names and entries from out of the past, LT. FRANCIS LOVE &
LT. WAYNE WILLIAMS. Will try to establish contact with them
and others.

I remain in close contact with my army buddy, Gene Berban,
should anyone out there like to contact either one of us.

What a terrific idea this web site is and my THANKS for making
it available for a special group of people who share this
common bond.

I was one of the "originals", serving in Nam from 11/66 to
10/67 with C/2/3. Always wondering whatever became of Capt.
Joe E. Williams, our first company commander and one great
commander (West Point).

HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU AT THE REUNION!

I was a Platoon Leader in companies B and C 2nd/3rd from late '66 to the end of '67. Recently participated in the Vietnam Challenge, a 1200 mile bicycle ride from Hanoi to Saigon with other disabled and able bodied vets including some from North and South Vietnam
Vietnam. During Vietnam Challenge, I returned to Nhon Duc 4, where our unit was stationed for 6 months. I t was "built up" - paved road, eletricity, telephones and 6 or 7 small stores but still quite primative in many ways. I spent half a day there visiting the school,
the community house and saw several of rhe elder village officials. I was surprised that the young children I had photographed 30 years ago were not there and were not recognized by any of the current villagers. Sports Illustrated TV is doing a documentary of our trip
which will be aired during the NBA Playoffs on Memorial Day Weekend.

I joined the unit in late September 1966 being transfered from Ft Campbell where I was a drill sgt.
I was assigned to the 199th Lt Inf Bgd HHC Rifle Platoon to the 1st Squad and acted as Platoon Sgt in VietNam. Would really like to hear from Thomas C Tatar, Francis Dean or Larry Greer. Have made contact this year with Ronald J Meade, no one else yet. WHERE IS LT. PARKER?
I'm not sure who might remember this but I was the guy that cut his leg with a machetti on manovers in the Iron Triangle and was ordered off the battle field by the CO of the company our platoon was working left flank for, after about 2 hours I was Medivac'd to a MASH unit where I got patched up and returned to the unit the next day.
I don't really remember everything yet but have for the last 10 years been piecing things togeather. I have lived in the Desert for the past 20 years prety much keeping to myself.
The internet seems to be bringing me back out again, Sooooo keep up the good work, this site will be of help to us all.
I do have stories but will not be able to write them down for a bit, but I'll send them to you when or If I can do it.
So I'll close with my daily proclomation, (I started saying this when I joined the service.) "And so ends another day in the life and times of Patrick J."

Robert Williams <lanpdrew@aol.com> from Louisiana
Assigned to 2/40 FA October 68 to October 69 (366 days, got bumped for a Red Cross emergency leave). When I checked in from 90th Repple Depple, 1st Sgt gave out the assignments. All the other FNGs were assigned to gun sections. When the 1st Sgt got to me he said, "Delta Co." I knew there weren't any companies in the artillery, so I spent most of the year as a FO/recon sergeant with C and D 4/12 at FSB Pineapple, Binh Dinh Bridge, FSB Joy, and Xuan Loc among other scenic places. Really great to find this site, it's so rare to meet anyone who served in the 199th LIB.

I casn sympathize with the comments about never meeting another
member of the 199th. I was in the USAR for six years, Baton Rouge-
Mesquite,TX-Ft. Belvoir as an instructor at the Bridging Branch. I met
only one other Redcatcher in all that time. Few GIs could
even identify my patch, thought it was some kind of USAR or
NG unit.

AMBUSH ALLEY

A burnt out ACAV ( Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle ) and duce and half rested along the side of the road from Long Binh to War Zone D in the morning rain. I noticed the white letters on the side of the ACAV: LUCKY. As the wipers throb, and scrape, I think to myself that I should have stayed home and finished high school. I felt a little guilty, shifted gears, and accelerated, weaving through and past the other drivers on my way to fire support base Nancy outside Dinh Quan. As long as there is traffic on this road there is safety in numbers.

Racing through the villages in the rain, you try to avoid people, animals, and little children. There are no red lights. Everywhere radios blasting some Vietnamese love song sung by a Vietnamese woman. Probably singing about lost love, it sounds sad, but soothing. That same song drifting from every window, house, and shop. Many of the people listening. For Americans, it was always the background ambience that filled in the big picture. A few people stop what they are doing and look at you as you drive through their village. That look with a question. I glance back and think I'm the lucky one. Some purposely don't look at you. They're just moving props, going back to their daily routines.

The rains try desperately to clean the village of that unfamiliar smell, but to no avail. It's a dirty place and a dirty war. The cleansing will take a long time. As I leave the village I think about that poor guy in the lucky truck and wonder if he lived. I feel a little guilty as I steer out of the village back onto the long, straight, and empty road lined with jungle on both sides. I reach over, flick off the safety on the M-16 in the passenger seat, shift gears, press the peddle to the floor, and accelerate. I think to myself, today, will I be LUCKY.

Formerly SP5 E-5 with HHQs 199th, June 1966 to November 1966. Brought back from 19 months in Germany and spent Summer '66 at Fort Benning (Sand Hill, I believe) helping form the unit. Went to Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for the six weeks of jungle training in September 1966. Trained for casualty reporting with HHQs. Reassigned to HHQs, US Army Infantry Center, Fort Benning, in November 1966. Last HHQs 199th assignment was loading the rail flat cars and the sea containers for the unit's trip to Vietnam. Have never forgotten my experience with the 199th, no matter how brief. Was pleased a few years ago when I found that Time-Life had covered the "RedCatchers" in one of their volumes on Vietnam. Really enjoyed the site and will return. Welcome home!

Served three tours in Nam and Cambodia (2/1970 - 3/1972) with D Bty/25th Arty later the 277th Field Arty and the 264th Field Arty at FSB Happy in Cambodia. Most of this time lived in a compound in a small ville in the same area as 199th in the "pineapple plantation" area near Duc Hoa.

Have had the good fortune to have been able to return to Nam three times since 1989. The first trip back was certainly an experience that I will never forget. It hurts to say it, but I got a better welcome from the Vietnamese when I returned in Feb. 1989 than I ever got from my countrymen when I came home in 1972.

Only been able to keep in touch with two of the 25 or so men that rotated through our team. Really envy those of you who have units large enough to have reunions. I sure wish that I could see my old friends again.

We were just talking today about meeting World War II veterans during the Viet Nam War and how old they seemed. Sad to say: the number of years since Viet Nam is greater than the number of years from WW II to Viet Nam. That really makes me feel old.

On a brighter note: Hope to be at Benning in 98. Go Redcatchers ! ! !
