    My great great grandfather was an Italian immigrant born in 1889 he served when his country called and survived. He returned with stories of murder. Explicitly he told my great grandmother (his daughter) how he would stab the Germans in the neck with a bayonet. He also had lung issues due to mustard gas. And eventually died because of lung and breathing complications. And died in 1962. I may have not met you but I will never forget what you did for my country.

From the moment the Helicopters touched down they received heavy gunfire. My cousin was killed running for cover. RIP CHARLES. US ARMY. 9th Infantry Division.

    I want to personally say thank you to Hugh Mills. My second cousin was Sargent Jim Gratton from D Troop, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Arrow Platoon, 1st Infantry Division. During an ambush where my uncle was pinned down you went way above and beyond, including maneuvering directly over him to drop down magazines after he ran out of ammo. I didn't get a chance to meet him often, but my grandpa (his uncle) was always so proud of him and let me know how he was doing often. Again, thank you for all the support you gave him and his squad.

My first moments in 'nam introduced me to first the heat, the smell of burning shit. And a night of KP duty!! All before I sat foot at the 90th replacement battalion !! After a few days at the 90th replacement I was sent to join my unit which at the time was located at tuy HOA on the coast. A few days later we went to camp enari base camp of the 4th infantry near pleiku.... I cannot forget the sight of dragon mountain. Then the"fun" began!! Firefights, ambush patrols, bugs, leeches, monsoon rains, and horrors of horrors, THE Dressed HAM and MOTHERS!! Kia's, wia's, the NVA, and theV.C. wasn't that fun!!! At least I have my CIB!!!

    The lead lease M3 Lee earned the sobriquet "Coffin for 7 brothers' perhaps unfairly. Alongside the Panthers and the Tigers the Nazis fielded Mk2 and 3 both inferior to the Lee and a number of open topped makeshift Anti-tank/assault guns. The best feature of the M3 Medium was it's 75 MM main gun that fired a very useful HE round and perhaps would have been better deployed as SP Artillery or as assault guns.

    James said a huge truth there at the end. The 82nd Inf Div was called the "All American" Div as the army was trying to mix the states up and get away from sectional units. James says that WWI was just a generation away from the Civil War and the Southern & Northern men were proud of of their dads and grandfathers for their fight in the CW, but then the army was throwing in immigrants.
