John McCorkle C 2/5 1971-72
Has stepped forward and will head up the Candle light Vigil we will host at the wall on Friday night. John and his wife Lynnda are very excited about making plans for this event.
This is our time to make sure that our men will never be forgotten. Having been a few times, the WALL at night is very special indeed, and I cant think of anything more moving then to honor our fallen at night with our company of brothers.

Rank: Specialist 4TH Brad was killed in Vietnam June 15, 1971 As Brad's wife, I am looking for more information and links to his buddies. His son Ben is interested also.
Spouse: Miriam Bradshaw (now Hunter)

I have spoken with Miriam and she is interested in attending a reunion. Floyd is survived by an 82 year old mother. The family would love to talk to any of us. If you remember him either call Miriam or let TREE know and we will set something up.

It is with great sadness that we need to share this note from Joyce Kuykendall.

Tree,
I just thought you would like to know that Joseph L. Kuykendall passed away suddenly on April 5, 2008. He had made plans to go the next reunion, but unfortunately that did not happen.

Sent to C Company complements of Ray & Deb Russo (B 2/5th )

Doc Gifford sent this in: Yes, it was called X-Ray. I went in from Granite (?) straight to X-Ray. We built the first FSB in Cambodia. 2/5th also built FSB Ready a couple of weeks later. I'm pretty sure Bravo was on Ready, initially. I flew over there with med supplies and helped set up that aid station before going back to X-Ray. Notice the photo below, a sign from the Aid Station on Granite, from LT Price's collection.

If you happen to be in Royse City TX, look up Jim Stanford C 2/5 1967

Hope he brings some of those flags to the Reunion
