Perry, I agree with Tom that you did a good job. If I may make a suggestion as guys look to see who they may be able to help with the HOF on. It may be helpful to have the city and state of where they are interred to make it easy to see if a person can attend or help.

Perry,
GREAT job on the Fallen Brothers page

Well I finally got around to signing up for the 2017 Reunion and making my hotel reservations. Don't be lazy like me and keep putting it off! Get signed up now so we can see who is coming this year. Who knows that when you sign up someone else might decide to come too! See you all in September, it will be here before we know it!

Hey Daniel I got to A Co in May of 70 right before you were going back to the world and I remember Spanky cause I believe there were 6 of us went to the village outside of Cam Rahn Bay, missed our ride back to Phan Rang, spent the nite there and caught a ride the next morning with a Bco or Dco truck into the base. When we got to the guard shack the MP asked a buck Sgt if we all belonged to him and he said all but those 5 or 6 I picked up in the village. Needless to say he made us get off the truck and Spanky threatened to whip the Sgt's butt right then. The MP's locked us up in a conex-cell until someone from group came down and took us back there with them until they could get us a ride back to Phan Rang! I've often wondered whatever happened to him. Never got an address when he left to go home. Just a good memory with a bunch of great guys! There is more to this story I could share that happened that day and nite, but just trying to enjoy life in a war zone!

Google searched all the A Co members to see if any had passed away that we may not have known of. Sadly, I found four that I could verify were A Co men that had passed.

Walt Achillich-----A Co--12-13-16
Richard Forbus---A Co---5-11-15
Gene Lindsey-----A Co---9-9-15
Delbert Owens----A Co---3-3-13

Rest in Peace Brothers.

You guys might want to do the same for your respective companies. I wish we had a better way to stay in contact with our members.

What's Up Fellow equipment operators. Looking for anyone who served with me at Phan Rang A co. paving crew from April 69-June 70. When I got there sgt. Banks was in charge of the paving crew, on the tour I was 2nd in charge. Guys I could remember were, Bird, Spanky, Perez, and they called me Rod.
Anyone out there who can still remember these nick names give me a shout out. Would love to here from you!

I've modified the Fallen Brothers page. Let me know what you think of it.

Hey, while you're there feel free to sign up to be a HOF volunteer or if you can't do that then at least make a small donation to this very worthy cause. Any amount gets you listed as a contributor.
