To any that are interested. This 15 of April is the 32nd aniversity of the contact off Mile High.A number of us from D 1/35 are taking a moment at 2pm thier time to remember those lost on that day and all those lost in our time. We will take one minute and say a few quite words. The word a few of us have dicided to use are as follows.



Lord we take this moment to remember our brothers.

Let us not dwell on the bad but remember the good.

Let us accept that we did our best and let us feel not guilt we are not with them.

Let them know that they live always in our hearts and thoughts.

Lord keep our brothers well till we meet again.

comments:   Hey guys,

We need your assistance. If you served with 1/35th 3/35th or 1/14 between Jan. 1967 and March 1968 Richard Arnold has a list of 100+ possible Cacti KIA's from this time period.

You can view this list under 3rd Brgde KIA's at this site.

Please, If you were with one of these units during the above period, take a look at the list and see if you can identify anyone here.

We owe this to our buddies and their families.

If you were with one of these units during a different period (Or even during this period) please take a look at the verified KIA list and make sure that all your buddies who should be there are there.

Thanks,

Doc

nothing of the circumstances surrounding his death or award of this
