Trained as a smallarms repairmen I get to Sill and told I`m going to be on the survey team. After we got over to Nam I was told that I was going to be the battery armorer. I was never so happy in my whole life. I didn`t know a thing about doing surveys and I didn`t want to be walking around in the jungle doing them.

Sit Rep, over ? If I can rise from the "ashes", where the hell are the rest of you . . . ? "Andiamo !" "Grazie Mille" to Dave Bennett and Andy Tenis for hunting me down . . . What a heart-warming thrill to hear from both of you . . . I'm making my reservations today; and will bring the more than 800 slides I have to Branson, if I can't get'm up on the site before then . . . If anyone has any expertise in scanning slides, I'm open to suggestions (particularly short-cuts) . . . If anyone has the 2 books that Bernard Fall autographed for me before I got medivac'd and he got killed, I'd love to have them back ("Street without Joy" and "Hell in a Very Small Place") . . . Hope all is well with all of you . . . . I highly recommend BG Burkett's book "Stolen Valor" to one and all . . .

See you in Branson

I COMMANDED THE A BATTERY, 2ND BN, 94TH FROM ORGANIZATION IN FT SILL, 1965, UNTIL I TURNED IT OVER TO THE AMERICAL DIV IN 1967.  WAS OP CON TO 1ST MARINE DIV. AT CHU LAI.    

JERRY HEARD, COLONEL, US ARMY (RET)   

Graduated P-Btry ocs 5/10/1966 Assigned to 2/94, shipped out with the 1/40 on or about 9/23/66. Landed at White Beach, traded our "greenbacks" for script (bad move) Stayed in a "hardback" with Marine officers. God Bless the enlisted men, they all pitched tents on the beach, and it rained all night. Road marched to Camp Carroll. Rained all the way, and arrived to a mud field. XO borrowed my jeep, lowered the top and windshield, and played "Ranger" all day, with my duffel bag on the floor. Spent the next 7 days trying to get dry underwear, by hanging on the FDC generator. I spent 30 days with A-Btry, when the FDC Lt was wounded and sent home. Ammunition dump was destroyed, as well as the shower + "Shitter. Spent some time with D-Btry (Da Nang)? We requested some illumination rounds from the Korean Btry. We were told the next morning, by the Korean Lt, we should be "less afraid". That night, we had a perimeter probe, right in front of the Korean Btry. I never saw that many illumination rounds before. They even had the helicopters put out the illumination. Many more stories, I would love to share with others, who lived to tell about it. God Bless all those that served, and all those that suffered with and for us.

I would like to talk to you concerning your historical account of March 20, 1967. I am, at this moment, attempting to gather historiccal information concerning the above mentioned night. There is some conflict wether there was one or two NVA batteries firing that night. As you know, we fought from around 6:00PM until 2:00AM in the morning when the NVA battery was located to our northeast. We, as a battery fired 90 rounds into their position which silenced the artillery and created secondary explosions on the northeast horizon. It is belived to have been the first battery to battery duel since the Vietnamese war with the French. We have State side news paper clipings noting the same. April 27th was a completly different matter as they had redeployed 15-19 guns, all in different locations, some out of our range, so we could not concentrate fire without being exposed to the other guns.Charlie Battery suffered heavy casualities that night and your participation in return fire wasand still is noted by us. The first night, March 20th, is again believed to have been inside the five mile buffer you posess to avoid your weapons. Please contact me, I have much research info and have more coming, one from a source I think you will find very interesting. Thanks guys for your courage and for standing with us at Gio Linh.

One of the 5/66 OCS class that went directly to the 2/94 forming up for RVN. Mostly FO and AO first year, then battalion FDC night shift ~10/67 - 4/68. Had some pretty active nights. Never served in a "normal" peacetime Army unit -- I wonder what that would have been like....
