To all the guys that attended the reunion this past week I want to thank you all for your participation and support. All of us experienced a huge level of encouragement and a sense of comradeship. To those that did not attend, you will have a chance in 2006. We decided to have a reunion every 2 years. Please continue to call the guys in the directory and let them know they were dearly missed. You all made this past weekend one of the best in my life. Wolfhounds Forever! Big John (original message dated June 17, 2004) Email: shkdive@msn.com
Found website thru Big John. My Daddy, Bill Butler was in Vietnam. I don't really know what to write ... I've always been proud to say that my Daddy was a Vietnam vet. You guys went thru so much ... I know most of us can't even begin to imagine. A lot of times when I see or hear something about Vietnam, I think to myself, "My Daddy was there." Today has been one month since we buried my Daddy. Please pray for our family. I'm proud to say William "Billy, Bill, Alabama" Butler is my Daddy. I think you guys are GREAT and I have a lot of admiration for men and women who give their time (sometimes their life) to serve in the military of this great country!

My dad, Bill "Alabama" Butler was in Vietnam. Please continue to pray for "Alabama's" family. It has been so hard since he passed away on May 8. You are all heroes to me ... (original messaged dated June 1, 2004) Email: vblanks@charterbank.net
Found website through Big John. My Uncle Bill served 68 - 69 with the 2nd 27th C Company. I spoke to Big John for the first time today, and already I want to talk to him again. I posted a message at least 4 years ago on the Virtual Wall Site, in hopes of finding someone who knew my Uncle Bill in Nam. Talking to John helped alot, but he said there were others who would remember him. Thank you, John, for making this possible, and for being his friend while he was with you. And to all the Heroes who made it back ... WELCOME HOME. (original message dated May 3, 2004)

In Vietnam 7/68 - 3/69 with 1st Platoon. It was great to discover John's site that brought back many memories. Although I didn't know many of you from 2nd platoon, it was nice to find some names on the roster that I remembered (Higgins, Wolff, Zamora, Forman, Tubbs). I've got a pile of slides and photos I'm slowly transferring to CD that I should be able to share sometime soon. Would be glad to hear from anyone who might remember me or others in 1st platoon. (I was the tall, skinny, hairless, clueless one). Served with Blair, Triggs, Ramos, Crapps, Perkle, Whitaker, Fous, Gapinski, Pancho (Anzaldua) and Chico (Gonzalez), Lee, McLin, Gorman, Fry, Burke, Winn, Heilig, Korogy, Meyers, Owens, Fat John, Stover, and Mata and still have photos of most of them.

Found website through Blind Luck. My uncle, Ed Clennon, was in Vietnam. I never knew my Uncle Ed. He was KIA May 25, 1969. We just missed each other by two short years. If he was anything like my other family member, then he must have been a really great man. I have had the chance to read his letters home. But mostly they just talk about the weather and chit chat, no real details about the guys he served with. I am hoping to make it to the reunion, but it remains "ify" that I can make it. I would be honored to hear from any of you that knew my uncle and could provide me with any "stories' or thoughts about him. Thank you. God Speed.

Found website through John when he contacted me. In Vietnam from January 1969 - January 1970. For the first 4 months I was with combat engineers unit up north. It's great hearing from Big John. I also contacted Mel Dowdy, Steve Randock, Dale Rundquist, Conrad Garcia (the best kept secret in Vietnam - He's the man!). Is there anybody in the New York area or the Chicago area? I'm trying to find some people in those areas, but it is very difficult to do it from Iowa. (original message dated March 15, 2004) Email: cw27scott@comcast.net

I had forgotten so many names and now in the past few months, I have spoken to Paul Naso my closest friends, Ed Frey, Steve "Chic" Chiucchini, and "Smokes" Mr. Schimmoeller.

Found site through Big John. In Vietnam from January 69 - January 70. A little over a year ago I started to look at a bunch of old pictures I brought back with me. I decided to restore them, put them on CD's and attempt to contact some of the guys I had served with. When out of the blue John calls one night in October. We have been communicating since. And I have had the honor of speaking with a number of wolfhound brothers since then. I visited with Mannarelli and his wife, spoken to Wayne Neal, Steve Randock, Bill Scott and plan on talking to as many of you as possible. My home number is (281)-424-2722 give me a shout.
