Dear Donald Burge,
Thanks for your recent entry on the Guest Book section of our website (Veterans of the First Engineer Battalion). I noticed you served in D Co. at Lai Khe, Vietnam in 1966. I was with C Co in Lai Khe from Oct 1965 to early March 1966. As I recall the Battalion CO (LTC Howard Sargent) decided to rotate C and D Company's locations in early 1966. As part of C Co, my platoon built office buildings at DiAn (the division HQ) until early June of 1966. If you are not a member of our organization, I encourage you to join Membership information can be found elsewhere on this website.

I served as a combat medic with the 2/2nd Inf. (Mech) from April '67 to Sept. '67 and with the 2/28th Inf. Black Lions from Sept. '67-April '68. While I was with 2/2nd we worked with the engineers frequently doing jungle clearing. Operation Paul Bunyan was a lengthy operation in '67. I have some photos from that and other operations that I participated in on my photo gallery. The combat engineers that we worked with were brave and hard-working. They deserved a lot of respect.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Dear Dave Berry,
I apologize for not replying to your Guestbook entry at our website sooner (It's Feb 11 and you posted a Guestbook entry last December). I had my computer-savy son help me relearn how to do it. I hope this reply finds you Covid-free and otherwise OK. Your message said that you worked closedly with First Engineer Bn soldiers while you were a combat medic in the 2/2 Infantry Bn in 1967'68. My combat Engineer Platoon (part of C Company, First Engr Bn) provided the engineer support for the 2/2nd in the summer of 1966 when that battalion was heading up a pacification task force called "Lam Son II" in Bing Juong province (near Phu Loi). I received a nice thankyou letter from LTC Jack Conn, the 2/2nd C.O. when I left 'Nam in late Sept 1966.
Thanks, again, for your Guestbook posting. I'll try to answer your future postings more promptly.

I was with Bridge Company from 1965 to 1966.
I shipped over from Fort Riley to DiAn Viet Nam on the still unknown boat.
So far I believe I’ve touched base with the person who was my XO in 1966 and I’m still looking for others who I might remember or might remember me!

Served with D Co., 1st Eng. Bn., 1st IDF at Panzer Kaserne in Böblingen, Germany from May '88 to May '91. I participated in two major operations; Reforger '88 and Operation Desert Storm. On May 1st '91, it was the sadist day to watch, as their colors were encased. It was the last time D Co. was a combat arms unit.
