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...

You too Vern. Wonder if anybody but us are even looking at this site any longer.

New leaked information says his combat team members had a less than complimentary opinion of him.

You know. That guy that was given a prisoner to take custody of. He didn't capture the guy and the prisoner was already wounded. He was a teenager to boot. This Seal hero stabbed the prisoner a couple of times, apparently for fun, but his buddy said the stab wounds didn't actually kill the prisoner....

The message is as follows: We hope this email finds you all well, and we want to update everyone on how the recon went down in Branson this past week. The planning committee of Dan Kelly, Elaina Keaton-Crenshaw, and Dennis Kalota were there from Dec 3-5 and met with Sarah Hord who is the sales manag...

Charlie Company. 2nd Platoon. E4. 1969/70. Died October 11, 2019. He was in Siletz Oregon at time of death. The is another Donald Ballinger with the same nick name from Charlie in 1968/69 but not to be confused with the deceased. As far as we know this "Dub" is still alive. Our obituary ha...

They have an old list. Maybe they don't have your email....or they skipped a few names.

I guess you got the one from the 31st Regiment Association the day before. They have their ducks all in a row early it seems and everything all planned out. For a change, they actually used the mass email roster that Jerry gave them some time ago that they apparently never bothered to use before. Pa...

From an email mailed to unknown numbers of people and received today: To let everyone know, rooms at this time are quoted at $85 a night at Branson towers.(http://bransontowershotel.com/) Phone:(417) 336-4500 If you call to make reservations, please let them know you are calling for the 6/31st reuni...

The only people I want to hear Happy Veteran's Day from are from guys who have been there, like you Vern. It just seems so wrong at this juncture to hear it from people who were never in the service and who were in most cases not even born when the Vietnam war was going on to feel they owe us anythi...

They are new at this. They haven't figured out the blind copy feature of mass emails. I'm glad that at long last they did send out an email. I hope they continue to make progress and get this second reunion off the ground.

I now have been told that the email went out to the entire email list. Great. My faith has been renewed.

At long last an email went out today to 100 people. It reads like this: Hey everyone, just thought we would let you know what is going on with the reunion planning. Dan and I are headed to Branson the first week of December, where we will lock down events, dates and cost assessment which will allow ...

Ron Madewell gave us a few more photos. They have been added to the end of his album.

Anybody remember E4 Herman Hamm from 1969 Vietnam? Got any photos of him? His daughter posted in the guestbook.

So far.... nobody that I know of who responded directly to Dan from the mass email Jerry and I both sent out showing interest and offering assistance has gotten any response at all. There has been no follow up email to the entire list that I am aware of offering any information. So far no post has b...

The Barnes and Noble page has gotten a new review. It also links the now you can see it from here site in its present location. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/my-life-outside-the-fish-bowl-urban-miyares/1131082363 I think I know who wrote it and I gave him a thumbs up. What he wrote was this: I to...

The change in the Urban biography back to Non fiction is a factor of the bottom end digital book world. A printed book couldn't be amended as easily until a second edition. No doubt he was encouraged by the lack of interest in reviewing his biography beyond Jerry on one source and me on Barnes and N...

Maybe Texas doesn't think the federal government should start files of information on its citizens just because it can.

Looks like the Valor Guardian site link that republished the original This Ain't Hell string went down and now is back again. That's the link above this post. On the Urban biography that he had the cover changed to "a work of fiction" early on has deleted it and it is now back to a work of...

Did the Texas license application ask if you if you had a passport? The passport requires as much and maybe more than the star license to get. In any case, I hate flying and don't plan to take any airplane trips that I can avoid any time in the future.

Just noted another thing about it that might concern the Regiment Association. If they go back to meet with the active 4/31st at Ft. Drum again as a reunion in 2021 or afterwards, besides the reunion goers who can't fly there, the ones who don't have a star license and drive there can't come on the ...

I was talking to a guy from Oregon and he insisted he had a star license and he didn't have to provide any paperwork like a birth certificate. I took a look online and read the Oregon license information. Seems they actually aren't issuing government compliant star licences until June of 2020 and at...

Thanks to the making America afraid Homeland Security segment of the US government, with the active help of Congress, most people in the US will have to have a STAR indication on their drivers license showing they have been scrutinized before being allowed through the normal security line at airport...
