Lz Carolyn....39 Years Ago Today
I just want to take a moment and say a silent prayer for all those brave Sky Troopers of the 2nd Bn. 8th Cav, Companies C, E, and HHC, and all the artillery, cooks and clerks who fought the battle of LZ Carolyn 39 years ago today. C, E, and HHC were awarded the Valorus Unit Award that night as they fought off, hand to hand, the 95th NVA Regiment who had intended to give the LZ to Ho Chi Minh as a birthday present. I would also like to thank the Air Force and the 9th Cav for their air support, who , without, I may not be here today. I would also like to thank Doc Fred and all the men and women of 15th Med who took such good care of wounded and dying Sky Troopers who fought their hearts out and won the battle against overwhelming odds.
I salute all my Comrades alive and dead.
HONOR AND COURAGE!
Airborne!
Pack
