| Delta Company, 4/31st, l96th L.I.B., 1970-71. The idea of Ranger Bob Delzell for a reunion in a year or two sounds like an idea with great promise. Is Chu Lai still vibrant these days, and would it be a suitable location? I do remember those white-sanded beaches, and mountains to the West during "stand-down." I send my best regards to all my brothers out there. Ray Bess, Houston, Texas |

| D/4/31 196th Oct 69-70. Have been living in Saigon for the past 6 years, taking vets back to Hiep Duc. I would like to find out if any of you want to plan a reunion in Hiep Duc. We would probably stay in Tam Ky or Da Nang. It might take a year or two to plan, but I'd be willing to help from this side. Please let me know if any of you are interested. I have been back to Hiep Duc 4 times in the past 6 years. Ranger Bob |

| SGT Sydney William Klemmer was with A 3/21 in 1968. He was KIA 5/6/68. I'm trying to contact anyone that knew Syd, or has a picture of him so that I can at least put something on the virtual wall for him. He is one of eight KIA's from our small town who have nothing about them on the wall. I'm determined to change that. If you knew Syd please contact me at - polarisdriver"at"jun |

| All You Guys, The 196th is like a "Band of Brothers". We will have each other forever. What a treasure to have in a lifetime.I served with "A" Battery 3RD 82ND Arty from Devens as an original.In Tay Ninh I lived with the Vietnamese and cleared fire missions for Arty.In January 1967 I went to the 2BN 1ST Inf and was with the FO team and floated between Bravo and Delta Company till I went home in July 1967.I have never been prouder to serve with a more dedicated group of individuals in my life . |

| To All of Those of "196th Infantry" & From All of Us Who Served With; The 173rd AIRBORNE BRIGADE - I (we) would like to say... "Welcome Home, Brother - Welcome Back. We've Been Waiting For You". I am seeking information, tips, and any suggestions from any Viet Nam Vets who have made a Return Trip to the RVN that we all remember from a different time. Even more so; from any of you who chose NOT to use an Organized Tour company, and chose to go it on your own. Thanks guys. Peace. |

| Memorial started on LZ Center When Neil Powers, John and Bob and I were on LZ Center several weeks ago. I started a memorial for those who died and served on the mountain. It is simply a pile of stone started, as a memorial but I ask anyone who should venture on the mountain again to add to height of it. It is on the pinacle and is easily found. If you think you will be there and would like to find it contact me or Neil Powers. |
