I would like to inform the members of the 11th Cav of the death of John A. Sams of Pendleton, OR. John was a member of HHT Regt, 'Indian', A TRP 1/3 ACR from 12/68 to 9/70 in Vietnam.

John passed away on Sep 10, 2012 in Pendleton,OR. John was Cathoic so there will be a Recitation of the Holy Rosary held Friday, Sep 21, 2012 @ 7:00 PM at the Burns Mortuary Chapel in Pendleton, OR and Memorial Mass will be held Saturday, Sep 22, 2012 at St. Andrews Catholic Mission. An obituary can be read and a condolence guest book signed at the Burns Mortuary's web site at:
www(dot)burnsmortuary(dot)com.

I also posted this information in your Visitor's guest book. I am also a Vietnam Vet (A Co, 2/27 of 25th Inf Div, 1966 - Wolfhounds) and felt his unit should be made aware of John's passing - Rest Now My Brother -

I would like to state my gratitude to Allen Hathaway for his efforts on my behalf. I appreciate the list of names from G-Troop when I was there. I also spent 6 months in 37th Med if it wouldn't be to much trouble, could I get a list from April to August 1969?
I have no real information on the names Shorty and Lewis except that they were on track 36 along with ( Sult ), the driver and Lt. Paul Gruber the Platoon Leader.
As the Senior Aidman in G-Troop I was in more than 1 platoon and knew everyone by there nick names? Sorry.
Alvin (Doc.) Ball

Barb M. So you are saying that if we do not go to the reunion we are second hand and don't count. I though that this Assoc belong to all Troopers!!!!

Admin reply: Excuse me? I never said anyone was second hand. I too am an military member and am very proud of my service and that of my spouse.
I simply was letting folks know that we only have ordered 400 of these books and that they are to be sold at the reunion. If we have any left we will happily mail them to folks who want them at the same price plus a fee for shipping.
We only ordered 400 because we have no where to store any that may be left over. If possible we will order more but that will depend on how many additional request we have as the company we ordered them from has a minimum amount that we can reorder for.
I'm truely sorry that you feel we are treating you as inferior but that was not and is not the case. If you want to order a book and cannot attend the reunion, we will be happy to place your name on our list of folks to contact after the reunion in the event we have any left.
Thank you for your service

I'm looking for anyone who was on Track G-21 in mid Dec. 1968, when we ran over a land mine.
I'm Alvin ( Doc.) Ball and I was there but my memory is very foggy. I'm having recurring nightmares of the event and don't remember if I was on the track or not?
It wasn't a really big mine. We unloaded all of the ammo etc. and blew them up in my dream?
Sure could use some help on this. I was in G-Troop from late August or Early Sept. 68 until March of 1969 I think.
My memory is very foggy. I traveled between 2nd and 3rd platoon a lot. Was originally assigned to 3rd. platoon with Lt. Paul Gruber, Shorty, Lewis and our driver was Sult. That's all I remember.
