Comments: I am a former member of Echo Recon 1st of the 8th from Dec 1969 to Oct 1970. Our unit was with D Co. when we crossed back into Vietnam from Cambodia. We were almost together on May 8, when your Co. found the large cache of weapons. I have been writing a memorial book about Echo Co 1970. In so doing, I have used a significant amount of material from your site. I am seeking permission to use that material for my book. I would gladly contribute funds to your site for that purpose. I would appreciate hearing from you regarding my request.

Comments: I graduated from HS in 72 with a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship, so I missed out on going to Vietnam, but spent 4-years with the 20th Combat Engineer Battalion at Fort Campbell, and served with a lot of vets that had been in Vietnam. Learned a lot from those guys and respect all that were there.

Comments: Gordon, your web-site is remarkable.
My late father, Gen. John R. Galvin (USA, Ret.), was battalion commander for 1/8—Ed Nored’s thread notes he assumed command 5-5-70 from LTC McClosky. My dad is pictured in several photos, including 5-16-70 when Ed received an Air Medal (third from L, glasses). My father died in September 2015, not long after publishing Fighting the Cold War: A Soldier’s Memoir. This memoir includes two chapters on Vietnam, 1967-68 and 69-70. A number of soldiers who served with him in Vietnam visited many times, including then-Capt. Brian Utermahlen, LTG (Ret.) Pete Taylor, Tom Bell, MSG Chris Manis, Bruce “Zorba” James (helicopter pilot), and Jerome Rektorik. I’m working on a collection of poetry and photos recounting stories he shared while working on the memoir. Thank you to all who have shared stories. If others have memories of my father, I welcome them. Regards, Kathleen
