Robert L. Carson <carsonrl@sce.com>
from Lakewood, California
Some help, please. I served with a mobility Air Force unit, 8'th Aerial
Port Squadron in 1970-1971 mainly with the larger infantry divisions (1'st
Cav, 25'th, then 101'st). A friend of mine's husband died some time back
from Agent Orange complications, and she would like to ressurect his unit
insignia. According to his DEROS orders, he was with the 4'th Engineer
Battalion, 1'st Armored Division (?), somewhere in II corps. Not my AOR,
so I'm not familiar with this outfit. Any help would make this young widow
very happy. Thanks!

from Seattle, Washington
http://None at this time
I was assigned to Company A, 2nd of the 3rd, 199th L.I.B. in early April,
1969. At the time I joined the 1st Platoon, Sgt. Hollis' squad,the Company
was at the Binh Dinh Bridge just north of Binh Chan south of Saigon.
We shortly left that location and rifted around for several weeks going
to FSB Elvira, then to do a cordon near Binh Luc, and finally were taken
by landing craft to FSB Barbara in the Pineapple. It was from Barbara
that we were moved to FSB Blackhorse in mid-June, 1969, following, on
the way, a three day stand-down at BMB in Ho Nai. I had become Cpt. Balderson's
RTO by that time, having replaced a guy nicknamed, 'Peaches', who was
going to a job at BMB. I remained in the CP group until the end of December,
1969 at which time I was re-assigned to Headquarters Company as an RTO
joining them in January, 1970. I remained at Blackhorse until May. The
Battalion CP left Blackhorse then to move to a small FSB located between
rubber plantation and jungle east and south of Xuan Loc near a small village
by the name of Cam Tam, if my memory serves me correctly. I remained
there until I contracted dysentery later in May, was sent back to BMB
and finally went home on June 7th, 1970.
Although I am in touch
with many of the men with whom I served, if there are any of you who are
reading this and realizing for the first time that you served with me
and can contact me, please do so. I'd like to hear from any of the enlisted
men, NCO's, and Officers who were with Company A, 2nd/3rd, from 04/69
through 06/70. Take care, all of you, and my best wishes go with you.

may have been there at the same time I was.
Thanks for the great job

Served with Co. E 2/3 from 5/67 to 2/68 as a squad leader. Prior to that
time I was with the 25th Inf. Div. at Cu Chi, Tay Nihn and the Iron Triangle
Area. While in the 199th I lived in a small village called Long Duc in
the Mekong Delta. The choppers would pick us up in our village for sweep
and destroy missions and drop us into an AO for up to 2 to 3 weeks at
a time. Ambush patrols were the norm at night. I rotated home a few days
after the Tet Offensive and couldn't believe the cold reception from those
who were reading all the negative press about baby killers and pathological
G.I.s who were trying to fit into a world that no longer honored them.
Thirty two years is a long time ago,but I will never forget the friends
I made and especially those who mad the ultimate sacrifice. I have since
met with three of my friends from Echo Co....one in Washington, one in
Pensylvania and one from Phoenix, Arizona.
This is a great web-site.Hope
to make the reunion some time.

Hi again. Hope you all had a great Fourth. Anybody have a time line

at Chris and finished at Libby
with Bien Dinh bridge, Fishnet, and Jeanie some where in between but can't
remember
the order or approximate dates. Had a "memories" phone conversation with
Bruce Angstadt this week.
He was with the B/5/12 platoon that was
ambushed and six Redcatchers including Sgt. Cox were killed by an RPG
shortly
after the move to Libby. If you remember Bruce and want to drop him a
line he's at d.angstadt@gte.net.
If you visit my website and have
any problems with the yearbook or picture albumn pages let me know as
I've
been having permission problems with some of the files since
the server upgrade.

during that assignment. It was extremely gratifying to have both of Gen
Bond's piolts, Jim and Wes, as well as his enlisted aide, Sgt Teacoat,
at the reunion. All three of us had some great stories about our Redcatcher
6. Additionally, I was proud to have several members of my platoon in
attendance. Roland Merson, our company commander, Sam "Doc' Rankin, Alan
"Moose" Copeland, Tony "Tennessee" White, Tom Bloom, Ty Becker, John Heilner,

from Seattle, Washington
I began my tour on April 7th, 1969, serving initially as a squad RTO
with Sgt. Hollis in the 1st Platoon, Company A, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry.
I was then the RTO for our platoon leader, 1st Lt. Fisher, and then the
company RTO for Captain Balderson, Captain Hartley, and finally Captain
Frye. At the end of December, 1969 I was denied permission to return
to the field after a R & R and was assigned to the Battalion TOC with
several other RTO's where we monitored the radios twenty four hours a

For those of you who remember Charlie (Formerly Father Angelo) Liteky,
I just got back from visiting him for a couple of days. He is doing well,
is in good health and doing what he feels he has been called to do. I
looked for him for years as he helped me through some difficult times
30 years ago and I wanted to see him again. He is still the same man
he was then, with the same spirit and sense of justice and concern for
his fellow man. We played poker as we did 30 years ago and this time
he let me beat him. I know many of you knew him and still care about
him and that is why I am posting this on the web page. If all goes well,
and he is able, he assured me he would attend the next reunion.

Dave Parks <dparks@flyvanguard.com>
from Kansas City
Dave Parks here and asking for any help any of you may be able to give
in my search for the name of a fellow 199'er. Below is a copy of an e-mail
I sent to Clay Crowder this AM, it should explain the details:
Hi.
I checked out the new page and it is looking good. I'm glad I did too
because I am trying to find the name of one of our KIA. Your scans of
the Year Books helped but I need more info. I am planning a trip to the
Wall next year and want to "say hello" to this fellow. Details:
It
was during the May 5th offensive when the Brigade was west and south of
Saigon. I was on a firebase and this kid was brought in along with two
VC, all were wounded. The medic, a Staff Sargent, worked on him franticly,
I helped him briefly (I just happened to be there when the kid came in),
but the trooper died. He was very young, had blond hair and was maybe
fairly new in country. I am fairly sure he was 11B.
My problem:
I don't have a clue what FB I was on or what unit it was (battalion sized
base, had tracked 155's and 105's along with mortars, It was near a fairly
large village. On the road in we passed some large antenna's. I remember
that when we convoyed through the vil the adults looked grim and would
not let their children interact or beg from us, they just stood in their
doorways and stared at us, holding their children back. There was plenty
of fights around that base, and one in or near that vil. Also, some Charlie
with a .50 cal sniped at us for several days until a tank dozer buried
him and pushed a berm up between us and him and the vil.
Other
things I remember: There was an incident of 22 charlie's marching in line
toward the base, like they were on parade, and a 90mm was fired at them,
knocking down 18 of them with the first shot. It must have been near the
rainy season because when we built the base it was fairly dry, by the
time we left there was knee deep mud in some places. I remember being
wet most of the time toward the end of our stay there.
I was
very effected by the kids death for some reason and have always wanted
to know his name and where he was from. If you could point me toward any
brigade data bases or information that might aid me in determining what
unit manned that fire base, what province we were in, anything! I would
be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

al... you did an incredible job getting us all together and setting up
a whole bunch of new treasured memories. Next year, I promise to have
inserts for the programs with the words to "Auld Lang Syne"... >> I was
just looking at an article that spoke of "warmth, humor, and acceptance"
as being the cornerstones of a lasting relationship... I firmly believe
that we celebrate all of those qualities in the 199th. Lots of TLC and
many hugs, Kammy

My brother Tom's name was read Sunday at the ceremony. (I was the ugly
guy with the cap). I was a little late (should have realized that 250,000
cyclists in town for Rolling Thunder might have an impact on traffic),
but it was very impressive and well-done. For the family members who
weren't there, the Redcatcher Association not only read the names but
placed individual name cards bearing the brigade colors and logo at the
base of each panel on the Wall where your soldier's name appears -- this
was a neat and very thoughtful gesture, I saw it as a kind of connection
of the living with the dead, but eternally alive. Many thanks to all
who sponsored and participated in the ceremony; it was much appreciated.
Again, I would recommend that anyone looking for information on a family
member or friend who served in the 199th post an inquiry on this website;
I did last year and the response was tremendous.

Just got back from D.C. and just wanted to let all present
know
that it sure was good to see all of you again. Each
reunion seems
to be a reality check that always seems to put all of
the other "stuff"
in proper perspective. See you all next
year. Tom, great job on the
web site.

To Peter, Mary, and Top,
It was wonderful. To put together this
group of proud, honest, valiant men, but men of every background, walk
of life,every concievable opinion (and not afraid to voice them), and
to satisfy most of them in most respects, is an incredible achievement.
To do it for 19 consecutive years leaves me in awe.

marty sanders <shaneybug@aol.com>
from nebraska
Found this site and thought I would say hi. My nicknames were Azrael
or $#&%head depending on who was talking to me. I was a day one advance
party member in 66, and was in HQ & 1st platoon of A 4/12. Years ago I
wrote a poem about the "Wall" that the best soldier I ever knew(SGTM.
James A. Diamond)used to end a film he made of the 199th. If you didn't
get the film,but would like to see the poem, let me know and I will post
a copy. HELP???? I need to get a legal question answered by a law officer
from the N Y area, preferably Brooklyn. Please let me know if there are
any 199th relics out there who might be able to help. It isn't anything
serious, just a question about a legal point. Thanks and good luck in
your lives.

Designing
one for the Vietnam trip I am organizing
Fellow Redcatchers: There are not words to express the feelings I have
as a result of this first reunion I attended. I can not describe what
a great time I had with brothers (and sisters) in arms in that terrible
war that took so many young lives. What a healing to attend one of these
events and share memories both good and bad. I haven't met as many folks
that I feel such closeness to in my whole life. I have been lucky to
have run with some pretty big dogs in my life and 32 years associated
with the military but none am I so proud of as the Redcathers and there
wives, significant others and families. I was pleasantly surprised at
the number of family members who also attended. I especially treasure
the time I was able to spend with General Forbes. He is a great guy and
loves the Redcatchers. Unfortunately I waited to long and didn’t get
to shake General Davidson’s hands but I did attend the service at his
gravesite. I was also honored to be the Brigade color bearer for the
reading of the names of our KIA. I videoed several events and hope to
have Tom add them to the web page for those of you unable to attend. My
special thanks to Peter, Top, Tom and all the others who organize these
events and the web page without which many of us would have never known
about the association. I also thank all the attendees to allow me to be
me without judging me, as I have more than a few screws loose! I am already
making plans to attend next year with my spouse and hopefully my son.
I am proud to be a Redcatcher and have been welcomed home.
I
am starting my research in organizing a trip back to our AO, probably
just before or after the next reunion. Details to follow and I will create
a web page and ask Tom if he wouldn’t mind linking to it.
