You may be able to get lost information from your site by going to ‘waybackmachine.com” or another site that collect site information. I was with I troop, 3rd squadron. 11th armored cavalry when nva hit FSB Maury. I believe we were attached to 4/23. We where conducting night patrolling instead of base defense when the base was hit We had to drive cross country in complete darkness to help save FSB MAURY. I believe if we had stayed at FSB Maury instead of patrolling at night there would have been a different outcome. I say that because our platoon of ACAV’S had 27 machine guns. (9) 50 cal. and (18) M-60’s that would have made the difference.

He picked our battery because, as he told me, it was the best in the division.

I regret not staying in touch and hope to see all of you soon.

The previous message from Kara Hackney is important to me. I saw a posting where she was locking for anyone from her dad’s unit in Vietnam (B 3/13). I contacted her and informed her that I was in her dad’s unit and although we were not close friends I did remember him. While trying to help her find some one who knew her dad (Jerry Hackney) and was a close friend, we found James Hunt, and he put me in contact with Charles McCloud. Guy’s thanks to both of you for trying to help. It was good to hear from you. If there is anyone out there who can share memories with Kara please contact her, if not her try me (bobeberwein@verizon.net) and I will pass along any information to her.

I would love to hear from anyone who knew my father, who passed from cancer in 1997. You can reach me at karahackneyphotography@outlook.com.
I have some group photos, some which have many unidentified buddies in them (Dad surely knew, but I didn’t find the photos until this year). Three names that are written on the photos are John Cole and “Slithy,” as well as Dad’s canine buddy, Howard. Dad also mentioned two buddies’ names that my mom can remember: Paul Bullbear “Chief,” a Sioux Indian from South Dakota, and “Dogg” Harris, a black man from Detroit. Some photos are labeled to be at Snider (Snyder), Base Camp Cu Chi, and Long Bien.
My sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for your service and sacrifice.
God bless,
