Yes, we were there...

A few years ago I embarked on a journey to find out what my husband experienced while he was in the army in Vietnam. That search took me to the web but the information I found was sparse. I posted messages on military forums on all the 11th ACR sites I could find and got several emails in response. The common thread in these emails was "I don't remember the 551st being there" or at best "I only vaguely remember the 551st being there". This angered my husband and it angered me.

Put simply, my husband is my HERO. It is my intention that this site be a tribute to him and all members of the 551st. I know you were there. I know the sacrifices you made. I know the honor you deserve.

The purpose of this site is to give Vietnam Veterans who served in the 551st Light Maintenance Company at Blackhorse base camp a place to reconnect and share information, pictures, comments, and stories related to their experiences. It is not my site, it belongs to the 551st and is for you to make of it what you wish.
