John Conley - 14 Jun 2001 - From February 7, 1967, through February 7, 1968, I was the Platoon Leader of the 2nd Platoon of "B" Troop, then the XO and finally the Troop Commander during the first Tet Offensive. After a month stateside I returned to be Adjutant for a month and became Troop Commander of "A" Troop from April 17, 1968, until September 13, 1968 (Friday the 13th - best day of my life - twice - once on either side of the international date line). I am extremely proud to have been in the real Cavalry and served with the best America has to offer. After a lifetime in management I went back to school (University of Florida) to earn a Juris Doctorate a little over 3 years ago. My law office in Clearwater, Florida is adorned with my military memorabilia. I am proud of my military background, and my heart is still in the Cavalry and on the battlefield. I have learned that the public respects a military man who has the balls to not hide his history. I have also learned it is good for business. I encourage all my fellow troopers to allow themselves to be recognized as the heroes they were and are. Our country needs genuine heroes to emulate. Prepared and Loyal. ConleyatLaw@AOL.com. PS. Has anyone found Fred Currier yet? If anyone has his SSN, please contact me and I may be able to help locate him.

Bill Bowker Jan 7, 2001 I have been trying to remember the name of the Mess SGT that was hit in the face. As I released the door latch on A9er, he reached to help and took mortar that hit the top of A8. If his head wasn't in front of mine, it would have hit me. I would like to tell him I think of him alot. I only saw him that one time! Also I can't remember the Motor SGt's name and don't remember what happened to him. He taught me a lot and I probably owe him my life! This all took place in June 67 at a Fire Base around 155 self propelled guns. I remember them firing point blank, trucks filled with ammo burning and enough VC for everyone. I know this is a lot to ask but if any of you can remember their names or know how I can get in touch with them, please let me know. Prepared and Loyal.
