This Weeks Quote:
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing
which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill
"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln
Honor them, by never forgetting their sacrifice for your Freedom!

Court Orders VA to Publish Final AO Rule (Click to the left)
I have added a new name to the unit roster. His name is Robert Lowey. Welcome Home Brother!
Hill and Imel Ninja School
Look Out World! Here They Come!
Dave, Mike, Ronnie and several others are moving out on a road trip!
The team has grown. It now includes Dave Hill - Michel Sharp - Ronnie Imel - Ron Luse - Don Hilderbrandt - Dave Flores. No contact as of yet. All is well.
The team has now dispersed and returned to their own AO's. Along the way Ron Luse took them into Bigfoot country to show them where he goes elk hunting. I sure Bigfoot got wind of the teams arrival and fled across the border to Canada!
Mike said departing from Ron Luse's AO was a might bit hard (the good bye's lasted for an hour).
Mike says the mission was completed by his arrival at his AO at 1355 hrs. on the 23 of July. We all wished we could have been there.

TOAST! Let's hoist a toast to those 29 brothers
KIA who cannot be with us this day. They were the best and
are ever in our memories!! Attached is a picture of one of
the finest and earliest "heavy" teams of our unit to ever take
the fight to the enemy. This picture was taken in late
1967, in Lai Khe (remember the sign behind them?), when F
Co./52nd Inf. (LRP) had just been formed, having just left D
Troop (Air) 1/4th Cav. From left of picture is SSgt. Ed
Davis. Next to him is a very young Sgt. Michel Sharp.
Davis was "in country" for nearly 5 years. Sharp for
5 1/2 years. They are legends within our unit history.
Both were in continuous combat roles from 1967-1972. They
were the foundation upon which F Co. and I Co. (75th Rangers)
was built. Both, amazingly, survived the war. It was
one great continuum of military excellence from 1966-70 and I am
proud to be associated with them and all of you. --Dave "Rangers (and LRRPs) Lead the Way" |
