Got the first of two today. All the way from Vietnam. Looks like "Dawson" is Nguyen hoang le from the return address on the envelope. And.... it looks really pretty good. The white has a bit of corduroy affect like the "real" one from half a century ago. The Size is just about ex...

You should be able to go directly to it by this link: http://www.6thofthe31st.com/gallery/ind ... Greg-Gresh

You can also find it by just going to the album that links from the border of the front page www6thofthe31st.com and just browsing Charlie Albums.

It seems to me we drank unseen water. Water went from metal water buffalo to opaque green canteen. The only examination we did was to examine the taste. If we were really thirsty, like most of the time, the taste didn't count. But remember the resupply bladders? White plastic jugs. They weren't hidi...

Check out your email, Greg.

We have a photo "Gallery" you can see the link from the "front page" of the site in the black bar. If you want to get to Charlie photos directly click this sublink : http://www.6thofthe31st.com/gallery/index.php/CharlieCompany .Each photo with someones name you see on that link c...

The messageboard had a catastrophic failure related to a server failure and hasn't been fixed and may or may not ever be. I don't know what kind of photos you have but there is a work around as a link to some photo host site. Just copy and paste the address that shows in the header of the photo host...

Right after the above post I noticed he was offering another one identical to the one I bought. I sent him this message: Your previous message I see you have another for sale. Did you have them made or make them yourself? How many can you sell? Reason is I served in that company in Vietnam and I kno...

I read a story on the AP about how people are lining up to buy guns and ammo. I guess people are thinking Zombie Apocalypse or just in case they have to make a raid on hoarded toilet paper supplies. The local mayor has been on tv as local Schools are closed by the Governor of Alabama but Mobile Mayo...

I bought this patch on ebay that was a pretty good reproduction of the Ace patch. It's actually made in Vietnam so that much is officially following instructions. I'll see it in maybe a week and comment on how good a reproduction it is and how close to correct size. I sent the guy a message asking h...

And maybe stop sending money to countries who love us while we are at it. Israel gets 3.8 billion a year. I know a billion apparently isn't real money any longer....but it could probably rebuild a few bridges on federal highways that are on the verge of collapsing from lack of attention over many de...

I don't think Bernie is senile. He doesn't say weird unconnected nonsense stuff like Joe. He only foolishly lives in a fantasy land where everyone is guaranteed to live happily ever after ....if you elect him President. Of course nobody ever lives happy ever after. That's only what politicians say t...

It hurts to see a political party, with a easy path to the White House, stumble so badly. All the boys in the back room holding or directing the money of the Democratic party had to do was find some reasonably intelligent warm body, somewhat known, without a lot of policial baggage, that could make ...

The 31st might have to make some adjustments to the that punch bowl thing. A corona witches brew if ever there was one. No hands in the punch bowl to retrieve the coin they used to put in it either. Buffets might be out as organized dining events. One bright side however, as a military event, they c...

The replacement officers photo. This is a photo of officers that were among the first replacements of company commanders... If I remember Bob Stephens correctly. Does anybody have any idea who any of them are? They would have come along about September of 1968. See the linked image. http://www.6thof...

This is from a string I started on the facebook page that I'm continuing here. Robert Stephens, original CO of Delta Company from Ft. Lewis days sent me a photo of the company commanders at Ft. Lewis several years back. Then he sent me a second photo of what I think was the replacements for these so...

Ft. Drum every other year was the idea one time after they got to thinking their main reason for being was to support the modern active 4th of the 31st battalion and be cheerleaders for the forever wars. Then they went to the every other year reunion because every year conflicted with some regimenta...

Horror of horrors. Government spy agency spokesperson asserts, without any actual proof, that Putin thinks Trump is more favorable to Russian than say.... any Democratic candidate, including the Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, and Russian will help Trump. However, nobody is outraged, with proof...

Passed away September 7, 2017 in LaBelle Florida. He had been a CO of Delta Company in 1968.

This is the email just copied and pasted of my response to Jerry: Jerry, if you want to post to facebook, go for it. At this juncture, although there are plenty of guys still alive, there are a lot of guys who did go to reunions in the past that are now dead. We age quickly now. Check out the old re...

Noticed in the Regiment Association obituary. James D. Quisenberry, CO Delta, died September 6, 2018. He was from Louisville Kentucky. He was at the 2015 Branson reunion. It was reported that he was battling bladder cancer from about that time. He left the Army as a Major. https://www.legacy.com/obi...

This was emailed recently to what was intended to be all the email addresses that the reunion organizers had that I gave them that we used in the first battalion reunion event. I know one in particular person, later added to the list, that didn't get this email...the only person I know for a fact th...

No flame retardant in any flag.....guaranteed.

Who says Trump has a hard on for Iran? He's promoting an American Flag business. What could be more patriotic than that?

Jerry and Tuyet, she also answers to an Americanized "Barbara", are celebrating their 20th anniversary of being united after the war. They are into their 15th year of marriage as well. It was cake and party time in Vietnam recently. Because the site is still unrepaired I have to link the p...

I know one Alpha guy. Ron Madewell. He has his reservation. Anybody else from any company? Anybody going to the Regiment Association reunion instead? Anybody who went the original Branson Reunion have anything to say about this new 2020 reunion? It looks like next to nobody is talking about reunions...
