His discharge lists his organization at discharge as Btry C 871st FA BN His MOS was Medium Tank Crewman 2736

Looking at the Pictures of Edwards Kaserne from November 2000 brought back a lot of memories. I visited Frankfurt in March 1999 and again in November 1999, a lot has changed, a lot has remained the same. Does anybody here remember these people: Tom Kramlik, Gary Lowman, Patrick Weitekamp, Richard Merit, SSG Hadley, SSG Johnson, Scott Rogers?

I was in Frankfurt in 1967-68 with the 143rd attached to 3rd Armored Division. I was the Battalion Motor officer and Platoon Leader. Volunteered for Viet Nam. Remember Rick McDonald, Mike McGhee, Fred Beshore. Wrote this about Viet Nam:

Terry Rushbrook 1LT, Army Signal Corps, 1968-1969, Cam Rahn Bay, Qui Nhon, Da Lat (redrush AT banet.net)

May 22, 1999

Goodbye Viet Nam

I'm haunted by memories brought up from the past When I hear your name or remember the blast Of ammo exploding and the sky lit with flame How I wish I'd forget the sound of your name!

It brings forth my tears and feelings of dread To listen to voices inside my head That say, "What the hell am I doing here?" I feel sadness, anxiety, rage, and fear.

For so long I managed to push you away To a place in my mind so far from today. Yet sooner or later your head would rise up And stir my emotions and they would erupt.

The tears come so freely to think that I Was not one of the 58,000 who died. My life was spared by the hand of God But others were not, and they died like dogs.

They carried their bodies in zip lock bags To choppers and ships after they dragged Them through rice paddies, jungles and village streets To coffins lined up so straight and neat.

These boys were just heeding their country's call To defend our freedom; to give their all. Little they knew when they departed To fight in a war they had not started.

Good little soldiers were trained to kill In simulations of deserts and hills. They could not know that it was different this time, There was no way to tell there was no front line.

The war was among us, on every side There was no safe haven, no place to hide. Was the kid over there a Viet Cong? Was I right or could I be wrong?

Would he tie a grenade to my bunk that day So when I slept, it would blow me away? Would Mama-San rig up my jeep to explode A grenade in my gas tank ready to blow?

The war was on all sides and made me feel Constantly vigilant even at meals. No one could be trusted, no one at all A misplaced trust could cause you to fall.

The evening news would report the death toll Between ads for soap and Wesson Oil, Barely pausing before the vultures would pounce On the chance to update today's body count.

One more number to add to the score; One more son not coming home any more. One more to feed to the war machine; One more whose face would go unseen.

I did my part, but I still mourn For the ones who seem they were never born. Their lives snuffed out with little regard For their souls and their eternal reward.

I thank my God for sparing me And for the effort it took for me to see That His hand was on me throughout the time I spent in that humid, tropical clime.

Still my heart is tender and my feelings are raw To think I walked into the jaws Of ugly war which made no sense to us Nor to the ones who thought it unjust.

They called us hawks and baby killers They spat on us and took their pills. They carried signs and protested involvement Like we were the ones who made the commitment

We just followed orders like our fathers before us Who did it and then were brought home victorious. They showered them with ticker tape parades; We came home to ridicule and rage.

Where's my parade, the flags unfurled; I was dropped like a rock back into the world With cars whizzing past and mindless chatter Was I really there, did I really matter?

Can you understand my grief and my pain? The tears I shed, the hurt that remains? The dead, the dying, the innocence lost, Didn't you stop to count the cost?

It's too late now to make amends To wipe the slate clean, to call me your friend. I hate you dreaded Viet Nam You stole a part of who I am.

My tears are like medals, it's OK to cry, I'll drop a tear for every guy Who entered that land and did not return And for those who were damaged, whose feelings burn.

Goodbye, Viet Nam, I won't give you the power By thinking of you every day, every hour. I'll choose to honor the memories instead Of my fellow soldiers, living and dead.

WELCOME HOME!!

If any of you remember SGT's Medford, Lockridge, Janosack, 1SG Jim Goetz, 1SG Woodson we may have served together. Does anyone recall Lt. Sohm? I started out in the 4th platoon but the company was reorgainzed and my section ended up in the 3rd platoon. I was with the VHF Team that supported 3rd Brigade. I met and got to know a lot of really good people. I will not name them here for fear that I might leave someone out. If we served together I would like to hear from you.

Was assigned to Charlie Company, but worked a lot with Bravo. Looking for the B Co. Platoon Leader with the light green Chevy Impala Classic car. Forgive me I forgot his name, but he's the one who got us up in the unauthorized treetop Huey joyride to Fuda. Sorry to hear about our Kasern being bulldozed. I own a contracting business in the D.C. Metro Area.

Commanded Charlie Company Jan 70 to about August 70 and then moved to ADSO. Worked for LTC Josiah Blasingame--best officer I ever worked for. In touch with Bill Gennewine who took Charlie over in about August 70 and Skip Nowland who commanded HHC. Would enjoy hearing from those assigned about this time. Thanks for putting this site together.

Hey, I just ran across the 143rd's website. My name's Matt Cobos, I started out in Aco 143rd in January 89. I was a "cable dog" in DISCOM Platoon, was in Sgt. Louis Wilkerson's squad with Cpl. Mattice, James "Swish" Alexander, Robert "Holtie" Holt, Gina Snow, etc. When MSE came on I was on a SEN team, Golf 13 (I think) with SSG. Cheryl Collins, Sgt. Larry Blocker, SPC Frank Sneed, Sgt. Miller. We Depolyed to Saudi attached to 533rd MI BN. Came back from Saudi with the rest of 143rd in May, then I ETS'd in July 91. I came back to Oregon, went to OSU, got a degree in Psych. Working for the state now. I was in the Nat'l Guard for a while here, wasn't as fun as active duty though. It sure was great to see some names in the guest book that I recognized, what a small world! I hope more people that were in A co stumble across it, it would be nice to hear from everyone again. If you want to write back it would be great to hear from people!

The old Kasernes are under construction. Edwards is in the process of being bulldozed and turned into community housing. The old Chapel, Dental Clinic/TMC, ADSO, Burger Bar/Shopette/Library/Pick-up point are all gone. The motorpools are the current project. The only remaining buildings are BMO, BEMS/BSM, HHC & ACO Motorpools, DISCOM, HHC, CCO, A/BCO barracks and the Battalion Building. I can take digital pictures if you would like to post them. The old PX is gone, the only things that remain are the Commissary/Clothing Sales and the fence that surrounded the complex. 97th General Hospital remains the same, but is closed. Atterbury housing complex has been torn down. It was a sad day when I wintessed this, but the change was inevitable.
