Hello Brothers. The Branson reunion is near and Sharon and I are so looking forward to seeing each of you and your families. We share such a special moment in American history. In one single day you set a precedent that continues to be taught in military classrooms across the nation. In one single day the “paper tiger” image was erased by a group of very young AMERICANS!!! We were kids who just asked to serve our country. In one single day you changed history. In one single day you were not Golf, Echo, or Hotel company. You were not Marines, Navy, or Air Force. YOU WERE AND ARE AMERICANS!! You were and are a Band of Brothers. Nothing will ever change that. Each of you stood in the face of certain death to make sure that no country ever kidnaps our citizens except they are willing to pay an ultimate price. We have always been more than a company or a branch of service. We are American Brothers. God Bless the last 41 names. Larry

Please pray for Fred Morris and his family.
His Mother past away earlier today.
I am sure you know the pain he is going through.
At times like this, we can't help remembering how fragile life is. May God surround you all with his love.

I was stationed at NKP from april 74-april 75 in the USAF and was assigned to 56TH CAMS jet engine shop/flightline.I worked on all the 21ST SOS Knifes Helos engines.I was on alert standby for possible TDY deployment for Eagle Pull(evac of Phnom Penh).But I derosed on April 11,1975 so I missed the Mayaguez but I consider myself a fellow Airman to all those that were involved and I was personal friends with several of those who were involved with Eagle Pull and the Mayaguez
Long Live our 21ST Knifes.

First re-union in Ft Walton beach had a great amount of ECHO company personnel; considering less of ECHO were on the island compared to Golf.
I pray that more ECHO company personnel come to the re-unions in the future.
We (ECHO) company are an important part of the the Koh Tang operation, just as equally important as Golf company.
I have heard, witnessed, and observed the one sided re-union.
Well, it is not all about one company. It's about all of us; Echo, Golf, HQ, mortars, officer, enlisted, wives, children, brotherhood, fog of war, KIA, MIA, WIA, etc... etc... etc...

Greetings to All,

I'm trying to update email addresses on the jolly green email web site. Larry Barnett's email bounced. He had a link that pointed to this site.

Can anyone help me find his address?

The response can be left on the site via the "Contact Email Administrator" link.

I might add that membership is not required to include your address if you think it is appropriate. We're trying to connect people, not be exclusive.

Thank you all.

Hey Brothers and Sisters,
The reunion starts in 59 days (14-19 May 2014) Branson, MO.
The number of sign-ups to date indicates a great reunion. If you feel like you’re missing something, this is probably IT. Come meet those associated with this mission and experience the bondage we have. COMRADE at its BEST.

Brothers Forever,
Semper Fidelis

Found the following in today's newspaper regarding class action law suit over denied discharges due to PTSD. Thought I would pass it along to anyone who would be interested. http://www.tulsaworld.com/homepage2/vietnam-vets-sue-military-over-ptsd/article_b462346a-a33f-11e3-8f8f-0017a43b2370.html
