"My husband's uncle is Francis (Frank/Frankie)Tabaka. I watched Ken Burns' PBS Documentary and learned so much. I'd love to know more about the Big Red One in Vietnam in 1967, 68 and if anyone remembers Frank and has pictures or stories to tell about him. He is doing well in St. Louis, and I'm so proud to know him!"

"Would like to hear from 1/16th Recon Platoon members who knew my father, SFC Francis ("Pops" Phillips, who served with 1st Inf Division at Lai Khe, SV, from Jul 1967 to Jun 1968.

To the gallant men of the 1/16th Recon Platoon: You fought bravely against a tough enemy and proudly served our nation. Thank you for your service.

Respectfully,
Gary Phillips, P.E.
CAPTAIN, Civil Engineer Corps, U.S. Navy (Retired)"

"Hey my Recon brothers. Just stoping by to say hello and to say that it has now been 50 months since the V.A. doctors told my family that I had only days to maybe several weeks to live. Life is a bitch most of the time but i'm still doin it. LOL

"I traveled extensively for over 40 years, and now don't even want to go to McDonald's for a sandwich. But, I so look forward to Kokomo and seeing you each year. However I sometimes feel I am "crashing" an enlisted man's party, and you might want to do some officer "bashing" without my presence. Nonetheless, you men are very special to me, and if I ever failed you, I want to know it. I am going to KCMO this year for my first BRO reunion and looking forward to that, as well as Turkey receiving his much deserved DMOR"
