Thanks for posting. This brought back some memories (some good). I was a medic with the 2/502 in '71-72, mostly on fire bases Normandy and Bastogne. I was known as Doc Hatcher and would love to hear from old comrades (or new friends).

To drewas55: I'm not a new age person, and I can't figure out how to contact you directly, but I do remember both of the fire bases that you mentioned - Normandy and Bastogne; I was always glad to get out of both of those places to the relative safety of the jungle.

101st, also known by the Vietnamese as chicken soldiers. They had no concept of what an eagle was. They thought that the eagle patch was a chicken. LOL

@modovonmodo Smith is such a common name that most companies have one or more. There was another Sgt Smith in Alpha Co. 3/187th Inf on his 2nd tour; he was crushed under a fallen tree on Dec. 5th, 1970 (my birthday) and medivaced back to the rear. He was a husky guy with brown hair then. There was a 3rd guy who might go by Smitty on a 2nd tour, but he was from Australia and I think his name was spelled Smythe. Whether your Smitty matches one of my Smittys, let's see if we can find him a home.

@modovonmodo Smith is a common name, but I remember Sgt. Smith who served his 2nd tour with Alpha Co 3/187th Inf. in late 1970 or early 1971; his first tour was in the A Shau Valley, & I think it was also with the 101st. (I also think he was one of the "old-timers" who were at Hamburger Hill). He was pretty slim back then, and he had blond hair. The Sgt. Smith that I knew left the jungle in early 1971 because he had a brother who was killed. He should not be homeless, so do what you can.
