or your County VA office.Some Vets were part of outreach programs from your state,or County VA office.There might be people he talked to that would remember more details of his time in Nam.But like alot of Guys do, he might of kept everything inside and not reached out for assistance.Alchoholism is very high among Vets.Its a way of dealing with the pain, guilt, memories of events we're not equiped to handle by ourselves.Your dad went off to war for his Country, came back to a normal life,and tried to be part of that "Lifestyle" but wasn't "normal" as no one is after combat.Godbless your Dad for being a Vetran, and good luck with your search

Comments: Mike, I am sorry for your Father's untimely death. I have no way to see if Jimmy Dean Pruitt was on the roster for the 2nd of the 22nd Mech. If he went over on the Nelson, as all the boat origionals did, we could not all leave Dau Tieng all at the same time so we were sent to different Units for our last 60 days or so of our time in Nam. I went to the 4th of the 23rd Mech and there is a possibility your Father went to the Aty Unit of the 1st Cav. I hope my reply is not the only one you get.

The surgery had been scheduled in time for Bill Lipp to still make the Atlanta reunion, but it was postponed last week and keeps this great guy, and Alpha Co 2-22 vet from being with us in body April 14th. He will definitely be there in spirit and prayer when the other Alpha guys and all of us who have met Bill at several reunions gather in Georgia. But if you have the time, please send Bill a bit of well wishing from a combat Brother, you. I know he will appreciate it. His e-mail is wlipp@kc.rr.com. Dick Nash

I can't remember the excat day i got to fort lewis it was late dec 65,I took basic with charlie co 2nd bn 22nd inf mech 4th division, cpt white was the co and lt ridrosky was the exc office, after basic went on leave,when I came back was assigned to hhc support platoon, This made me a little mad because I had got to know all the people in charley co, Little did I know that this possiblly saved my life later on. I drove a truck until sometime in the fall of 66 and was prommoted to sgt e-5 and from than until dec 10 66 was in charge of the ammo dump, I suppose I could have died with a road mine saw a truck blowed up in front of me and one blew up in back of me, but the good lord carried me through all of it. So far I have made contact with Joe Stephens he was in my section in suport plt in nam He and his wife visted our home last fall and we are all going on a cruise the last of feb this year,I am going to talk to him about going to the renuion this year so far he is the only one from my section that I have made contact with, I see a lot of names that I remmber from basic anyway happy new year to everbody,especilly all of the orginal boar people kenny eccles

C, 1st platoon, 2 of the 22nd starting spring of 1969. I knew him from basic Medic training and some subsequent schooling, we were Nebr homeboys and did everything together during that time. He will rest in Crete, NE but no details are available yet. We just reconnected a year ago and we were looking forward to getting together, but now will have to wait.

I believe this was during training or something. Anyway, when he was in the hospital over the next week or two, the M113 he was part of got blown up and all the guys died. Is there a way to find out who these soldiers may have been? Thanks. He was in Co B. Still no luck with anyone claiming the Annie Fanny on the side of the M113

Comments: I was sent to Lyon France in or about 1995. Went to Normandy. It was the first year the beach was open to be used by sun bathers, because the authorities thought all the ordnance had been finally removed after all these years. The Military Cemetery there was much like Arlington and eventhough it is in France, it is considered American soil and is run by the U.S. Park Dept. There is a monument showing what units went where and walls of missing in action. The 22nd Inf. had a large section of that wall. It is all done in white stone. Tried to count the names, but the sun was so bright my eyes got too misty to count more names. Wish I would have counted them all. Pap Boat Orig.

Comments: Just saw the post below from 2006. I was with you from Nov 1969 until you left in 1970. In addition to To The Alps and House of the Rising Sun, I remember Think Snow, too. I was on a pc that hit a land mine in January 1970 in a rice paddy. Our driver, 50 cal machine gunner and several others of us were medevac'd. I remember Tex and Moose, I think, but having trouble with names after all this time. ________________________________________________

Comments: I served in vietnam from Jan 69 thru April 69 with Charley Companay Triple Deuce I was wounded twice, once by a land mine while on my track and once while on ambush patrol. As a result of my second injury I was sent to Japan where I met up with my buddy Ken Drum. Just recently we met up again, it was quite an experience to know he was doing well. Welcome home to all my brothers.

I would like to link up to any of you in C Company. I am looking for names, especially our medic, Dock,a vegetarian and concientious objector(carried no weapons),but saved many lives and did not hesitate to run into the thick of the action without weapon. I worked the plotting board on FDC track. Lost two tracks and four men on 01-13-69 from Dau Tang to Cu Chi Convoy division size ambush. Remember? Can't forget. Get in touch. I have many photographs.

I am trying to locate a gentleman my father fought with in Vietnam named Earl Washington. My dad thinks he might have been from PA. My father, Dave Shindley, was in the 2nd of the 22nd mechanized, and served from 1970 through 1971. If any of you can help get me on a starting point, that'd be great. I'm happy I ran across this site - seems like there's a lot of good information. Thanks so much in advance

Comments: Happy Thanksgiving to all my Triple Deuce Brothers and their families. Still no new on the CBS airing--guess we will just have to keep tuning in for the Sunday Night News on CBS to see. The beginning of the telecast will let you know if we will be on it or not.

Comments: Well we got bumped again by CBS who still maintains that the piece on our reunion will air one day. It will be, they say, on the Sunday night CBS News. The 22nd? The 29th? So, I'll advise to check in with CBS during that time. We probably will never be able to say that it will air for sure on any particular day. History takes a back seat to current events. Our CBS contact is very apologetic about all this.

Comments: Well, let's try this again. I received another notice from CBS that the piece on our reunion and the Walker interviews will air Sunday Nov. 15th at 1800 hrs. (6 PM if you are totally civilianized) I was also told that we could get bumped again, but that it will indeed air one day. There are a lot of fingers in the pie at big time TV networks. Sort of like the Army in that regard.

I just got the following from Art Beltrone from the Marking Time Vietnam Grafitti group. Quote We have been told by Nicole Marks that the CBS News story about 222 and the Vietnam Graffiti exhibit is scheduled for this Sunday, November 1. It will be broadcast during the 6 pm national news, barring any unforeseen bumping due to a hard news development. Can you spread the word from your end? If it is bumped, we would be told of the re-schedule time. End quote Nicole Marx is the producer, and the News Correspondent that interviewed us is Randall Pinkston.

Comments: Just returned from a Veterans Day program in Frazier Dixon's home town of Clarks Hill, SC. (Dixon was KIA on Dec. 3, 1969, he was with Co B Triple Duece). I was there last year as well. I met more family members, the ones that couldn't make it last year. It was a wonderful experience with a lot of closure and healing. I also made new friends for life and ate some unbelieveably good Southern style home cooking. Sorry guys, had to drive past the South Pittsburg, TN exit, but I had Grandkids in tow and no time to waste, maybe one of these days I'll get to stop at that Base Camp Bar. Peace to all of you. If you want to read about this years trip to Clarks Hill, email me and I'll direct you there.

In Oregon, on Saturday some of our Portland 25ID group will help Larry Mason C-2-22 celebrate his 40th Wedding Aniv. Then on Monday, our group gathers at the beautiful Oregon Vietnam Memorial to honor the 800 plus Oregon KIAS, including George Holladay of Coos Bay(KIA 7-15-67) I have the privilege of reading some 22 names that includes George Holladay. After the names are read, we march-walk with our flags and present a wreath in their honor. After the conclusion of the memorial service, we gather for a lunch. Paige Lanier, our 1st Arty officer-FO(with A-2-22) and his family happens to be in the Portland area and will join us. PS CJ Simpson while you are marching in the Quad next year in Seattle, I and the other guys will sit in lawn chairs, beer in hand, watching and trying not to laugh out loud. HA HA

Just to mention, the article says I was in Charlie Company. I was in Bravo Company. No big deal, but I don't want any of you old guys wracking your brains trying to figre out who Spadoman was in Charlie. Take care and be well my brothers. Peace to all in your hearts.

If you see this Smitty, email me. Remember April 1970 when we blew that bush and got nine of them. Its been 38 years. Can't hardly believe it. I still can't get it out of my head any more than all the other things we went through. "Zipper"

There were supposed to be two entries in each mag-one with Skip Fahels name adress and phone for the 22nd IRS and mine for the VN222. The VFW only listed Skips stuff, and the American Legion screwed it up by listing my name with the 22nd IRS, not mentioning VN222. Thought you should know. Dick

You all helped me to do my part then, and are helping me to deal with those memories today. Wear your Presidential Unit Citations with pride, and forgive those that placed us there, as well as our former enemy who suffered greatly at our hands. Forgive, but never forget, as if you could forget. It was pay-back time that day. Leave it at that.

Comments: Served with Co. A,-3-1-Triple Deuce,1969-Nov.1970,on a track named "My Special Angel". Some of our predecessors named this track, but during my time it never hit a mine, nor did a RPG get through it, and during the time we spent in Cambodia during May and June of 1970 that's quite a feat. I remember several of the young men I served with and a few were together for months.Ifound "Smitty" Smith last week, and we spent some time talking and laughing about some things that happened to us. How bout it J. Sumeghi,Jeff Robin,Steve Montgomery,Andy Werk,Orville Galan,Harold Creamer,Mark Zetter,Chuck Weidner,. Zetter, and Weidner, you guys have asked about Sgt. Smith, well he is alive and well in Pa. I'm really ashamed that I haven't kept up with my brothers over the years,but we all were trying to forget or told ourselves we were too busy.For all you originals, you would have been proud of this group. Welcome Home to all, and to our young brothers in harms way all of us old doggies support you and think of you daily.

I served as an 11B with B Co 2-22 (July-November 1968) before being transferred to 1st Aviation Brigade, where I finished out my tour as a member of the 145th Security Platoon, defending the Bien Hoa Airbase inner and outer perimeter. It is now 40 years since I enlisted in the US Army in January 1968, and I am STILL with the Army (Chief of Law Enforcement at a major US Army installation in CONUS). My sincere appreciation to those of you who banded together to create this organization and website.

Comments: I had a great visit with Larry Nuckolls. Both of us were in B Company, he in late 1969, me for most of 1969. Our tours overlapped. We are mortarmen. WE visited for a few days and had a great time. We talked with another Veteran friend we both had in common, Steve Sinn, over the phone. We attended a Veterans Day ceremony where we were honored as Veterans, together, and it was an honor to be with someone who was there with me. I am leaving today from my home town in Northern Wisconsin to travel to Clarks Hill, South Carolina. In Clarks Hill, I will attend another Veterans ceremony on Saturday, November 17, 2007, at the Bethany Baptist Church. This is the home community for Frazier Dixon, KIA December 3, 1969. This is where he lived before war, this is where he is buried. Someone contacted me after all these years, it's a long story, but I will go return his Spirit to his Friends, Family and Community. You see, Steve Sinn and I were with Dixon when he passed. I'll say hello to his family from all of us.

Comments: After all these years I finally went back to research our old unit and what we did. It brought back some wonderful and not so wonderful memories. The battle of Suoi Tre at Firebase Gold and finding a soldier drafted with some of us so greatful we came to the aid of the fire base. I had to click on the memorial page after contemplating for some time. Though some of the names escape me at times their faces never. They will always be in my thoughts. Once again this year a group of veterans gather at a Sportsman lodge in the hills of Central Pennsylvania for Veterans Day, men from different branches of the military to pay respect to those who served ewspecially those who are no longer with us. The service at 11am on Nov 11 is wonderful and very moving. Thank you for providing the information Dennis Di Bon Co. B 2 22 3rd Brigade 3rd plt

Comments: Please check out the National Trust for Historic Preservation website. Go to the update on "The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". The Trust is campaigning to prevent the Superintendent of Memorials from destroying the marble headstone and replacing it with another stone. The current stone is cracked and can be repaired the same as other marble memorials have been in the past. This is the only memorial to the WWI veterans. This headstone shouldbe repaired. Destroying would be a desecration.

Comments: It was an honor and a real pleasure to join the men from Charlie Company at the reunion in Centralia, Washington. Since returning to Virginia I have had a difficult time describing to family and friends the depth of my feelings and what it meant to me. I don't seem to have the words to fully express myself. I have always considered the two year period during which we served together in Charlie Company a most significant part of my life. This reunion will always be one of the most cherished moments of my life. I sincerely look forward to future opportunities to meet again with the Centralia crew and with other men of Charlie Company and Recon with whom I served. I hope we will have time together so that I can lear about your experiences, lives and families over the last 40 years. Charlie Company was extraordinary only because of the men in the Company, you, were exceptional. I urge you to continue your fellowship and bring in other Chargin Chuck veterans. Many at the reunion discribed each other as brothers. Because of your shared experiences you are truly brothers and family. Rank being what it was back then, our experiences were often different. So, though I may not deserve the status of brother, for that time in our lives I was and remain extremely proud to have been what Army slang refers to as your OLD MAN. Roger-Lt. Fry

Also, our beloved XO in training, and later on Charlie Company CO, Roger Frydrychowski. It was great to be with those men again. We will do a write up for the NL about it. Thanks for attending everybody. Lynn

Comments: C-2-22 Boat People Reunion is in Centrailia, Wa July 28th. For those brothers that were at Soui Tre 40 years ago, March 21,1967, you were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for that Battle. It does not show on your DD214 because it was not signed by the President until Sept 23, 1968. We were all home by then. You can apply for a "Correction to DD214, to show you were awarded the Pres. Unit Citation. Most everyone I talked to are unaware that they have this Award. The Pres Unit Citation is a Unit Citation and is equal to the Distingust Service Cross, which is the second highest Award Amercia gives, only thing higher is the Congressional Medal of Honor. This is something that you earned and belongs to you. The Government will send you your medal and update your DD214. You will need to fill out form SF180. You can get this thru the VA or online. Fill out the paper, letting them know you never recieved this award, takes about 3 min. to fill out. Make a copy of the Pres Unit Citation from the Triple Deuce Home page and mail to the address shown. If you are coming to the Reunion, I will have copies of the form and the Citation and can help you fill this out if needed. Any questions, e-mail me...PS If you want to get this online, e-mail me for the address, commit box does't allow the address.

Comments: I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of the veterans out there who have served (and are currently serving) our country. You are so appreciated and just awesome. I wasn't alive during Vietnam, but my dad served, and I just want to let you know I haven't forgotten you guys this Memorial Day. Sadly, we never seem to get to that part of our giant history book in high school, and to many I'm sure it's just some long gone piece of history. Well, you just know I'm thinking of 'ya all.

Comments: I was in the reactionery force to support bunker 65 on Feb 23rd (battle of Dau Tieng) the guys in 222 were the best. Lot's of chaos that night, NVA had penetrated into the base camp. I spent much time with the 222 on sweeps eagle flights and patrols throughout my year there. I was attached to HQ 277 Arty and most of us spent a lot of time out in the field and surrounding bases with 222, lost a few too. It was eerie to read an account of that night and actually find a photo of that burned track and wrecked bunker on the internet, never thought I would ever see it like that. One of my associates here at work was 222 and in Dau Tieng the year before me, we have since shared many photos and memories.

I can remember quite a few names of those I severd with such as: Borchert,Mtrey,Bollinger,McGuire,Conners etc. Also many who did not make it out of Vietnam, Barnardy,Mull, Provincher,Whittevorngel,Kennan etc. If you were a medic or know a medic have them contact me via e-mail.

Comments: I remember "Pappy." He was called that because at "the grand old age" of 25, he was so much older than the rest of us. He also seemed a lot wiser than nineteen year olds. He was one of the original "boatpeople." He was from West Texas, and was an authentic cowboy by occupation. Unfortunately, us medics tended to lose track of each other once we were assigned to line units. (I was attached to Alpha company) I didn't even recall that Pappy had been wounded, though I'm sure I knew it at the time. Mad Doc

These are the "Walker Boat People" and anyone else that served in 66-67. I am putting this to music and have quite a few Walter Cronkite news clips of our company in VN. I need your help in putting this together, if you have names and address's or pictures you can either email them or sent them to Jim Neeley, 419 S. Clark, Aberdeen, Wa. 98520. Any picture that has groups of people or one that you think would be interesting, and would like it in this Tribute, sent them. This has been a large undertaking , been difficult getting address's of everyone. When completed, everyone that I have an address for, I will mail them a copy of this CD. So if you were in Charlie Company in 66-67, please help by sending pictures and known addresses of others that were there. If you have pictures of our fallen brothers, I need them too. There will be a section to Tribute them also. Lynn Dalpez, I need your addresses you have also. So, "Thanks" in advance, this, when completed, will be a valuable asset to any VN vets. My address is 419 S. Clark, Aberdeen, Wa. 98520

What i do remember is he was a fun loving guy. I was hoping that maybe i could talk to someone who knew him there. What was he like over there? What were the circumstances surrounding his death? Maybe someone has a picture i could copy. Basically looking to close the loop on lots of questions that have run through my mind over the years. I am currently on active duty in the Navy. I live in Federal Way, Wa which is just North of FT Lewis. Served our country for 22 years now. I have made many sacrifices but nothing i have done can ever come close to what the Nam Vets have endured. I will be a fequent visitor to this site so keep the stories coming. God Bless you all and Happy Holidays. MMC (SW AW) Lester Van Gelder USN

Comments: Served Aug 67 to Dec 67 with C Company 2-22 as Charlie 26 when wounded and became unfit for field duty. Had two reasons for popping in, to day hello and to ask if anyone remembers an incident. Second platoon was moving through light jungle alone in Nov or early Dec I think, when a branch whipped up over the 50 shield and whacked me on the head. Lost helmet, got knocked off track, etc. Shortly after, a fire pissant nest fell in the lead track. If anyone remembers this incident, please email me. Thanks.

It seems that their data base goes back to 1969 and they need to know the hospital one was treated at to be able to look up older records. I know that I was in the 45th Surgical Unit in Tay Ninh but spent a short time being treated somewhere else. Does anyone remember if there was a clinic or hospital at Dau Tieng? Thanks.

Comments: I was transferred into the triple deuce, 4th Inf.Div.Mech. in Dau-Tieng around Aug. 1967, from the 1stBn. 5th Inf.25th Inf. Div. Bobcats, where I spent time after arriving in country the first of April 1967. I was only in the 4th Div. a couple of weeks before the 25th Inf. Div. had taken over the Div. and the area, so I spent the rest of my tour in Co.A 2nd Bn. 22nd Inf. 25th Inf. Div. till the last of April 1968. Somewhere around the last of March, my track hit a landmine. I lost my hearing for over two weeks and part of memory. I cannot remember any names except one, John (Tex) Bergeron from Houston, Tx. I had the pleasure of spending a weekend with him while I was stationed in Ft. Hood Tx. Since I left the army, I have not had any contact with him, nor have I met anyone that was in my units in the last 39 yrs. So I would just like to say HELLO to all my brothers in all my units and WELCOME HOME. This is first time signing in on this guest list and the second time on any guest list.

I would like to know who had the monkey after I was sent to Japan and what ever happen to him. I am sure as time goes on a lot of things will come to be.

Remembering all those who are no longer with us and for the honor of having served with them. Thanks to all that served after us and to those serving now. May God keep them safe so that next Thanksgiving they may spend it with family and friends right here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Saw your postings and thought you may be able to help me. I am looking for Bill Baty or someone else who knows Peter Holt (owner of the Spurs). I am past president of 25th IDA and current co chair of fund raising for Schofield Memorial. The first phase was dedicated this past Friday 10 June. Standing room only including five widows of Soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq and also many Purple Heart recipients among the many Soldiers present. The second phase which will add statues of Soldiers from WWII, Korea and Vietnam will be added by October 2006 in time for 25th reunion in Hawaii. Triple Deuce members are welcome to attend.

He was a 4 deucer, so may have been assigned to yours, as that was his MOS. He was, to the best of my knowledge, from the Midwest (KS, MO, or nearby state) and was, despite his nickname, not of large stature. His picture can be seen on our website: http://www.southern-customs.com/4-2.html Thanks much for any help you might provide. WK Irish 4 deuce/HHC/2/12/4th & 25th ID's ('65-7)

It is my understanding that Bill was with Recon Platoon when KIA. Him, and Lt. Murphy, were killed, when their APC hit a mine, outside of Dau Tieng. Bill Lambert was one of the most gentle, honest, people I've ever met. Doc Matz PS: Are you comming to Kansas City?

Comments: Origional Boat. If Sgt. Penn is out there I still have his book which I need to return to him. He was and I am sur still is a hellava nice guy and had a tatoo on his right arm that said "Stinky". I also have the blue discs that go under the brass lepal pins on a class A uniform that belong to a good solder named Boulgerghard (sp). I wish to return them also with a long over "Thank You". These two guys were in H HQ BN Maint. 2/22 when Dau Tieng was a French atp mine infested hill. It is strange how stuff floates in and out of memories. I remember when Cooper called in an 8 incher when we were on L.P. because he thought he heard something in front of us. He had the radio and I did not know what the clicking was about. I thought I was deaf and blind from that round. I damn near soiled my fatigues. OK, I did soil them. Any one know what happened to "Top" Sgt. who wore the patch of "Merrels Maruders". We used to call him "Combat" in basic at Ft Lewis, but not to his face. I found his name in a small booklet from W.W.II in a book store about 25 yrears ago where he got the Silver Star and Purple Hart in Burma. Welcome Home, Jim

Comments: It is my sad duty to report the death of Andy Leach. Andy was an Alpha boat Original. He died on Friday Feb 25,2005.He was born on 10/03/43.He is survived by his wife of almost 40 years(married 9/18/65)Helen Oszust.He was a 40 year employee of the Buick Motor Div. retiring in Jan 2005. Andy lived all his life in Birch Run, Michigan and enjoyed hunting,fishing,woodcarving and nature walks.Surviving are his wife Helen,3 children Andrew Leach of Cape Cod,Mass.; Dale Leach of Grand Rapids and Troy Leach,Sr.; a grandson Troy Jr., 2 granddaughters Nicole Leach and Shanna Douglas; 4 brothers, Larry, Jim, Chris and Earl;2 sisters, Janet and Helen. Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, 2 brothers and 1 sister. A funeral mass was held on Monday Feb 28,2005 at Assumption BVM Catholic Church, where Andy was very active as a lay reader. Louis Gross was able to attend the service and express the condolences on behalf of Triple Deuce. Andy's firstborn was 6 months old before he saw him. Andy got a bad concussion from a fallen tree limb while doing jungle clearing. He was an APC driver for the 1st gun squad of the mortar platoon. Other squad members during his tour were Joe Fraser(CN)Sqd ldr, Bruce Blakeslee(NY), Lou Gross(MI),Lyndon Burkes(KY),Larry Hansen(NE), Gary Hartt(NY)(on occasion when in trouble). I was fortunate to havde known Andy during our army service both in Ft. Lewis and Vietnam. I also consider very lucky that I was able to renew our friendship in several phone calls since 2001. Andy was thought of highly by all that knew him. We had hoped to get him to a reunion but he died rather suddenly from Melanoma cancer that was just discovered in Dec 2004. It was diagnosed too late and was in the menstastic state and spread thru the lymph nodes and actual cause of death was a resulting brain tumor growth. I was advised by my VA councilor to inform Helen Leach to file and Agent Orange Claim as Andy"s death due to Agent Orange caused cancer is classified as service connected. Please say some prayers for the Leach Family, especially Helen who was gracious in talking with me last night.

Comments: Hi guys want to wish all a great 2005 and hope to see many at KC in May. I have a trivia question for Boat guys and those who trained at Ft. Lewis. I am still on a hunt for my uniform because i want to take the CIB off it.I was looking for my dog tags and found with them 2 little emblem pins that are attached with a goLd chain about 1 1/2" in length separating the 2 metal emblems . One is the Ivy patch with raised gold words on a gold surface above that read"4th division" and below the Ivy leaf emblem in raised gold letters on a gold background is the phrase "USA" the other metal emblem is a 22nd unit emblem. I was wondering where they came from. Now in Ft. Lewis all my spare money went for beer and other essentials. I was after all an Army hating draftee and can not picture buying them with my own funds so they must have been issued to us but do not know any other details. Does anyone else have this silly thing? and know when and why it was issued/ Was it something to go on the class A uniform?? Or what?

Comments: I just had another flashback. Bravo was working with some ARVNs in the bush on foot away from our tracks when a 51 cal opened up on us. Everyone hit the deck except 3 or 4 ARVNs with M-60s. They stood there firing in the direction of the 51 cal fire. Those guys looked like Rambo standing there spitting fire. I don't think anyone got hit on either side. After we got back to our tracks at dusk the rains came. We all got into the tracks to keep dry and some ARVNs were yelling into the tracks at us. The Chu Hoi said they were pissed because, since they were the only ones that held their ground earlier in the day, THEY should get to stay in the tracks to keep out of the rain and the Americans should get out and get wet. Their commander went around yelling at them while beating them with a stick. It was funny as hell and I felt sorry for them as they got soaked for the next couple of hours. Steve

Comments: I was with B company, 2nd platoon, 4th squad (white square) 2/22 from March 69 to March 70. I was home for about a month when I watched Triple Duece on tv going into Cambodia. I carried the M-60 for 5 months before graduating to the 50 cal, then to squad leader for the last month and a half. At the time I knew the layout of the AO but, since no one ever gave me a map, I'm only now learning the names of a lot of places. Question: Our tracks were marked with symbols so you could identify anyone at a distance. If I remember correctly the colors were red, white, blue, yellow for A, B, C, mortars, respectively. 1st platoon had a 1, second platoon a circle, third a triangle, and fourth a square. None of the pictures I've seen of Triple Duece have these markings. When were they used? Joe Spado. I didn't have much to do with the mortars except to let them know where the ambush patrols were REALLY going to be before we went out. You guys could keep a secret from the Platoon Leaders and the CC and no rounds from H&I fire ever came close to us even when we were nowhere near where we were suppose to be. THANX!! All the mortar support was great and the only time I ever saw a screw-up was when a short round (wet powder?) landed on some ARVNs. I think the brass came down on the CC over it. I saw the round hit and at first thought it was incoming from the NVA. This is a great site. Glad I found it.

We lost most of the 2/22 in 65 when the filled up the Big Red One so it could be shipped over. We were down to a handfull until it started filling up again with new recruits. I was in HHC and was the S2 NCOIC. Glad to find this site. Brought back a lot of memories of old friends and good times. Al

Comments: Happy Vets Day all you Grunts. There is a Portland,Oregon restaurant chain that is giving a free lunch or dinner to any VET who proves they are one. DD214 or???.It is for Sunday Nov. 7. They have restaurants in most major cities. They request that you make a reservation but you do not have to.Boston,Providence(Jim May are you paying attention?)NYC,NJ,Chicago,KC(Ival a freebie)Minn. Texas, LA and SF(Dennis Zollo pay attention)Wash DC(Mario don't know if it is inside or outside the beltway.Jim may will give you a safe conduct pass)For a list of their rest. locations go to www.mccormickand schmicks.com, once there click on rest locations, then click on city for listing of restuarants. They did this last year in Portland but do not know if it applies to other cities.I think it is a nice jesture on their part to recognize us vets.It is an upscale chain where the meals on in the $20-25& up range.I wonder if Bruce Blakeslee will take a plane to NYC for a free meal from Florida??? Oh they are a fishhouse but they serve steaks too. Bon apetite(sp) mario please delete after a week, Thanks Gary PS congrats to you RED SOX fans, but hope it is another 86 years for the next World series GO YANKEES

It is important that those of us who came home keep the memory of our experiences alive so that new generations yet unborn will have a sense of honor and the values that we lived by and some died for.

Comments: Served with Charlie Company, 2/22, 25th Inf from June 1969 through May 1970. Left Cambodia a few days after the road ambush on the 22nd of May 1970. At the time of DEROS, I was on the CO's track as the battalion radio operator, but spent most of my tour with 3rd platoon. I went to tunnel school late 1969, so did most of the demo work for the platoon, including blowing up the convoy of NVA trucks in Cambodia. Does anybody recall the day we were looking for a tank and found a Volkswagon with a bazooka on the roof instead. Lost a bunch of good people in both Vietnam and Cambodia. Wish I could remember the names of those later in my tour, but I only carry the names of those KIA before we went into Cambodia. If there is anyone out there from 3rd platoon, drop me a note. There was a Clifton Mack, better known as "Jimmy Mack", Jim Daniels from Kentucky and I'll have to dig up some of the other names. Welcome Home!

After Retiring I work at Ft Polk Issuing Prepositioned equipment to the Units rotating in for their training here at the JRTC, and what do you know, someone said something about triple deuce. Sure enough 10th Mountain brought with them my old Unit down here, I brought in my albums of pictures and after work I went to North Fort and got to know the new men of the triple deuce. It was really great serving my old unit once again.

All Triple Deucers of any era are invited. Over 50% of the original contingent of A/2/22 were from Michigan. By pure luck our starting date is the same date as we sailed to vietnam on the Gen. Nelson Walker. Only 38 years later. This is not being done as a substitute for the 2005KC reunion but to get more of the Michigan guys involved in the Triple Deuce.Please phone or email me for a registration form.I have sent out over 100 reunion packets and expect a good sized turnout.Guys in C/2/22 from Wisconsin & Minn are especially welcome.Also my new friends i met from the C/3/22 Assn last year in Portland Oregon.Anyone that was in the 22IRS are also welcome.

Comments: All you Triple Deucers on the electronic mailing list for the Newsletter...I'll be a little late in sending it to you. The good news is that I got a new fangled computer. The bad news is that I do not know how to hook it up. Hahahaha! So, my son will be by to save good old dad soon, and then I will e-mail you your NL. The snail mail NL went out this week, so you guys should see it soon. Sorry for the delay. Lynn

Comments:Hey Mario, I am glad I talked you into being webmaster. the site keeps getting better all the time. To David Budd, you are AWOL and so is your brother Dennis. Please give me a call your email does not work. To Don Ryan, I hear you are still drinking in the same bar in Lake Ronkokoma some 40 years later. Is the Tavern on the Lake still there. I still remember a major bar fight in the winter of 1963 or 1964, the lake was frozen solid and the fight left the bar and moved to the frozen lake surface. To Randy Kommer, If you were in 'alcholic alpha', Clarence Simponson got a tape from the NYC radio station in early 1967 and "I'm a believer" was on that tape along with "Winchester Catheral"(a song I still hate today). Everytime we came in from a mission that tape played over and over for the 1 day and 2 nights in the Dau Tieng base camp in the EM bar "Ty 1 on" A trivia answer just for you Randy Kommer. Please see my post about this in the archived guestbook.

I never forgot, though, the ones who died in my unit, and the ones I left behind when I was injured. I want to try to locate as many as I can remember. Never knew this website existed until recently. I live in Franklin, TN. but was born and raised in Mobile, AL. In the process of building a house at the moment. My address will be changing soon. I'll leave my new, permanent address once the move is complete. My voice mail # is 1-800-422-1682, ext. 86916.

Comments: I would like to welcome home the men of the 4th Infantry Division and tell them a job well done men. Would also like to comment of the men of the 1st Infantry Division that hit the mine or bomb with there APC, this threw me right back to Vietnam this happened to us on May 27,68. Bob Price myself and most of the men were on top, I awoke two days later with a fractured left wrist which to this day is tough, spleen taken out, but all of us survived. And then to here the treatment of the 4 civilian workers beaten and burned and hung on the bridge what kind of people are these. It makes my skin crawl, if the armmory would take my decripid butt as trade on the 60 I had I feel I need to do something, I'm sure alot of or all you triple deucers feel as I do. Just venting.

Comments: the other day i was laying down on my bed and thinking, the thought was had the Vietnam war, has effected so many people it is a issuse today as it was 30+ years ago, i guess the reason is that most people in all walks of life, are the one's that went to Vietnam and saw what war is, and then you have the ones thaty protested the war and instead of doing there America duty, ran to Canada or where have you, these type of people are always tryiung to make it up to us Vet.,even people like John Kerry a turncoat, will lie for the shame that he carries and the gulit, nice to have them carry the gulit for a while, but what it show's me is that, 1st we the VietNam Vet. was right in doing our duty, and they who ran and protested were wrong, i have a talk with one of the VietNam era Potesters and his, excuse was he was a young kid that did not know better, and i say that is just another lie for WE the VietNam Vet. was the young ones, none of your type still can not just say you were wrong being young is a poor excuse. i just wanted to share that, with some of the VietNam Vet. that are still out there in the streets, still feeling gulity, thats all

Comments:Visited my husband,MACV/USARV surgeon, in 1972. While there visited troops in 3rd Field Hospital Saigon. It was one of the most moving and inspiring times of my life. I will always admire and respect what you did there. He's at Arlington now but he was proud to be of service to our soldiers there and in other parts of the world. My prayers, thanks and best wishes to all of you veterans.
