We left Barbara on Jan. 30, 1970 to F.S.B. Carolyn with Op. with 1st. Cav. Div.. We with 1st. Cav. Div. up to Apr. 1, 1970. We arrived at F.S.B. Illingsworth on March 21 - not March 31 as books says ! A General was forcing the 8 inch ammo in ( 40 tons H.E. rds / 10 days ) - we were used as Bait . 3 Books published has parts in there of this Battle and it is a wrongful information on purpose to redirect the blame on A Battery ! Again , hopefully V.F.W. magazine will tell the true story ! M.G. Michael Davison ( II F.F. / Commander ) did not know his 2 8 inch S.P. Howitzers were being used as Bait ! April 1, 1970 - he sent 2 other 8 inch S.P. Howitzers to F.S.B. Wood with additional 3 Quad .50's and 2 Dusters ! Lot more to the story ! Hope the Real story comes out !

Started the site as a way for us to "find" eachother, old buds, and make new ones. Fairly well satisfied for the time being with the results, but plan more, including my closest bud that is not dead, though all the dead are still alive in our hearts, right? So, Art Fontanelli, if you stop in here, e-me bud, okay??? Welcome Home all, and Thanks for serving. Last: EASLEY CommentsI am now in 2-77FA because we have reflagged from 2-17FA.

I thought my cannoneers and chart operators were second to none but this new M-109 is a cannoncockers dream come true. Forty years ago the action on LZ peanut was under way.

Hinojosa CommentsLast: Humphrey CommentsLast: Lapp CommentsOn this day March 21st, 1967 the 2nd Battalion 34th Armor earned it’s second Presidential Unit Citation for its efforts at the Battle of Suoi Tre. It remains one of the proudest days of my life watching those from the 77th Arty waving and cheering as we broke into the clearing of the firebase. This conflict lasted from March 19th to March 21st, 1967. and with the arrival of the Mech forces ended the 3 day battle 4 hours later . When it was nice and safe the brass hats and intelligence REMF’s arrived to confiscate the war souvenirs. Don’t believe all that you hear from the History Channel and Military Channel. The NVA 9th Division commander says that Operation Junction City had no effect on his division , only the un-enlightened media can believe that a commander can loose most of a regiment and say that. Gen Vessey’s spin ignores those who saved his butt for his climb to the Chief of Staff for the Army. We cannot forget the 31 Americans that were killed in this battle Last: McIntosh CommentsI was the Battalion welder on Sheridan Kassern Augsburg, Germany. We were a 8 inch Battalion. Last: schwindt Commentsdoes anyone know how to get coordinates of an action in vietnam. the action happened nov 20th 1966, death recorded day nov 22nd, in the rung sat special zone. c 2/77th fired for us that day, a lot. Last: Anderson Comments1-7 FA from 2BCT, 1ID is re-flagging to 1-77 FA on March 17, 2008. Last: forman CommentsLast: Sain CommentsThis is great. It has brought back many memories that were stored in a place from long ago. Last: Ybarra CommentsI wish I could remember. I was hoping somebody would write in with our activities during that period. I remember coming into Base Camp from Burt. The rest is like a news reel, certain faces and instances will come into focus, then on to the next scene. What great fun, heh? Last: Scott CommentsRe, TET '68, I was Alpha Battery XO during TET '68. We were on LZ Uplift, colocated with 2nd Brigade and Battalion HQ's. I believe that Uplift was the only HQ firebase that was not hit hard that night. Why? The 1/9 did their "last light" recon and caught the little buggers in the open. They put in a "Blue" platoon and we shot the hell out of them all night long. We hed three tubes working, one shot illumination and the other platoon would shoot HE under the light. Not long after we moved North for the Khe Sahn operation, etc. Last:
