I came into Delta Company March 1968, as a Sgt just out of NCO school, Class #1, at Fort Benning, Georgia. This NCO school was specifically designed to replace squad leaders and to recon with 4-man patrols in Viet Nam; I was to replace Sgt Peter Mueller. Unfortunately, before Sgt Mueller was scheduled to leave, he was badly wounded on May 8th, and was sent to the hospital in Japan. I took over Peter's squad at that time. I am interested in making contact with any of those who were in his squad.

Happy holidays to all brothers in arms, past, present and future. I hope this new year will be a good one for all, and those returning from overseas, welcome home and thank you.

C Co 1/12 66%2667. Just want to wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope all is right in your life and having no problems.A lot of our brothers are having some bad times and we need to give them all the help we can. May you find peace and happiness in your lives. Remember the ones who paid the ultimate price this holiday season. Hope to see you at the reunion.

My father was stationed out of Fort Ord, California from 1964 to 1972 before he retired from the United States Army. He passed away February 13, 2009 from complications stemming from Agent Orange exposure amongst other things. We are attempting to find information regarding the seven Bronze Stars, Silver and Vietnam Metal he received. My siblings and I are trying to find out what were the reasons surrounding his receipt of these medals. Our father didn’t talk much about the Viet Nam War. We would like to past this history onto our children so they can understand the military life. We know that he was in Viet Nam in ‘66 to ‘67 and again ‘69 to ‘70. If someone could help direct us to the best place to find out this information, it would be most appreciated. In the Red Warrior records we did see where in June of 1967 it indicated that our father took over Alpha Company as the First Sergeant replacing First Sergeant Robert E. Crouch. We do know that he served in 1st Battalion.

Thanking you in advance for any feedback you can provide. My father loved the Army, he served 21 years proudly. Thank you as well for your service. Respectfully submitted by the children of Sergeant Major Roy D. Chandler.

I was with HHC Commo in the 1st/12th from May 69 to June 70. Spent most of my time at FSBs. Saw a few photos on this site of friends I remember.

Wish you all the best.

Hello,

Hopefully someone on here will remember me. If you do please do not hesitate to contact me. I saw some names on the roster and wanted to contact them but not really sure how. There was Donnie Uthe and Leslie Graves but hard for me to remember the rest.

Greg Robillard
I know Larry Boyd personally from a long time ago. He was a 22 year old 1st Lt. serving as company commander of Delta Company 1/12th Inf. I was a 19 year old PFC serving as machine gunner in 2nd. plt. 1st. squad of Delta Co. 1/12th Inf. Along with 89 other brave men of Delta Co. and later on in the evening, help from the brave men of charlie Co. we kicked some @$$ on 6/5/69.

I would like to thank Larry Boyd for his unbelievably thorough recollection of this major event. I arrived in Polei Kleng on June 17, 1968 to join Charlie company 1/12th and spent my entire time in 3/3 of that unit. I left the field on June 11,1969 and derosed out of Vietnam two days later. I have hundreds of photos and countless memories of the great men I served with but for some unknown reason my mind goes blank after May 28, 1969. When I arrived at the airstrip for the chopper flight to Camp Enari I passed dozens of fresh young faces on the way to the bush. When I inquired as to where they were going they stated Bravo and Charlie companies 1/12th. From my appearence I know the realization finally hit them what they were really getting into. My advice to them was that they were going to meet some men out there that were going to change their view on life forever. "Stay in the shadows of those that have been out there the longest and you'll learn from them why they are still alive today." Thank you again to Larry Boyd for the very difficult feats he performed both on and off the battlefield. To all my Red Warrior brothers and their families I hope the beauty found in this world has rightfully reached into your lives.

In Peace,
Sgt. Greg Robillard "Maddog 3/3"

In all my training in Boot Camp, AIT and Jump School, NO ONE ever said that I would quite possibly have PTSD from the Vietnam War!! I was with E Company (Recon) 1/12th Infantry from May '69 to April '70. As some of you know, a Recon Platoon was a small group of guys. We had as many as 35-40 individuals in my Platoon, and as little as 25. We could "Recon" areas very quietly, as opposed to the noise that a Company made moving through the bush with double and triple canopy jungle all around! We had walked right up on a couple of dinks once sitting on a log smoking and obviously taking a break and talking real low. Our point man that particular day was a small black guy(Can't remember his name) Anyway, as the point came around a corner on this trail he was literally 10 feet from those bad guys! He opened up as they started dedeeing down a finger, and a few of our guys moved up the column and killed one of them. We followed the others Ho Chi Mihn sandals down the finger and discovered an NVA/Viet Cong hospital or training area under triple canopy jungle that had obviously been there a while! They had split bamboo used for diverting water from a nearby river, and chickens and little pigs running around. Also one hootch had some smoke coming from it, so someone had just been there, but everyone had left except for a sniper! After the LT called all the squad leaders over to a small clearing by another hootch the sniper opens up with an M-16. One of our squad leaders gets shot right in the flat side of those old steel pots we used to wear and the bullet zips around the helmet liner and comes out not hitting the squad leader. His steel pot had a hole in it about 2" in diameter! I've often wondered if he kept that steel pot. Anyway, I really wanted to talk about my appeal, so I'll put that last. I was told today that VA is way behind on claims, so I imagine it will be about another month before I hear anything. Right now I'm at 50%. Take it easy everyone. Until next time, Vincent

Assigned to Co D as a infantryman, moved up to company RTO. Where has the last 41 years gone. Anybody out there who remembers me.

Hi

I'm a Vietnam vet also, 1st Cav. I live in Taunton, Ma and was looking for a picture of Sgt John Raymond. He was one of the 13 KIA's from Taunton in Vietnam. The Mayor here is a history buff and wants to do a special presentation on the 13 from taunton. I have found a picture of Raymond from WWII but an lokking for one from Vietnam. He was born in 1917 and was seriously wounded in Anzio during WWII. He left the service and then went back in and was killed at the age of 49. he was in the 1st Plt, C Company in 66-67

If anyone has a picture or has anything they would like to say about him please e mail me.

The Washington Post had an obit for General Wright on 21 Aug 2011. It mentioned he commanded 1/12th Infantry in 1967, in Vietnam. He was commissioned through ROTC from University of Iowa in 1950, served in Korea. Last assignment was CG, US Army Training Support Center. His decorations included Silver Star, Legion of Merit w/OLC, Air Medal w/5 OLC, Purple Heart, CIB and Parachutist Badge. He retired from the Army in 1980. He then joined the faculty of Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. General Wright will bured at Arlington on 5 December.

It's been awhile since I've come on board the Guestbook as my computer was stolen about 5 months ago! Arrgg*+#!! Anyway, I've been waiting to talk to another Psych about my appeal of 50% for PTSD. This is the longest I've had to wait for my appeal to be heard. I had talked to a Dr. Flood way back on Oct. 29, 2010. For those of you who know me from my previous Guestbook listings, I was with Company E, 1/12 Infantry "Recon" from May '69 to April '70. And I have yet to run across anyone else that I served with that servived the 'Nam. So is anyone out there?

My dad, Edward (Ed) Albin, was a squad leader (SGT) with Bravo Company / 1st Battalion / 12th Infantry. He arrived in Vietnam on November 24th, 1966 and departed on March 10, 1967 due to malaria. I would like to make contact with anyone who might remember him or happen to have photos of him. I wish I had learned more about his exeriences in Vietnam but he passed away in November of 1989. Any information would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Ed Albin, Jr. (son)

I respect and appreciate all you guys went through. My Dad was Bill Mummert. If anyone out there remembers him, you can drop me an e-mail. I remember him mentioning a 1st SGT Ragland saving his life. He never talked about it much, but he had good things to say about his platoon mates.

I tired to respond to Margret Silva but had the email bounce from the posted email address. Margie, if you read this, please contact me and I'll provide what information I know. Joe Silva and I were together the day he died, and my platoon responded to the incident.
