Delores Tyree, please contact me concerning the Ladies Group fund raiser for this year. We need to know if you are still willing to accept delivery of the books for it.

I just got a message from my brother that someone had contacted him about our uncle, Carver Joe Vaughan, who served with the 11th Cav and perished in Dec. 1970.

Neither one of us had the opportunity to know him personally. All either of us have are stories that have been passed to us from our family.

I am just glad to have some way to remember him and find out more about him and his service to our country.

Thank you for this web site. Such a beautiful way to pay tribute to your fallen brothers. I am so very grateful to each of you for guaranteeing the freedoms I enjoy, the ones so many did not live long enough to pursue. Two families and I are now awaiting news that the human remains sent to the lab in Hawaii last September 2011 are those of our loved ones and friends. They are Blue Ghosts from C Troop 7/17 cav who flew a Huey out of Chu Lai on that fateful January 9, 1968 morning. The pilot was my friend, CWO Rainer S. Ramos, his co-pilot was CWO James Larry Phipps, the doorgunner is SSgt. Warren E. Newton. They had previously recovered the other crew member's partial remains, PFC Fred Secrist nine days after the Huey was shot down. Again, thank you for this site!

I am trying to help a VN Vet with a claim. I was wondering if anyone remembers on Aug 10 1967 an APC hitting a landmine with 3KIA's. It was inverted off the side of a dike. A CH-47 came out from the 200th assault support Helicopter Comp. They hooked up to pull it up and out of the ditch to get the bodies out and they started taking small arms fire and had to unhook and get out of the area then come back. I know the 200th supported 9th ID and the 11th Cav.
Thanks,
Mil Thornton

I would like to hear from any Trooper who was involved with building or dedicating the Blackhorse Memorial in the spring-summer of 1967 (the one that stood in front of the Regimental Chapel until it was shipped to Fort Knox in 1972).

I'm an old Vietnam 2/47th Mechanized Infantry grunt and former cav trooper (6th ACR)who was frustrated I could never find any gear or memorablia for the mounted combat veterans like us who rode the ACAV's and tanks into combat. So I designed my own line. I have a separate category for the Blackhorse troopers at Mech Grunt.com. Please check it out at the web addresss above. Welcome home, brothers.
