StG-9.JPGMemories of LZ St GeorgeCaptured enemy weapons. When I was out with the grunts, this is what we got ambushed with. I will never forget the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). Sounds just like it does in the movies. It has it's own tune and is very nasty and deadly.Dec 27, 2014

Joe_Cook.JPGHere's where it all began(2nd from right 1st row) While attending the NCO Academy at Ft Sill, I remember taking my turn to march the class. I marched them into the flower bed of the Officer's Training Barracks. I commanded 'Platoon,halt' and then 'about, face' and 'forward, march'. As I looked back I saw about 40 spots of (turning marks) marks in the flower bed gravel. So I then commanded 'double time,march'. A day or two later I was sent to California and then to Hawaii (on a PAN AM flight) and hooked up with the 2/9th.Dec 19, 2014

Courtesy of that ubiquitous social media known as "Face book". Fast Forward to 2014: model turned actress in the early 1960s, Chris Noel was a young blonde bombshell with a number of movies and TV guest appearances under her belt when she first started entertaining the troops in Vietnam. She received the Distinguished Vietnam Veteran award in 1984 from the Veterans Network for her work during the war. In an interview, Noel recalls her life-altering experiences and her ongoing efforts in support of Vietnam veterans. Dec 16, 2014
