I served with the 1st Inf Div from EO 1966 to Dec 23, 1967. For my first 7 months I was the FO for A and C companies, 1st Bn, 28th Inf Regt. I made between 25 and fifty air combat assaults with the unit and have Air Medals as proof. Ever since the Air Assault Badge was created I said that we should automatically be awarded it retroactively. I will do anything to get this accomplished. If anyone deserves this badge, it is those of us who havwe served in this capacity.

I am a Vietnam combat vet (Americal Division, Chu Lai, 1970-71), and remember being in numerous combat assaults, "CA's" as we called them. I think it is a great thing that there is a movement to get back some respect and dignity for what we went through, and recognition for the techniques that we developed. Thanks for the work, and bless all our Vietnam vet brothers (and sisters), and all those serving before and after. Sincerely, Dan Lanning (member of Americal Division Veterans Association)

He was killed in a truck-tain wreck in Feb. of 1978..Bill never talked about Vietnam, just a few little stories, however, I am looking for anyone who might have served with him, or under him in Vietnam..I am also looking for anyone who knew him during the Army or in Vietnam...This is so important to me and my children, for them to know something about their Father over in Vietnam..I look at his medals, ie. the Silver Star and Bronze Star, both with clusters and do not know why or how he got them..This is so important for my children to know and also, mine and Bill's grandchildren to be aware of what some of his missions in Vietnam were. They were so young when he died, and it left with with all of these questions from them that I can't, but feel need answering..He took a lot of pictures of Vietnam, but we can't tell much about them or what

Gentlemen, I served two tourw with the 1/9 Cavalry. Our unit is considered the most decorated unit in Vietnam. Among it's accomplishments is the first engagement in the Ia Drang Valley when on Nov. 1st 1965 captured an NVA hospital followed by an night ambush which destroyed a NVA platoon. This was before the 7th Cavalry assault at X-Ray. The following is but a few of the deed the 1/9 is credit for. 50% of the Casualties inflicted on the enemy by the 1st Cavalry Division was done by the 9th Cavalry. It not only started the battles fought by the 1st Cavalry, but is credited with other battles by other divisions, including the Vietnamese, Korean and Marines. Each of the Squadron Troops (A,B,C)made over 300 Air Assault per year for seven years. This does not count the ones made by "D" Troop. I could go on, but you get my point. I am proud to wear the older Air Assault badge even if unauthorized since I am retired. I did over 200 Air Assault while in Vietnam so I wear the badge wit

I respect your opinion there William, but...MY brother was a FO with the 9th in 67-68, was in many firefights and never felt he was entitled to the CIB, because he was not 11B. It (CIB) was not entended for any but infantry. The Air Assault Badge is totally different. Just my opinion. B Co 2/501 101st ABN 69-70

Hey Lenard, just how the fu*ck you doing?

You always have been my favorite (living) Vietnam Vet and I'm glad you are still voicing your opinion all over the military sites...means the juices are still flowing.

We disagree on this retro REMF Air Assault Badge issue, (and a number of other things), but knowing you I'm sure you won't hold it against me personally.

Hey you take care friend...I truly mean it.

I want you to know I value you far more than you might suspect.

Brian
