I can't believe the story I read about the
rangers that are being charged with
mistreating (assult charges) on prisoners that
are known for terrorist activities against the
US. So far the discription has been that they
were hit and punched and now have bruises.
Come on now people what kind of support are we
showing our soldiers who we have trained to
fight and kill for the US. These charges and
this rediculous behavior by our leaders should
cause the American people to be outraged and
to get involved. This will ruin these 5
Rangers lives if prosicuted. I thought I would
just get some opinions of other Rangers and
how they feel about this.

We are sort of like the "Marines" and we are
looking for a few (Many) good men. We need
State Advocates for each state. You would
assist families of injured, wounded and
deceased Rangers, LRPs and LRRPs. There are
many states that are large enough to need
several volunteers for this duty. We need to
assist these folks to let them know that we
care. You would represent the 75th RRA and
show the families that we are all brothers in
arms. Please respond to the email address
above if you are interested in giving a
helping hand. I will provide you with the
guidelines for this critical volunteer
position. We are looking for men that care and
can assist. Are you one of those few
responsible, careing and good men? Thank you,

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION | Harry
Miller | | v. | | Chicago Public Library, |
Chicago Police Department, | Illinois Attorney
General, | Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and | George W. Bush | | AMENDMENT OF
COMPLAINT PRESENTED TO COURT 16 DECEMBER OF
THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2005 FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS AGAINST 42 U.S.C. 1983 AND OTHER
LAW Plaintiff (Harry Miller, resident of 150
W. Maple 513, Chicago IL 60610, telephone
number 312-787-0565, State of Illinois photo
ID CARD 4603-7540-098M) is an American combat
veteran. Scientific finding that each and
every sane soldier who lawfully kills an enemy
within sight will have battle fatigue for rest
of life is maintained as SECRET (and higher)
US/UK EYES ONLY by the Defendant, George W.
Bush. Battle fatigue has been renamed P.T.S.D.
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorders) and
effective treatments for disabling symptoms
deliberately withheld from American combat
veterans since end of WWII (Second World War).
More than half the paupers’ graves in
the United States of America since WWII have
been filled with their bodies, usually in
deliberate violation of law requiring they be
honorably buried. Bush continues the
betrayals. Plaintiff perused the SECRET
findings on battle fatigue in the classified
documents vault of Engineer Intelligence
Center U.S. Army Europe at Tompkins Barracks,
Germany, during 1959 and 1960. When ordered to
take men into combat for Army of U.S. he
erroneously assumed their battle fatigue would
be properly treated. He began to learn only
few years ago that combat veterans of the
United States of America are routinely
betrayed by their Commanders In Chief. Since
January 2005 Defendant has required
“benefits” for P.T.S.D. known by
VA (Veterans Administration of the United
States of America) to be past due not be given
the Plaintiff until Miller v Principi is
closed by United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit. Plaintiff is expected to
die before then. Defendant has also taken
Plaintiff’s homeland into preemptive war
against the peoples and nation of Iraq after
deliberately fomenting the murders of 9-11-01
in New York, Pennsylvania and the District of
Columbia by verifying federal assassinations
and mass murder of Muslims by the United
States of America such as disclosed by Bob
Woodward in the history book Veil. About
mid-day Saturday 18 December 2004 in public
section of third floor of Chicago Public
Library at 400 South State Street, Chicago,
Illinois (IL), four uniformed guards of the
Defendant (Chicago Public Library) assaulted
and robbed the Plaintiff of research notes
while disjointing bones of hands and expertly
inflicting in full public view of
Defendant’s other employees and patrons
during less than three minutes compartment
syndrome to muscle of lower right leg of
Plaintiff by means of severe systematic
beating avoiding bones. The torture-murder
system is new to police of the United States,
but Plaintiff was told of it by Iranian Army
Officers in 1958, and it is being learned by
American military police in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The uniformed guards drug
Plaintiff to secluded locker room of the
Defendant’s library where accessories
uniformed as Chicago Police Officers
handcuffed the Plaintiff, took that stolen
personal property, then continued the physical
assault. The guards went back to public
reading room and retrieved Plaintiff’s
notebooks which were also given to Defendant
(Chicago Police Department). The
Defendants’ uniformed minions prevented
medical attention which would have prevented
the eventually fatal blood clot expected to
result from the injury to leg and realignment
of Plaintiff’s finger joints, one of
which is permanently crooked for lack of
timely treatment. One of the Defendant’s
uniformed guards had claimed Plaintiff was
being arrested. But the assaulting thieves
uniformed as Police Officers were intrigued by
the stolen personal property and spent entire
afternoon arguing among themselves. Plaintiff
was not arrested in any purportedly lawful
manner that day Some of the stolen research
had been recorded by Defendant’s public
library computer system referencing the
Plaintiff; Plaintiff’s library card
number is D036752708. When ordered by putative
Central Intelligence Agency agents to murder
citizens of the United States of America
during 1969, Plaintiff reported some of the
research to Defendant through FBI’s
(Defentant’s: Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s) Special Agent John W.
Robinson. Federal and local crimes
subsequently discovered during the research
were reported by Plaintiff face to face to the
Defendant’s (Illinois Attorney General)
Governor Rod Blagojevich when he was a U.S.
Congressman. Librarians of Defendant, Chicago
Public Library, had been ordering its
uniformed guards to interfere in the research
since about 1999. Ambulance of Chicago Fire
Department was called about 3:00 p.m. but was
not allowed to take Plaintiff to hospital
until after Defendant closed library 5:00 p.m.
18 December 2004. Chicago Fire Department
subsequently falsely reported Plaintiff was
delivered to Northwestern Memorial Hospital by
4:00 p.m. but Hospital journalized arrival as
soon as Ambulance arrived with Plaintiff after
5:00 p.m. Chicago Police Department, Illinois
police and Attorney General and Federal Bureau
of Investigation refused to take any report of
matter until after U.S. Postal Service
certified mail of 27 June 2005 7003 1680 0001
6919 4483 to City of Chicago Inspector
General’s Office 111 W Washington

6919 4674 to Office of Illinois Attorney
General 100 W Randolph Chicago IL 60601 from
the Plaintiff. Plaintiff was treated at
WestSide VA Medical Center. Emergency surgery
on leg was performed Sunday 19 December 2004
to prevent eminent death due to gangrene
developing in leg. A second surgery was also
required. But the circulation fault inherent
in compartment syndrome deliberately inflicted
on Plaintiff’s leg continues to cause
pain and will eventually cause possibly fatal
blood clots to break loose in circulatory
system. Small finger of left hand is
permanently crooked. Heart has apparently been
damaged by a clot. WHEREFORE Plaintiff
petitions for court to order Defendants to pay
Plaintiff Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00
US) civil rights damages and recommend
attention to the crimes involved. Damages for
other torts are being requested IN THE CIRCUIT

to THANK-YOU, all for the support and
camaraderie over the years. I have enjoyed the

and was a participant in over the past years.
I have over the past six months or so have
been investing into a financial opportunity
that seemed to be sound and lucrative, to me.
Well, I dieing of a fatal sucking chest wound
as we speak. Details are not important, the
bottom line is. All the court date are over.
I’m going to hit the streets again and
return to the job market. At fifty-six years
young. I am going to stat a new. I have lost
everything ~ and I do mean everything ~ Harley
Bike ~ Harley Truck ~ My Home. Life is an

any rate, I don’t know where I’m
going, or where I’ll end up ~ BUT when I
get there I’ll know…you know,
have a plan, have at least an OPS
ORDER…? LOL It has been a pleasure as
the past President, of Echo/Charlie Company. I
have enjoyed the position as your Unit
Representative and the honor of being the Unit
Chaplin. I know this will leave some hole in
the fabric of the Company, but I do know that
someone will step into the missing space I
have left. When I get everything back together
I’ll reappear, once again and
participate in the Greatest Brotherhood that I
have the privilege to be a part of. SIGNED:

Just found this website and it brought back
some memories. The scan of the 1st Platoon
A/75 indicates that the original must be in as
bad of shape as my original copy. I am in the
back row centered 5th from the left or right.
This picture was originally taken Jun/Jul
1973. It should also be noted that A/75 was a
severely under staffed unit during the
1972/1973 time period. This was also during
the 1st Cav's Tri-Cap days. Almost a whole
platoon was transferred to the 2 bn 1st cav to
form a company used to test various concepts
defined by MASTR, to include airmobile lrrp
used in combination with ground rec using
motorcycles and customized dune buggies.

death (the incident) in which Sgt. Grimes was
killed on 25 Sept. 1970? I need input as soon
as I can get it (publishing deadline). Please
contact me if you have any knowledge of this
fine trooper or the incident. Jerry in Montana

My husband Robert Michael "Mike" Gertsch
served with the L company of the 75th Rangers
from Dec. 1969 to May 1970 when he was
transferred to Company B 5th Special Forces.
Until recently he was content to leave all
memories of that time buried. This Veteran's
Day we attended the Dedication of the new
Veteran's Cemetary in Northern California.
That evening we sat down at the computer and
started searching and found this site. We also
found his picture listed either as Al Bartz or
UNK in some of the pictures on this site.
Thank you. s gertsch

Has any one viewed the anysoldier.com website?
Why coulnt we have a anyranger .com and get
some care packages to those Rangers who are
deployed. The troops on the anysoldier.com
site appear to be mostly rear support soldiers
who are near computers and can sign up to get
care packages. IM sure our Ranger brothers are
to far out in the bush to be a near a
computer. Must be a way for folks to send
packages to individual 75th Rangers. They
continue to lead the way and would probably
appreciate some things from home.

I am the 2nd kind of ranger. three times a

the 3rd id stationed in germany and a member
of the ranger assoc. and is listed in the
memoriam of the usara. two friends of mine,
andrew chris and sgt tim conneway are also
listed there. i served in 375 B.co 2nd
platoon, weapons squad, and i am very proud to
say that i did so. my platoon sgt was sgt
nichols and my squad leader was sgt navarro.
it was the greatest honor of my life to be
deployed with the finest men i have ever
known. I was in afghanistan from june 02 til
sept of that same year. my father was a member
of the usara and it was his association with
the usara that eventually led me to joining
the army rangers. yours is a great association
and i really appreciate the effort applied in
preserving the memory of those who have
sacrificed their youth and sometimes,
unfortunately, their lives.

TO ALL MEMBERS, Anyone wishing to send a card
to Roy Boatman and his family the address is
listed below. Roy should be home by now and
his son Darrell who was a Veteran Marine GySgt
with the MEF EOD in Iraq was KIA on or about
5, Nov when he was struck in the head with one
piece of shrapnel from a command detonated
mine. Services will be held in Jacksonville,
NC, no dates are set as of this time. No
matter what you know or heard about Roy, Ive
known him for over 20 years and he is without
a doubt, not only a great Warrior in his day,
he was a dedicated man to this organization.
And IMO, one of the most knowlegable men when
it came to the Traditons, History and Lineage
of all the units in this association. God
bless him and his family. 1456 Lula Long Rd

THIS MESSAGE IS TO ALL MEMBERS: I thought that
someone would of posted this already, however,
maybe no one has been told. Roy Boatman's
(173/LRRP/74/LRP/DET/N/75/RGR/) son who was a
Veteran GySgt in The USMC was KIA in Iraq,on
or about 4/5 NOV, by a command detonated mind
which a piece of shrapnel struck him in the
head. Roy & his wife Joyce flew to their
son's side on 4 Nov. Eventually he was taken
off life support and passed away. They are
enroute back to NC, to make plans for the
funeral. They need all of their friends
support at this time, His son Darrell, has a
son 17 and a daughter, 14 that are taken it
very hard. Please take a moment from your busy
lives and say a prayer for a hell of a man and
Ranger's family. I believe the POC is Roy

was my Ranger buddy in class 14/69. Discharged
just before they sent us all back to the land
of no doors. He was from and I later
understand, he moved back to that foreign
country called New Jersey. Heard he worked for
Aamco transmissions. Loved Gary Dolan's book,
"Of their own accord". Not bad for a 2nd
Lieutenant and a yankee and a lawyer. Don't
know who will play me in the movie. Tom Cruise
is not good looking enough. Ranger Foster,

Greetings all: I'm searching for a shirt that
is apparently out of production. Please tell
me it's not! I have two, but they're old, plus
a friend wants one too. It's the one with the
psudo Fed-Ex logo on the back where Fed-Ex is
replaced with US ARMY RANGERS and says "when
it absolutely positively needs to be destroyed
overnight". I got the first two at different
times from MilSpec. I don't see them on their
list and I send an as of yet unanswered e-mail
to them. Can anybody help? Send me a web-site
or e-mail. Any assistance will be greatly
appreciated. RTLW Mad Dog out..............

Just a little information on how Northwest
Airlines has screwed the wife of a Ranger!
This concerns my friend to SSG. Jeff Buchheim
and his wife. Well he is now due to return
from Iraq sometime this weekend but
information on the exact time and day is
sketchy and has been changed without notice.
His wife Lisa has been getting the best
information she could and had bought an
advanced ticket to come back from Baltimore to
Ft. Lewis to be there for his return. Well the
Army had some kind of unexpected 10 day hold
on them in Kuwait. Well this prompted Lisa to
have to change her ticket without much notice.
She explained the details to Northwest
Airlines in full and their response to her was
that's to bad and charged her an additional
$240.00 for changing the flight! Maybe a few
letters to Northwest about their policy in
this matter concerning a returning combat
soldier and his wife might help if any of you
guy's are up to it. Thanks for your help I am
writing them now! Kevin Leppla B 2/75 87-81

PAST: LRSD, 6th Infantry Division, AK Warm
welcome to the Crystal Jungle by the Frozen
Chosen. PRESENT and still accounted for. That
is, for the few and proud and for for those
who still check and care. It was real and we
(in spirit) all survived. Let noone forget my
brother Cpl Sean Humphress KIA 01/91. May his
baby girl find hope in her world that is less
a part of me; her Ranger, my Brother. May my
message find you and your mom...You have both
paid the ultimate price. Thank you and contact
me anytime. If you find this; then you will
find the truth. I've got no pictures of Sean.
Please contact me if you stumble upon this
vain attempt to contact you. Peace to all my
brothers in arms... The new Ranger has the
watch now. May your sleep be void of the dark
corners that fill my of every night with the
fumes of JP4. Steven Collings, LRSD 6th ID,
SGT U.S.ARMY (ret) One for the road....
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger,
fully knowing the hazards of my chosen
profession, I will always endeavor to uphold
the prestige, honor, and "esprit de corps" of
the Ranger Regiment. Acknowledging the fact
that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who
arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land,
sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a
Ranger my country expects me to move farther,
faster and fight harder than any other
soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I
will always keep myself mentally alert,
physically strong and morally straight and I
will shoulder more than my share of the task
whatever it may be. One hundred percent and
then some. Gallantly will I show the world
that I am a specially selected and well
trained soldier. My courtesy to superior
officers, my neatness of dress and care for
equipment shall set the example for others to
follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies
of my country. I shall defeat them on the
field of battle for I am better trained and
will fight with all my might. Surrender is not
a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen
comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy
and under no circumstances will I ever
embarrass my country. Readily will I display
the intestinal fortitude required to fight on
to the Ranger objective and complete the
mission, though I be the lone survivor.

TO ALL ///CORRECTION//// on a msg I posted 15,
Sep, 05 REF; RALPH PRICE SR Retired Ranger who
served in Vietnam and arrived in San Antonio,
TX, 3, Sep, 05 after him and his family were
evacuated from the New Orleans Airport, after
everything he had was under water." THE
CORRECTION IS, THEY WERE TAKEN TO "LACKLAND
AFB/////NOT RANDOLPH AFB. They have set up 3
places for temporary housing, one at the VOQ,
one at the VEQ and one in transient housing.We
are still trying to pinpoint his location,
however due to a lack of communications to
finally get the actual place where they were
taken, the phones have been busy constantly.
The Special Operations Team Texas (SOTT), is
making every effort to contact him. If anyone
knows or served with him, feel free to contact
me at the E-M listed. "SALSA" JB WELSH

Hello to my Ranger Family!! I've been
traveling again visiting Rangers and their
families along the way across this big
beautiful country of ours and wanted to say
"THANKS" to all that I had a chance to visit.
I really enjoy getting to know the people I've
met thru our reunions and remembering some of
our conservations I believe they have enjoyed
my company as well. A special thank-you to
Samuel Story from Robbins, TN. I believe
Samuel was a VII Corps LRP. Then on into
Danville KY. where Steve Meade lives. Steve
was with the 151st Natl. Guard, Delta Company
Rangers. Then onto Jim and Francis Nutter in
Brookville, OH. Jim was with November Co.
Rangers of the 173rd. Next was Kalamazoo, MI.
with a 11th Air Cav. ARP. Ed Cook and Karen
are always a pleasure to visit. On my return
to NC. I visited Tom and Robi Eckhoff in
Richfield, MN. Tom was also with "N" Co.
Rangers. Thanks everyone I had a great time
and hope to get by to visit again-----soon.

LRRPS/LRPS/RGR/BDQ If anyone knows a retired
Ranger that was in Vietnam by the name of
RALPH PRICE SR, You can drop me a line. He
arrived here in SAN ANTONIO, from New Orleans
to stay on Randolph AFB housing. SOTT has me
trying to locate him, I spent yesterday going
thru 6 different phone numbers trying to
locate some one who is the POC. I would of
thought they had a hotline or the info
operator connect you. Not so, I called the
last number I was given, which was Family
Services 2 times, left a message and still no
response. Just figured someone might know
him,thanks. "SALSA" J Brasso Welsh E/20/LRP

Great time, great friends and fellow Rangers
with Wives and other family members, made this
a memorable and enjoyable get togehter.
Rangers, we are extremely fortunate to have
served in the Best Unit on the face of the
Earth, with the greatest people. Here it is
some 25-28 years plus and we can come together
and re-live old times, and live the present
together again. Anyone who has not attended a
reunion, Ranger Ball, or other Ranger
get-to-gether is really missing out on a
wonderful time. Thank you to COl.
Chamberlain's family and friends who made a
great thing to do a really great time to
remember. Thanks to my Ranger Brothers who
made the trip and allowed me to be a part
again of our Great Ranger Tradition. Hope to
see you'all next time. Until then, RLTW!! Jim

31, '68 the same night that Renaldo Arenas was
killed. He hasn't talked much over the years
about his time there but has been opening up
about it the last few months. I've been doing
some web research for him and have found
invaluable information for our family. Reading
your stories on several I75/F52 websites has

was there in spirit. I served in 1,2,3 and

Hello Ranger buddies, I really enjoyed
visiting with all the old Rangers and new
Rangers last OCT at 2/75. I'm glad I didn't
miss my 30 yr reunion. I wish more oldtimers
were there, but the 15 or so that served with
me were great to see. While driving to Fort
Lewis from Fort Bliss, TX I recieved word that
I would be transfering from the Sergeants
Major Academy to the G3 of V CORPS in
Heidelberg, Germany (always wanted to come
here). So, I now find myself preparing to go
back downrange with the V CORPS and will not
be able to enjoy another reunion for some
time. I just met my new CSM for this CORPS,
CSM Ralph Beam. I believe we will be in good
hands with another old Ranger staleworth
mentoring our NCOs. I wish you all the very
best and hope to join in with you when I get
back in 07. Remember to be safe and take care
of each other. "A good Ranger never quits"

cowboy with the prca.He is in collage at LSU
in Baton Rouge La.the army sponsers some of
the cowboys.I would like to see the Rangers
have ther own cowboy.The army cowboys get a
lot of support from the fans .I think a Ranger

steerwrestler who is at the present time
winning the southeast circiut of the prca.He
has the capability of winning the world
championship .He just needs some help with
sponsership.We can put the Ranger logo or

In the latest issue of "Patrolling" in the "L"
Co. section, there was a question about Harry
Edwards not being a member of "L" Co. when he
was KIA. Harry was my hootch mate at Camp
Evans till I left Thanksgiving Day 71. He went
to D Troop after stand down. He was a likable
kid who cherished his Black Beret. He
nicknamed me (Bro-Fro) a name my adult
daughters still use at times. I want to thank
Randy White fot allowing Harry to remain on
our roles. He deserves at least that honor.

Rangers, Really had a great time at the
Reunion, linkup with some teamates from the
old Ranger company from Nam. Some I haven't
seen in 35 years and link up with some of my
old 2nd Ranger battalion buddies with my time
with them. The todays 2nd Bat wasn't there
this time, but we had some guys that represent
them, like my old Bn Cmdr,..General Downing
was there and a chance to shoot the breeze
with him. You know when you are a old Ranger
when the only officers you served or know are
Generals. LOL The Reunion is the only place I
know that you feel like a museum piece and a
cherry at the same time with all the senior
rangers from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, then you
have guys from Iran rescue, Grenada, Panama,
Somalia, Gulf, Afgan and Iraqi.(whew!) A tough
bunch to live up to, but todays Rangers are
doing us Proud! I highly recommend that anyone
who hasn't made one of these,...do so and meet
a few legends of our Regiment,..it is worth
while! Sua Sponte, R.Teodosio

and was enlisted out of New York. Actually,
his home of record was Puerto Rico. 3rd

remember Phil as a very likable and competent
lad who had the misfortune of being KIA on his

For those who do not reconize Hughes, my name
in the unit was "Winter", nickname "Tuffy". I
changed my name to Hughes, after returning to
the states. I was one of the original regular
Army assigned to Delta 151 Rangers, that
trained at Fort Benning and went to Vietnam as
of the 30 regular Army assigned to the Indiana
Guard Unit. So that makes me one of the first
Rangers serving in Delta Co. 75th starting
November 20th, 1969, So that kind of makes me
a Grandfater. I left the unit going back to
the states, Dec. 25th, 1969 assigned to the
82nd Airborne LRRP at Fort Bragg, NC. My wife
and I will be attending the reunion at Fort
Benning, so we hope to see someone that
reconize me and I reconize them. While in
Vietnam I was assigned to the First Platoon,
Ranger 1-2 and Ranger 1-4 and anytime they
needed an M60 Machine Gun, I was sent. So, if
anyone reconize any of this or was in my
Platoon, please contact me or look me up at
the reunion. I do have some pictures during
that time in Vietnam that I can send to
anyone, if they would like. Hope to see all at
the reunion. Daniel "Winter" Hughes (Tuffy)

A comparison of the Ranger battalions of today
vs the companies/detachments during the Cold
War and Vietnam War. My assetment is the
mental and physical abilities of these
soldiers of ALL eras are the same. The
difference I see is that the Rangers today are
pattern to the school. The Rangers called
LRRP, Long Range Patrol, and Ranger Companies
were patterned to Special Forces skills, i.e.
communication, survivial, even numbers in a
patrol, even method of operation as well as
mission. During the 1670's Rangers were
reconnaissance Long-Ranging Patrols and
operated in Platoon and Company raid. The
Vietnam Era and Cold War Era reverted back to
small patrols due to lack of money and to be
un-noticed in the battlefield due to mission
requirements. (Keep in mind that after WWII
and even after Korea) there was no plans to
re-activate Ranger units. The US Army made
allowance by following orders directed by US
Congress to authorize a "Ranger-Type group" to
help with the collection of intelligence
missions similar to OSS and patrolled like
smaller Ranger Patrols or teams. Of the units
compared to LRRP or LRP RANGER and repliated
their modous operandi was the fame Alamo
Scouts of the US 6TH Army. In Korea's War it
was the Rangers Companies by being Airborne
capable with the same modous and patrolling as
(LRRP). They were the true father of
LRRP/LRP/LRS Rangers. The only similarity the
75TH Infantry "Merrill's Marauders" had with
LRRP is they both operated in Southeast Asia
and they both attended a special Long Range
Penetration (LRP) Course. The whole thing was
politically geri-mandered to allow a famous
Ranger-type Commando unit back on active duty.
What is done-is done. Don't get me wrong, the
75TH Infantry is my regiment. The Ranger
Soldiers of Vietnam were time-vested as
Ranger-type and the time before the 75TH
Infantry is the commencement of their
activities which was 1965 not January 1969. I
hope someday this history can be solidified to
reflect the true and daring history of our
time in the Vietnam War. Oh! by the way, all
you quazi-historians need to stop putting the
75th's history as the being of Rangers in
Vietnam.

BROTHER LRPS/RGRS, I called Smokey Wells last
night, seems he called me a few days ago, but
left the number on my TEXT msg.I'm telling you
he's really down in the dumps, can't hardly
move. Apparently from what he told me, he was
shopping in a WAL- MART and some stuff fell on
him , injuring his neck, upper back and
shoulders, When I mentioned a lawsuit, he told
me no one would take the case. Seems WAL-MART
has the second largest Law unit in any major
corporation, second to Disneyland/ Disneyworld
and nobody's got the guts or enough money to
get a good lawyer. I thought it might be nice
if some of his old teammates and friends
dropped him a line and try and lift his
spirits. His e-mail is

Folks, I will get up off my dead ass and join
soon. I am a civilian procrastinator now. I
remember Sgt Lasher, Sgt Stover, and Sgt
Cunningham putting me through RIP during the
fall of 1984. I was a smart mouth 82d All Most
Airborne Punk who drove a 1984 HD FXRT.
Arrogant shit, couldn't tell me anything.
Unless you smoked my bags. Then I would
submit, and quickly!! Ended up working within
the PAC. In 1989, I would PCS from 3/7 SFGA
Panama, SA, to be the PSNCO of the 1st Rgr
PAC. Check this story out! I remember when I
pinned and received my SSG in 90. I reported
to the Repl Depl Station at FSGA in Feb. I had
made the cutoff score in Dec 89, and had
bribed the PFC Promotions Clerk with a case of
Coors Light Beer if he would ensure that I
received my SSG promotion orders before I
reported to duty after inprocessing through
FSGA for 1/75. I received the orders the next
day, went up to my room and ripped off SGT,
and unceremoniously pinned on my SSG Stripes.
I then got on my FXRT, and drove to the
Battalion, signed in, and noone within the
Chain of Command knew the difference. Last I
saw Sgt Lasher, he was a WO w/the 160th SOAR.
Please let him know that when ever I listen to
Steve Miller sing "The Joker," I think of him
and his outlook on life. Me, I will always
remain a "Space Cowboy." I eventually went on
to USASOC and became a Plans NCO, and BG(R) RW
Potter's Enlisted Aide. I also assisted the
Great MG(R) Grange towards his PCS to the 3d
ID, Germany. Great man, and his missus Holly
was just a wonderful person. Afterwards, I
went on to SOCPAC and served with the J1/J5.
Retired out of Butte MEPS as the Operations
NCOIC. GOD Bless the 75th Ranger Regiment, and
the 75th Ranger Association. Mike Manley,
Lyme, CT

Just received a Priliminary draft from a

great piece about LRRP units in Viet Nam.
Great stories of the 11th Cav LRRP unit and H
company. Had some Play on P company also. Was
impressed with the story line and accuracy of
the Book. This thing is being shopped now so
maybe by this time next year you folks will be
able to read it. I was a medic and did a lot
of work with L company. You guys don't get the
credit you deserve. The book covers a broad
spectrum of stories and tales from actual
battle reports. From the earliest times on the
DMZ he paints the transition from the 3rd
Recon of the 3rd Marine to the 75th and L
company. Good play on H company in the A shau
and the 11th ACR in Cambodia and thier
missions to destroy bridges and LRRP missions
in the rubber and surrounding areas during the
tet. Very interesting reading and should be a
good book for you ranger types. Doc Watson

HOOOAH!!!!!! to all my Ranger brothers and
their families. I am counting the days to our
reunion and am looking forward to meeting
other Rangers, and seeing those I had met
before; sharing stories, pictures and
memories-again. The reunions are our link to
the past, present and furture. I am humbled to
even know some of the heros of the 75th
Regiment, those that served so honorably and
gave their best. And as we all know someone
that gave their ALL, we will refresh our
memory of them so people will not forget
because we neglect to mention their sacrifice.
May God Bless Them And Their Families. I am
taking another cross-country trip and plan to
visit as many Rangers as possible. I have
reconditioned an old motorcoach so all I'll
need for a visit this year will be a resonably
level spot and a welcome. A special thank you
to those that put me up for a night or two
last year and I hope to see as many of you as
I can. Thanks again and see you soon. Hal O.

To My Fellow Rangers, 05/29/2005 Just wanted
to say, I hope that your Memorial Day is an
enjoyable time will be an enjoyable time! I
know that for me this day always has another
Special Meaning for me, as I'm sure it has for
you. I hqve to force myself to be Proud of
what our Comrades died for instead of feeling
the pain my losses bring about. God Rest Their
Souls! Sorry for this being a little dismal. I
need to watch that! I hope to see all of you
at the the reunion at Columbus, GA. I know
that Mary & I will be there! Take Care All
