Welcome home brothers and sisters in arms. I am not a member of your noble club, but it is nice to see your Nam Vet MC colors from this former Rolling Thunder member. I emphatically support Nam Vets MC! These days in am only physically able to hang out in these rugged and beautiful California and Oregon mountains in my van. If any of you are out here in far Northern California and Southern Oregon who need a scout, I would be proud to be of service. I was a an 11 Delta cavalry scout in Nam.
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry Regiment, Armored and Air Cav. We were the Black Knights, AKA 'The Bastard Cav'.
When I was a cavalry scout with 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry Regiment, we were on, and sometimes inside the DMZ crossing the Ben Hai River when not doing reconnaissance in the A Shau Valley, Khe Sanh, The Rock Pile, Con Thien, Dong Ha, Quang Tri, Wunder Beach, Cam Lo, Firebases Alpha 4, Charlie 2 and beau coup night defensive positions at all points in between up there in the 'Northernmost'.
Some unit history: The 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry Regiment (since 1855) was Division Recon in Nam -- 1st Cav Div, 9th Infantry Div, 101st Airborne Division, 5th Infantry Division; that's why they called us 'The Bastard Cav'. We were farmed out to any division who needed a recon unit. I am no hero or bad-ass. I was just 18 and 19 in Nam -- skinny, quick and lucky.
Vietnam didn't kill me, but the Agent Orange sure is trying to.
