Ken Mattern 2/11 ACR HOW BTY 8/67 to 8/68. When I first got to dumb dumb school I heard about "K" troop being ambushed by V.C. in ARVN uniformes. I also remember "M" company being "TANK COUNTRY". I must be getting old, your Tank Co. should have been "L" CO. The wierd thing about being in the 11th CAV was staying in the field 4 or 5 months at a time. By the time we got the grass cut at base camp it was time to go again. I wish we would have had M48 A3s with diesels. I hated changing out power packs at night in the boonies. Most of all I wish we had all come home Hello to Jive, Smitty, Kerns, Pancost Baker,Thomas, Bowman, Geeslin and all.

Editor's Note: Chris Noel, famed Hollywood film star, songstress and entertainer made those long, lonely nights in Vietnam a little less lonely for a lot of guys, me included. Thanks Chris for being there when we needed you.

Bob, it's good to see you are still doing K Troop. You do a great justice to all fallen Blackhorse brothers by keeping the memories of them in our hearts. I was with K Troop in 1969 to 1970 on K-31 and K-34 K-36. My memories are good because of you. I hope to see you and all my K Troop brothers some day soon. Thanks for all memories. May you and your family have a great year.

I was in 2nd plt. K troop Nov.68 toNov.69. Your web sight is very much appreciated. Your photo of Capt. Palma was a very moving thing for me to see. There was no man that I admired more than him. He was the finnest leader that I served with in my short time in the army. You're tribute to Garrett, Carr, and Mc Clean si something you should be very proud of. Thank you for your quaility web site.

I am teaching a university level writing course next semester and am planning to focus the course around Vietnam, war and the country and people, because I want this next generation to be aware of the experiences and sacrifices made by all the men who served. I am happy to find this site for my course.

Bob, you have a wonderful web site and a fitting tribute to 11ACR. Your photos brought back many memories.

I went back to Nam in '95 and visited many of the areas shown in the photos (Quan Loi, Bien Hoa, etc) and some not (Cu Chi, Hanoi).
