At our
first chapter meeting the members voted to refrain from requiring
our members to pay dues and fund ourselves by 'passing the hat' at
our reunions. We will continue with this policy as long as we can.
But as we grow, our expenses grow. Though our expenses are minimal,
it costs money to post this website, we need refreshments at our
meetings, we need flags and banners, we have mailings. Though
passing the hat has worked, it seems there are always a few who
offer to take up the slack at their personal expense.
Many of you who
cannot attend our reunions have asked how you can help support our
website and our chapter. Well, here is your opportunity. If you
would like to make a donation to the Chapter, please send it to the
address below. Your help and support is
appreciated. Donations of $25.00 or more will receive The
Complete History of 1/3 In Vietnam CD or The Official
Chronology Reports of 1/3 in Vietnam. Donations of $50.00 or
more will receive both CDs. Please add $5.00 for postage/handling,

Chronology Reports |

Attention: These disks do not work with Vista

While we were in Vietnam, a log of our companies' daily activities were recorded and put into Chronologies. Though these reports are brief, they contain a lot of information about what happened on specific dates. The six digit numbers preceded with YD are grid coordinates that can be plotted on the field maps we used. I use this information when I return to Vietnam to help locate exact positions of places where we were engaged. Copies of this CD are available free
through: One copy will be sent free. There is a $10.00 charge for each additional copy and it takes from 3 to 6 weeks for delivery. Or: I will send you a copy within a week of receipt. All proceeds will go into the general fund for our 1/3 Chapter.
Field rosters and names
of casualties are not listed in these reports. This information is
recorded in Unit Diaries and they have not become available on CDs
at this time. You can get printed copies of this information by
writing to Be sure to tell them the unit and the dates of interest. |
