I contacted you about being with 6/27 in OIF I. I just wanted to tell you I haven't forgotten. I recently returned from JRTC only to leave again for somewhere else. Now I am in AL. Anyway, I still want to get this info to you but currently I am running low on time and I am in fact about to go back to Iraq. I will still do my best to get you that data and more info as to our mission and what we did.

Nice to see this web page. I guess I was a relative newcomer to 6/27th. I went through the downsizing and was never short enough to get a drop. My C Btry time was at Loc Ninh, Song Be, An Loc and then deactivation and on to Svc Btry. I visited with 6/27th at Ft Sill in 1990 while there for annual training with the Kentucky National Guard.

We were doing the same thing only in different places. The time period might have been the same. As for me, I was in Charlie Battery (Rolling). I don't have to tell you what rolling means. In other words, we were never in the same place, more than 6 days. My hat off to you guys, I salute you. -Jose M. Guzman

This is my first trip to the site. Read a book called "Up Country" and it got interest for me to revisit my Vietnam past. I was a 2nd Lt. FDC off. for most of my tour but ended it as an Air Forward observer from Bu Dop when we went into Cambodia. Have read the C Battery info with great interest. Didn't know guys there although there was an officer in C battery that graduated from OCS (class 17-69) with me. I think his name was Lockhart. I recall being sent to Quan Loi for a week once until they got a new FDC officer, then I returned to C Btry. Hope to hear from others in C.
