I was E Troop's CO in '68 taking over from Dick Williams. My 1SG was John Sloat; my XO John Phillips and Bob Hess my 1st (?) Plt Ldr. I recall Sgt Ron Reagan and am lost right now on exact names of others of you on short notice. I was S-2 Air foe 173rd and was sent to Task Force South as S-2 before coming to E Troop. I've since hooked up with Chief Jack Talbot from 61st AHC, Lucky Stars here in CA. I distinctly remember 1SGT John Sloat dissing MAJ Rewerts as a "leg" running the Bde Staff on PT around the Crap Table and the generator in the minefield around E Troop, Does anyone remember SGT Tadina from our Co "N" LRRPS gratifying "Tango" after the Labradore Retriever pulled the team's bacon out of the fire by refusing to leave the HLZ (thereby prematurely triggering an ambush saving the team?

Was there late, was with the N-Ranger company. As the Herd started standing down I transferred over around June or so. Did some guard on the Tam Quahn bridges, ran the An Khe pass, secured the airfield at An Khe after the 4th ID pulled out (Zips living in the hooches on one side of post and us on the other, fire fights along the stream running through the post). Bole's Gypsies. Can you believe that was over 30 years ago?

Would like to find other people who were there. Have found Mad Mac and Donald Plamer. Please feel free to E-mail or call if you remember "The Moose" who was blown off a tank going to Fire Base Nancy. Mad Mac was the driver who saved me. E/Troop 17th Armored Cav 173rd we all should have received the Air Assault Badge because we all did it on on the job training in Nam! This happened when we were changing over. We at the time were with the Nov. Rangers. Good luck to all finding our brothers. Hooah! (Thanks Mike for the correct spelling on that)

I have made contacts with Don Palmer, Steve Brion, and also with Edward Nunez from the same time frame and platoon. I also found that Ronald Berryhill died in an oil field accident in Eastern Oklahoma, sometime in 1972 or 1973 shortly after his discharge from the service. I have photos to share with the rest of the hooah troopers of the Cav,as soon as I can figure out how to put them on the web site, I will send them. I hope all of the troopers have had a wonderful and happy holiday season. Michael C. McSpadden

Knew some of the Cav guys and am looking for Mike Flynn who came to the LRP Platoon from Troop E. Mike re-enlisted in the Army after Vietnam and became a Chaplain. Was saddened when I heard that Cavalryman Tom Haney was killed, we talked and fooled around occasionally. When I first got to the platoon I patrolled with Jake's team and then for about two months I was a fill in on many different teams. Toward the end I served with Jake as his Assistant Team Leader until I was getting ready to ETS out. I was replaced by Reed Cundiff. Had the pleasure of patrolling with guys like Larry Cole, Roger Bumgardner, Chris Christenson, Bruce Porter, Jake, Tom Kaiser, Brune, Ralph Raperto, Kevin Leahy, Bob Roedocker, Roger Brown, Sgt Guill, Bill Collins, and a host of other great people. The only regret I have today is the in-ability to travel to see all you guys. I am pretty much stuck nearby due to family matters. Best Wishes to all the 17th Cav Guys and my comrades in the 173d LRP Platoon (Provisional). Bill Ricca

Time has faded my memory but I think it was the 4th Platoon. S/Sgt Allen was the platoon leader for most of my time there. Sgt. Albert English was our Sgt. I just made contact with him on August 19, 2003, the first time since 1967. The 3th weekend in July we have had a Vietnam Vet Reunion for the past 13 years. I am trying to get a E-17 reunion going at the one scheduled for 2004. If there is any interest in one, let me hear from you. I already have a small e-mail list of E-17's.

Brian J. Sutton was the finest person I have ever met. He took chances that no other person in his position ever did. I remember we were riding in his jeep and he got shot in the leg by a sniper. He turned around and looked at me and siad "George the bloody bastards shoot me". Typical Sutton! He was back in the field on crutches in 3 weeks! I hope that all of us have an opportunity to meet and remember someday!

I came to the LRRP in August,1966 and formed the Last team of the platoon, which was team 7. Prior to that I was a squad leader in A1/503. The original members of team 7 were Ron Davenport, Chris Christensen (TURTLE), Ralph Raperto, Evans and myself. For information that anyone does not know= Major Sutton was killed in 1969 while serving as a Battalion Commander. Major Sutton was widely respected as an Officer and as a Soldier from all of the LRRP. Any of you ex LRRP soldiers are highly encouraged to join the 75thrra association. Reed Cundiff is our unit director. Reed was in the LRRP in 66-67 serving as the team leader after SSG Jakovindo DEROSed. SGM Ret. Vladimir Jakovenko will be inducted into the Ranger Hall Of Fame in Aug.2003 at Ft. Benning. Jake after leaving Vietnam joined the Green Berets and Participated in the Son Tay raid.

Just like to know what happened to two African American fellers that had an A.P.C. called "Deep Purple". I don't remember their names but they were called, "Baby Cakes & Double ugly" One was a Pharmacists assistance. All our fellers had extremely bad Tinea and he fixed us up. We met at the creek crossing where we first went moved into the Iron Triangle. Just a thought.
