| Comments: | I am going to a wedding tomorrow with two of the daughters of SP4 David Michael Fluger who is has passed. He served with D Troop, 1st SQN, 9th Cav from Sept 1964- Dec 1965. They have no idea what their father did in Vietnam. One daughter has the First Cav. Patch tattooed to her upper shoulder. Does anyone remember SP4 Fluger? If so write me.
Thanks John Coulter USA (ret) |

| Comments: | I put the newsletter together for the LRRP/Rangers. Another LRRP and I were recalling Historical Occurrences last night. He told two stories about LRRP/1-9 incidences that need filling out.
One was about a pilot nicknamed "Cowboy". Young, cowboy boots and hat, with a sawed off double barreled shot gun. The LRRPs like what he could, and would, do with a chopper.
The second story is about an insertion into a hot LZ. The LRRP TL told the pilot to abort. The pilot didn't, so as the TL went out the door, he pulled the door gunner with him. Then told the pilot that if he wanted the door gunner back, to come and get him, and the LRRP team of course.
Anyone want to add anything to either of these stories? Contact me. |

| Comments: | Thanks, we were at Ft. Hood for our daughters homecoming from Afghanistan (she is with 1-4 ARB). Thought I would check out some info for my wife's Uncle Daryle Reuhle who is a Retired AF Col and flew B-52's during Vietnam. His brother Medard is remembered well in the small village of McCutchenville, Ohio. His picture is in the community center and a ball field is named after him. His brother makes sure of the scholarship every year at Ohio State. Daryl does not use the computer to much so I was just trying to get pictures of orders or anything with his name for Daryle or any pictures. I got pictures of the order of battle monument at the Museum for him. I was hoping they had something in storage. No help there. Yes any help would be appreciated and when we get back home Sunday I will let Daryle know what is going on. Will be busy tomorrow at our daughters promotion to Captain and then on the road Saturday to Ohio. |

| Comments: | Always enjoyed working with 1/9! In 70 was with MEDEVAC after doing my grunt duty with 2/7 and always knew if we had a hot hoist or a hot LZ and we had to get in and there were 9th "Blues" or hunter killers.we'd be ok and get our brother back to the facility at Phuoc Vinh. Cant remember who had the orangatang but it made my tour!
God bless all of you! |
