| Glad you survived Woody!!! those were trying times and we had to depend on each other to survive. I was pulling duty at "Gimlet International", the airstrip we built in the middle of War Zone C during Operation Junction City, on that date. Take care ole soldier, God bless you for your service. |

| Photos from the 196th reunion have been posted and they may be accessed from the HOME page. We didn't have a professional photographer, so they are a mix of candid shots of groups and banquet tables. |

| Regarding Seale Tuttle (Chuck's message below): You can find more details from the Storke Funeral Home Obituaries (Google search this along with Seale's name). Seale was stationed in Germany at the same time as my father and both were deployed to Vietnam late 1967 (3/82 Arty 196th LIB). I do not believe they knew each other. Best wishes to Seale's family. |

| Does anyone know the medic's name who replaced Gene Lebow (low life) Sept. 1970? 4/31 Delta Co. |

| Armond Darrin passed away on 27 Jan 2024. He was the 3rd Plt. leader D 4/31 from Aug 69 to Jan 70. He was the CO of C 4/31 from Jan-Jun 70. He spent over 10 years as an enlisted man, serving his first tour with the 173rd in Vietnam, before going to OCS. This is probably the reason he took such good care of his men. He could complete any mission, while not subjecting his men to undue danger. I spent 10 months as his RTO. RIP |

| My baptism of fire happened during the period of Jan2nd to Jan 11th in Que Son valley. Through The Valley by Humpries covers those battles. Our unit Bravo 4/31st 196th LIB was just one of the units who fought during that period. Humphries unit is the main focus of the story. So any bravo 4/31st Inf men out there who remember. It was my first 2 weeks in country. |
