Got the word Wesnesday morning that my son passed Geometry and got a
96 on his English final... HE'S GOING TO GRADUATE SUNDAY NIGHT!!! I'm
going to miss you all so much... I can't believe that I won't be there
to lead "God Bless America" and "Auld Lang Syne"... Don't let anyone
chicken out on the singing... it's important to remember ALL of those
from whom we've been separated for so many years, both living and living
only in our memories. Please remember me and hug each other every chance
you have. Tell someone what they meant to you incountry or since you've
been home. We are survivors for a reason; let's make our lives count
for those who can't. My love to all of you... May God bless you and comfort
you during this most special weekend. I've mentioned the 199th tradition
of reading the names of our dead on Sunday morning on my Incountry Women's
List, and I hope that some of the women will be there for the wreath laying.
DDWHHs all around!!!!!!!!! Kammy PS: My heartfelt thanks to all the
guys who wrote to me after my last 'whine'... Your messages lifted my
spirits and kept me going... Somebody take pictures, please!!

I hope to hear from any Redcatcher "Cottonbalers" who were in A 3/7 during

I left the 199th in January '68 when I extended my
tour in-country and signed on as a gunner on UH1-C's with the 187th Aslt
Hel Co, "Rat Pack" gun team
in Tay Ninh. I look forward to seeing
some familiar faces this Memorial Day Weekend!

Well, the old uniform doesn't fit anymore,
Target practice
now takes a lot more from the eyes...
I don't remember many verses
to old "Sound Off"
and what was the max range of the 155s?
We
used to shoot with help of GFTs
Now Redlegs use only computer-ese.
We
could go anywhere with jeeps in low-range
Now HUMMV's need a wide
road...quite a change!
We always had smart soldiers who hit the
mark
Now we have smart bombs..sometimes in the ball-park.
I started
out with the M-1 and carbine
I left as electronics (and women) came
into the line.
I once packed an American Colt .45
They now
use a foreign "Beretta" to stay alive.
I don't know why we made that
change
It surely didn't give us a more lethal range!
I look
back many years on a war called "wrong,"
But we did our job to suppress
the "Cong."
The guys in the foxholes did their duty to their country
Maybe
the guidance at the top was the place it was faulty.
In peacetime
the civilians may not readily realize
That this peacetime is due to
their military guys.
I put up the flag today, it's about all
I can now do
But I'm proud of that flag and proud to have served..
to have served with you!

Hey fellas: I am amazed that this website exists, it's truly a gas. I
don't know if anyone remembers me, I was the leader and trombone player
for the band from BMB, THE REDCATCHER EXPRESS. If anyone remembers, please
e-mail me at the address above. I would like to correspond with anyone
who remembers the band. I'm also looking for the other band members. Looking
for John Fitzgerald, guitar, Pride Coffey, bass, Fagan, trumpet, Zimmerman,
bass (I don't remember first names) Aaron Burke, drums, Henry Morfi, drums,
Toney Holiday, lead vocals, and Earle Wright, guitar. If anyone knows
of the whereabout of these guys, I would appreciate knowing where I can
contact them. Also, I just completed a book on my Vietnam experience as
a REDCATCHER and hope to have it on the internet at 1stBooks.com within
6-8 weeks. The book is entitled THE REDCATCHER EXPRESS, which was also
the name of the band, and it underscores the adventures the band went
through.

I was a Sgt. E5. At first I was assigned to the Tiger Jeeps at FSB
Nancy then I humped with the Recon platoon. I remember working with the
ARVN unit down in Dinh Quan. We had a Kit Carson scout that operated
a laundry in the village. I was there when Nancy nearly burned down due
to a fire that started in one of the morter pits. Does antone remember
the new firebase we helped setup Northeast of Xuan Loc (I think). We
were nearly overrun by the 33rd NVA. Too many years, too much murk.......

Hi Guys! It was great to see some of you at the Melbourne reunion...
:-D)! Sad weekend, too. My brother reached me just before the closing
ceremonies at the Moving Wall to tell me that my Mom had passed away Saturday
afternoon. My soon-to-be-ex-husband forgot where I was staying so it
took a relay from the police in Peachtree City, GA. to the police in Melbourne,
FL to the park rangers at Wickham Park to find me. Was able to sing 'Amazing
Grace' at her funeral and to tell some great MOM stories that had people
laughing as well as crying... Got back to Lexington to find out I'd been
fired by my divorce lawyer... told Geoff that he won and to have his
lawyer draw up the papers... enough is enough. So, if you have written
to me and not heard back, please know that I still care about all the
Redcatchers and send lots of DDWHHs. Tom Kennedy volunteered to lay the
DD Wreath for me after the names are read. It will be delivered to the
hotel on Saturday morning. Thanks to everyone who has sent notes. Love
and hugs, Kammy

This is a great site. Am astonished to have found two men I served
with (Dennis Looker & Ram. Chavez). I only wish this technology was available
25 years ago when my mind was more clear and less forgetful!Wouldn't mind
touching base with Carl Rau II from MO; Alfred McCarthy(Speedy)from NY;
Jim Hannah, Carson City, NV; Darryl Siegfried, Oceanside, CA; Jim Henegan,
Yakima, WA; Richard Knight, Concord, CA; Gary Wiffler, Tacoma, WA; Robert
Moore, Ft. Collins, CO. and Henry Schroeder, Muncie, IN. These are just
a handful of men it was a privilege to serve with. Good luck to them
and the rest! It was just good luck to have been able to arrive home
safely and in one piece. I salute all those who were not as fortunate.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. This year I am bringing
my better half. Last year was my first reunion and it was absolutely
great. We are so lucky to have very dedicated people organizing the event.
I am interested in a return tour to Vietnam, probably next year, and would
love to help organize a 199th trip whether that is 2 or 50 people. Maybe
we can talk about it at the reunion. I am thinking it would be for about
14 days and cost around $3,000 or less.

Great article in May Readers Digest, FOUND: The Lost Children of Saigon.
If your still looking for a reason this might help. Still hoping to find
someone who might know something about Chaplain James Craig. If anyone
remembers me, give a shout. I just remember a name: Lonnie, he was the
Colonels' radio man, anyone hear from him.

On my first night of vacation in Viet Nam, in Hanoi, on February 15th,
2000, I wrote notes from which came the following article which was printed
Sunday, April 30th in the Seattle Post Intelligencer. In the paper the
article was dedicated to the men of Company A, but by extension my dedication
includes all of the men of the 199th without whose mutual assistance none
of us could have survived.
