I have been trying to find some old friends from the 101st, I was a combat medic in Phu Bai with H.H. company ,2/506 and H.H. company 1/501 101st airborne , from September 1971 to Febuary 1, 1972 ,then went on to the 3 battalion, 1st cav. Division. My name was Luis(DOC) Garcia This is not for any service connection claim, I am just looking for a (E-5 at the time) Sgt. whose name I can not remember.I was in the last operation before the 101st stooddown , with Bravo company 1st. Battalion 501 Infantry 101st Airborne in the triple canopy of Nui Ky. On January 16th 1972 . We triped a mechanicl ambush that blew me unconsious, when I came to I moved foreward and found five wounded men. The wounded were Sgt. Atkin, PFC Jerry Morison, Sp/4 Wilmore, PFC Sallazona and the RTO whose name I can not recall. I am so sorry brothers for bringing up your names, but would like to find the name of the Sgt. that kept us together for four days until abstracted .The Sgt. was a short Mexican American from San Antonio, Texas, I was blowen up, cut up, but kept on going with the rest of the men because of the Sgt. and the unknown that awaited.If, anybody knows the name of the Sgt.,Please help get in contact with him , I want to thank him for bringing us home. This is a great site for reaching out to brothers. WELCOME HOME! AIRBORNE.
