LT - I've been a little slow making my friends on this site and I apologize for that. Life is moving on rather quickly and many are gone as you also can relate to. I can only hope that we can continue to offer support to those who need us. There are many on this site I've come to know only by their words of wisdom. Other's I've yet to really know. I don't make friends well under normal circumstances. Why? I don't know its just my nature I guess. But thanks for all your words of wisdom and for those you've taken under your wing.

Don't know the exact dates in April, but there will be a 47th Infantry Regimental Reunion at Columbus, GA, with some activities at Ft. Benning. The 2-47th Inf (Mech) and the 3/5 Cav worked together on several operations. Since both units were part of the "glory days of the 9th" in Vietnam, thought you might be interested. I don't know how much of spirit of camaraderie the 3/5 Cav has, but at least the 2Bn of the 47th hangs tighter than a cheap hatband on an expensive hat.

All this is a coed affair, so your bride is certainly welcome; some of the activities are a golf tournament and a Dining In @ the officers' club at Benning.

And if all goes well, I'll be installed as the Honorary Regimental Colonel of the 47th Infantry Regiment. This last itme is not necessarily for general publication; I've already been honored enough in my lifetime - inf fact for two lifetimes! - and am not fishing for an attaboy - jus tmaking a statement. My duties would be to preside over the Mess @ the dining in, and a few general business meetings, the fewer the better.

Lt. the reason I asked was that a Seabee who was KIA and awarded the Medal Of Honor was with a Seabee team attached to 5 Special Forces, I know the location, and date. I would like to read about what took place.
