Comments about the web site: I was a Corpsman under Captain Gallagher's command during the time he lost his life in action on November 12, '69. "A" Company, 1/61. Thanks for your excellent pages, Jack. It has taken me a long time to begin dealing with the memories, but you show in your pages that we did have a proud unit and we kicked ass out there. Thanks for the dedication you've shown on these pages.

Comments about the web site: This site is excellent and it pays tribute to the members of the 1/61st and the TF161. The Shakespeare's citation sounds very well, I like it. Everybody must learn about Vietnam War and Jack's site is one of the better for this purpose. It fills a gap in the history of the Fifth Mech Division in Vietnam about it many are still to write. Thank you to all members of the 1/61st and the Fifth Mech for their deeds for Democracy.
