I have been looking at reunions in the VFW magazine for years. This site brings back memories of our flight from Fort Benning, GA, on Thanksgiving Day 1964 to Bien Hoa. As company clerk and door gunner, my service with the unit was one I will remember. I was with this unit from November 1964, to June 1965, then to the 145th Avn. Bn. headquarters in Saigon until December 1965.

Old Soldiers Never Die ... As a corporal - I can recall 'posting myself' in front of First Sergeant Allie H. Campbell; in those days you had to have 'permission' to get married ... I had to convince Allie that I could handle it first ... then he took me in to see the Company Commander to get his approval ... that's the way the Army was back in the early 1950's boys ... First Sergeant Allie H. Campbell was the BEST ... He went on to flight school and you all know his history from there ... I stayed in, went to OCS, then to flight school and had my two tours in Vietnam 66-67 1st Air Cav and CO, Co B Lancers, 158th AHB, 101st Abn 70-71 ... I called my old First Sergeant at Lake Charles last year and ... he remembered me ... He was a hero to so many of us - from a time and place long, long, long ago boys ... long ago ... I was heartbroken when I found out he had passed away ... I saw the 'Rattler' pocket-patch on Jim Moore's shirt at our Ohio River LZ Chapter Reunion and just happened to ask him if he knew Allie H. Campbell ... He did ... I know Allie loved the 'Rattlers' and that was all he talked about on the phone ... There are probably a lot of grandfather's walking around today - because of the ways of Allie H. Campbell - teaching us how to stay alive ... God bless him and all his loved ones ...
