Hello to all, This month I am Honoring PSG Vicente Perez who killed
in action 13 August 1968. He was Platoon Sergeant of the Recon Plt assigned
to Echo Company 5th Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment. I have received
some things to put on his pages from his Son Dale Perez who is also an
SFC assigned to the 82nd ABN. Dale said that he will try to make the
reunion this year at Ft. Benning, Ga., I have just received a Redcatcher
Newspaper dated Feb 15, 1969 and it will take me some time to get it up
on the site since I have to do scanning and typing. If you were assigned
to E Co 5/12 during the time SFC Perez was there come by the site and
take a look also all of you are envited to drop by the link to the site
is above. Take Care Clay

Really enjoyed talking to a few guys I totally forgot the names of these
past few months. The E-Mail pictures From Greg Nelson brought back some
great memories of friends. I was wondering about one friend in particular,
Veto Levechio(not positive of the spelling) He was from New York and we
became pretty good friends at Blackhorse. This was after I got out of
the field. Lifted weights occasionally, laughed along with lots of guys
about our female mascot dog named _unt. Would love to hear from anyone
who has had any contact with Veto or who just wants to drop a line.
Thanks, Jim McClarnon

ALL OF THEM!!----ARC/Donut Dollie ----First 4 months in I&II Corps----1/68----8/68
Hi Guys!! It's been awhile since I signed on... just wanted to catch
up with everyone... Thanks to everyone who emailed me after I posted the
news that my Mom had passed away in April and who sympathized with me
when I couldn't make it to the Reunion due to my son's graduation. I
received my legacy from Mom in December and used it to pay cash for a
big, beautiful townhouse here in Lexington where my main view is woods
with a lake nearby so I can go kayaking after work! It was very important
to me to have this home because one of the comments my VerySoonToBeExHusband
made in January, 1997, was that 'without [him] I would be a bag lady living
under a bridge somewhere'. Knowing the high percentage of Nam vets who
are homeless, this comment terrified me because I knew it could come true.
Happily, that will never happen now. My son, Chris, graduated from Navy
boot camp and basic submarine school, and he is now stationed in King's
Bay, GA, assigned to the USS Tennessee. Wish the boy luck... he's still
sort of clueless... :-D) I look forward to seeing all of you at Benning...
There will be Donut Dollie Welcome Home Hugs all around!!!!!!!!! I'm
moving today so my earthlink address may not respond for a few days...
the other is at work. New address: 500 Laketower #77, Lexington, KY

Does anyone know what became of Captain Joe E Williams,
commander of C/2/3 (from Ft. Benning to Nam by ship).
Does anyone
remember him...anything about him that would aid in a search would be
appreciated. Home town, how and from where did he get his commission.
I
checked with all of his LTs, but no one seems to know anything concrete.
Does anyone have an old order signed by him. I'm not sure if it is Joey
or Joe E. or what.

3/7----Charlie----first and third----6/69 - 12/69----Jan 70
I wanted to stop by to offer my Christmas greetings to all of you that
know me, and all my fellow grunts even if you don't know me. AS I explained
in my last entry on this day last year, I was seriously wounded while
patroling around the vicinity of Xuan Loc. If it wouldn't have been for
men like Calvin Youngblood, Our machingunner Gonzalez, Lt. Adams, our
medics and a man by the name of Rodger Baily, who helped me hold onto
life until the choppers got there . If it weren't for those men, I would
have died that day. I wouldn't have lived to produce and raise a son
who is developing into an outstanding young man. Rodger Baily contacted
me by e-mail last January, and introduced himself as the man whose hand
I held as I myself tried to continue to breath after being shot through
the abdomen, which also knocked off part of my spine. These men all risked
their lives to help me to live. The only thing I can do is express my
profound gratitude. I have no doubt, that due to the nature of the wound,
I would have died before the dustoff came if it weren't for all of these
men. I don't know any of them very well, but I think I have a pretty
good idea of the kind of men they are, and I can truly say that it was
an honor to be associated with these men, and with all of the other men
in the field who heard the snapping of the incoming bullets on a somewhat
regular basis.
Through this web site, I have also re-connected
with Fred Grau, Michael Davidson, and Frank Matthews. These men were
also with 3/7. I was also very proud to be associated with them.
One
last thing - I have lost contact with Rodger Baily, who was in mortar
platoon with 3/7. The e-mail address I have used before is no longer
valid, as the address listed in the 3/7 roster. If anyone can help me
with this, please let me know.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all
of you and I wish the best for all of you. Please drop me a line if you
get the chance.
