101st Airborne Division
Vietnam
1969 - 1970
My Vietnam page was displayed on the www.qualitycounts.com website for many years before the website was taken down.
I moved the page to my own website in 2025. Before joining the Cavalry I served a year in Vietnam in the 101st AirborneDivision
as a crew chief / door gunner. Below are pictures of myself and some of my buddies from my Company.
