I am trying to find a page like the one you've made for our old outfit,
for the the 5th/2nd duster batteries......They truly saved our behinds 
during Tet 68 at Ben Luc...I made close friends with Sgt. Newland or 
Newlon? during these days and his crew...The rumor was that 2 of his 
men were killed after they left Ben Luc and were replaced by another 
battery...Sorry part is I remember nicknames only.....If you have any 
info on the 5th/2nd ,please let me know....I was with the unit from 
the 67 landing to may 27 68...
Sgt. in B Btry Communication Section.

Addendum -

Thank you so much Gary, I have helped organize our high school reunions 
for the last 15 yrs[3 reunions], next one will be our 40th ... god !!! .... 
and I know the work that takes and of course it is easier and we have 
more than enough help so I really appreciate what you guys are 
doing......it appears B Btry never had a KIA[thank god]...Boy was I 
excited when I saw this site....Bless both of you guys for your 
work...I updated my profile already as I just got in to big a hurry at 
first ....
I have some pictures of us on the Walker and in Ben Luc but dont have a 
scanner....But my daughter has a digital camera so I may send you a 
picture of my ugly mug.......I still tell the story of that night they 
left us off the ship.....lol......And to be honest even though Ben Luc 
was the only place we had men wounded, I feel the most dangerous place

I was at was Song Be....If memory serves me correctly the outfit that 
replaced us lost 12 or 14 men[KIA] within 2 weeks after we left....We 
were actually shelled there by pack artillery but the enemy missed the 
firebase completely....I must be honest , I was glad when we left that 
place!....My last 2 months were spent in the relative safety of Bien 
Hoa.....But there was really no secure area in that country.....And my 
attitude was not not the best towards the end of my tour.....I just 
wanted to get back to the world alive.....Funny, I'm prouder of us now 
than I was then.......We fought the most unpopular war in American 
history.....It's amazing morale was as good as it was......Thanks again 
for the site...
