The state if Kansas is processing a bill, HB2132 that slaps all our Kansas KIA’s & their families in the face. It has already passed the Kansas House of Representatives. HB2132 will provide ‘Gold Star Family’ license plates, but give ‘Gold Star’ status to any service person who dies while on active duty. Circumstances of death are not a consideration. Tragic as any death is, the bill is written such that it will include death by overdose of an illegal drug, death due to drunken driving, death while committing a crime, and death as the result of any irresponsible behavior. The only requirement under this bill for Kansas ‘Gold Star’ status is simply death while on active duty. If you think this is OK, do nothing. If you think this is unacceptable, contact me at: jkhien@att.net

Hello all,
If you are attending the reunion with your husband or friends be sure to sign up to join the ladies group to take a cruise. we have the choice of two different ones. the first is a one hour cruise and the second is a two to two and a half hour brunch cruise. For the second one we need to have at least 90 people sign up and go. Cost:
as soon as I know I will let you know but should be no more than $30 either way (considerably less for the first choice)
Please email me and let me know your choice

I served with Alpha, 2/28 & Charley, 1/26, BRO, 67-68.
Looking for Marvin Hagler who served with Black Horse, 69-70. His buddy, Jack Courter is hoping to connect with him. Does anyone know how to contact Marvin?
My friend, Dale Tolbert, West Linn, OR was KIA in late Spring, 1967. Was anybody serving with him when he was KIA and would you be willing to contact me about this as well? Bob Morris

he did 2 tours i believe in 1968 and 1969 i believe he was some where around xuan loc this could be mispelled anything you help me would be appr thank you

Admin reply: Your best bet for finding someone who may have known him would be to attend a reunion. I would say there is a very definate chance that there is someone there who served with him. You could also go to the Master Roster site on the first page and type in A TRP, 1/11 . This will bring up a list of every one who was in A troop while over there that are registered with the 11th ACVVC. On it you may find someone who's name you might recognize.
If we can be of any further help just let us know.

Come on, visitors....step up to plate on this.....

PLEASE READ AND HELP THE FAMILY OF ONE OF OUR KIA’S....Since 2009 Judy Dietz, the daughter of PSgt Glenn Nicholson (H Co...KIA 5/5/68) has been working to get the state of Kansas to provide ‘Gold Star Family’ license plates for the families of those killed in action from WWI to the present. The ‘Gold Star Family’ plates differ from ‘Gold Star Mother’ plates in that ‘Gold Star Mother’ plates are issued only to women who lost sons. At this time, the Kansas legislators are just dragging their feet. Her’s what I’m asking:

Go to website: www.change.org
In the upper right hand corner is a link to search for petions.
Enter the words Gold Star and do a search
When the petition comes up, you’ll see a picture of PSgt Glenn Nicholson.
Please sign the petition.

The entire process takes only a few minutes, but Judy will really appreciate your support.
