Comments: I was in 62 69-72, deployed to camp Haskins Danang VietNam. Interested in hearing from shipmates. I was in a band in Vietnam called Glory. I would love to hear from any of the band members, Tom Sarpolis, Bill Montoya, Don ?
Comments: I spent four year with 62 and have very good memories of that time. I was given the nickname Heavy be BMC Faulkner because I was 6'2 and weighed 140 pounds with sand in my pockets. I'm still 6'2 but at 250 the nickname is more applicable. I have five children and a grandbaby now and work as an assistant principal at a middle school in Virginia Beach.
Comments: Norman great web site. Hope all you Sixty Two Vets are doing well. One heck of a Battalion best damn Alfa Company. Served from 87 until the end. Drop me a line.
