Welcome New Member!
I received a new submission on Saturday the 3rd, and we would like to welcome Walter A. Pokines. He was with the 981st 69/70. Below are his comments.
"I served as Training NCO when the 981st formed up at Fort Carson, and I arrived in Vietnam in November, 1967. I became the Operations and Training NCO when SSG Gardner's tour was up. I extended my tour twice, and left in March, 1970. CPT Feddo was the first commander, then CPT Gaynor, then CPT Held, if I remember correctly. SSG Gardner, First Sergeant Ballard, and CPT Feddo are no longer with us."
