Do you have names to go with these faces?
Guys, Hope all is well with you. Long story short as possible (for me) - a buddy from my team in 'Nam found me and he had SCADS
of new pics, including some interesting shots that are obviously infantry patrols being briefed or making their re-entry report after
re-entering an FSB. I got the Newsletter and noticed that you guys are still looking for pics of 3 of your boys, and hoping that MAYBE
you might find one or God willing, all of them in one of the 4 pics I are sending you. Sorry not all the faces are visible, but cum
se, cum sah, huh? Hey, it's a long shot, I know, but stranger things have happened. And you never quite know for sure WHO might have
been caught on film when the Arty boys were lookin and you weren't, huh?
Worth a shot. Anyway, if they are C/3/22, and the or some
of the right guys, feel free. Even if they are C/3/22 and NOT the right guys, and you wanna use them on the site, again, feel free.
Oh, not sure if number 4 is infantry, but just in case, I are sending it cuz we deen't recognize any of them.
Later brothers, doin
good work! Thanks! Sgt.Mikie HHB,2/77FA, 4th & 25th I.D. Vietnam "Class of 68" focus11c@netscape.com http://277arty.net 602-997-7272
There is a picture of Sgt. Dubose (KIA 1-2-68) and two other men cleaning weapons at the rear of a tent. The tallest guy is David
Smith KIA 1-2-68.

Note: See below the picture posted by Randy
Wehner asking for help identifing the guys.
Two pictures sent from Randy Wehner. We need your help with identification! Here is part of what Randy wrote:
… pic is of, I think, Sgt Dubois [it's a yes, he's been identified]. I need other 3rd plt members from the summer of 67 to help me out. On the back of the pic I had wrote (my squad colored guy is now out of action got shot on chest and hand. The guy with out shirt closest also.) I do know the tent is just south of the command center. I also have a pic of one of my squad members with out shirt that needs to be I.D. Possible K.I.A. Time has erased a lot. I think if everyone would bring their pics to Colorado and set up tables by time plt and year we could find these Heroes. Some of these guys have no family left except our band of brothers. If we could find out where they went to high school we could go to libraries and get yearbook pics.
Bob Bessette sent this picture and description (below):
This photo was taken in front of the headquarters area in Tay Ninh in early 1970. It was an awards ceremony. I'm guessing the guy
on the left is Sylvester (Ellis). Next to him I think is Larry "Tennessee" Lowrance. Below him is Aaron Tilley. The guy with his arms
folded is Jimmy Wright. The guy touching his nose is Bob "Doc" Breault. The last guy on the right is Lt. Schmidt.
Click the pictures on left to enlarge, then name the guys!
This is the first of the several sheets of pictures from 66-67 that
Clyde Potter scanned for Rick DeNomme (see story of the mini reunion on "Reunions" page). More pictures will be added in a few days.

This was part of 3rd platoon at FSB Washington near Tay Ninh in March, 1970. A couple of short weeks later, Erdman was KIA at the Straight Edge Woods. Meadows and Lt. Schmidt were both wounded in the same action and medevaced out of country. Sgt. Daniels was later seriously wounded in the Cambodia friendly fire arty incident. This picture is on my screen saver at work. I've been able to tell others about the great unit that I served with. The feedback I get is always positive.
Thanks for the great work that you, Bill and the others do on behalf of Charlie Company. Without you guys I wouldn't have been
able to stay in contact with all my Viet Nam buddies. Jim Cunningham

From Dennis Krause -
This is a picture of Fred Chitwood (standing on right) in the summer of ’68. Fred was KIA in August. He is pictured with a bunch of
1st Platoon guys. We were in Dau Tieng pulling some perimeter guard and ambushes. On this day we marched across the base to the Latherite
pit to zero in weapon. Sniper fire ended that exercise. Anyone recognize themselves? Please let us know.
Picture on right was also sent by Dennis. Ron Hudson 1st Plt. left & Andy Crawford, KIA, on right.
This is a photo of J.C. Dyer, snapped while serving with Charley Co. My thinking is, it would be more appropriate for the KIA Memorial
page.
