The Herd |
The Red catchers A sister Battalion: The second Battalion of the old Guard arrived in Vietnam December 1966. They joined the 199th Infantry Brigade, a cold war relic. Westmoreland used the red catchers as a fire Brigade. If a hot spot developed or a major operation was planned the red catchers would be called. They conducted two combat assaults into Saigon during the 68 Tet battles. This Old Guard unit was the spearhead in the battle to retake the race track and defeat the communist offensive. Counterpunch Please visit this website often |
Military .ComThis site is free. They publish once a month. Use this site to keep abreast of changes in veteran benefits or disability payments.It often highlights special veteran programs in housing, transportation, recreation and employment. I find this site informative but not pushy or overwhelming. Veterans Report is the most comprehensive newsletter available to help Veterans stay current on benefits changes, learn about important legislation, get great discounts, and use the benefits earned in service. And its free. |

Captain Cox
 http://members.ruralnet.org/wcox2/index.html Capt. Cox served as "A" company commander 1/52 of the 198 LIB. Mr Cox speaks and writes with excellent clarity. He has done the hard work of learning to manage the PTSD that had dominated his life. A 21 year old company commander. Think about that. At 21 I was on R&R in Singapore with two hookers. One was young and good looking , the other one wasn't. At 21 Capt. Cox was commanding nearly 200 people in combat. I have read that the most challenging leadership position in the world can be found at the platoon and company level. The platoon and company commanders have open access to an ungodly amount of firepower. The commanders at this level have their face in the mud and there ass is hanging in the wind. There is no job more challenging. I offer my respect for his combat tour and the work he has done with PTSD.This site warrants a visit. |
