We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: CIB and Air Assalut

Some of the guys in Vietnam who were assigned as forward observers to the Infantry units feel slighted as you do about the Air Assault Badge. We ate, slept, fought and many died as grunts with the Infantry but the Army said they were not qualified for the CIB because they were Artillery. I landed in my share of hot LZs, hit by shrapnel and shot in the shoulder while in the A Shau Valley but no CIB or Air Assault Badge. I was with COL Gordon Roberts when he earned the MOH on July 11, 1969 on Hill 996 and he is still in the Army at Fort Bragg, NC
