Newsletters are being sent all over the world at this time. I would like to thank John Detreville for being so instrumental with helping us to locate approximately 15-20 officers that served with the 2/17th Artillery.

Need information from 70-71 vets. Searching for possible 17th KIA's. A CSM and WO died in a helicopter crash in 1970. I have a CSM Machristie and WO Berhens listed as KIA on Dec 4, 1970 from the TAGCEN files. Does anyone remember the incident or names. Berhens was listed as pilot and attached to 17th and Machristie as a passenger. Flight was from Nha Trang to Ban Me Thout.

I was assigned to Hq&Hq 2nd/17th as the Property Book Officer and S4. I was placed on the rear party when the unit left Sill in 1965. Had to close out all the Station Property. Some one commented that I stretched out the time stateside by turning in 2 buildings and drawing back 1. Any how I stayed as Bn S4 from Sep65 to Aug66 in AnKhe. With the 1ST Cav at our back door for protection. Rank at the time was CW02, retired in 69 as a W3. Haven't had many good thoughts about Nam. I know I went there with blond hair and came back with gray, that's a fact. Best wishes to all Persuaders.

Looking at past entries there seems to be no one from the late 80's and early 90's. I will break that string now. I served with 3/17 FA BN in Ansbach, GE from Nov 88 to Oct 91 and in Fort Sill, from Oct 91 to Jun 92.

We are trying to get the word out about our project and thought perhaps you might be able to help us.

Veterans . . . WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!

Have you ever done time in a veteran's hospital? This not-for-profit group works to lessen the bleakness that permeates most Veterans Administration hospitals.

Check out the Kitchen Table Gang Trust at http://taliaferro.net/veterans

A lot of military veterans have deemed our efforts worthy of support and we hope you will too. Thanks!

I am passing on this message for Charles Orr since he doesn't have an E-mail address. Rich Siebe

"I'm looking for a picture taken in 1967 D Btry before it was disbanded. I was with D Btry and went to C Btry until 4/9/68. I lost it about 20 years ago. There were some guys that went to C Btry with me and were killed 4/3/68." If anyone has that picture or know some one that has a copy , Charles would like to get a copy for his Grandson. You can contact Charles at (480) 649-5516
