Looking for a Capt LONDON or anyone that may have served with SSG GEORGE KNOWLTON in Vietnam during 1966-67 with the 1st Infantry Division. SSG KNOWLTON was killed on November 19, 1967 in Binh Duong Province. I need to know how he died after 43 years so that I can tell his (our) children. His family would not tell me anything or give me any of his belongings. Although we were not married I am the mother of his children. Was a lot of that going around at that time. According to a book, "Phantom Warriors" his C.O. in 1/4 LRRP was a Captain LONDON. The book also mentions a BOB ELSNER. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bless all of you who serve. Our two boys served, one in the Marines and the other in the Navy, so his (GEORGE'S) wishes that the boys do so were met.
Thank you for any help. God Bless.

It is with great sadness and anger that I want to relay the following: Former Ranger Mark Renninger was one of the police officers gunned down in Washington on 11/29/09. I remember him as a cocky little private (typical ranger, as it should be) when he first came to the Regimental S2 shop. He was a good kid, learned quick, got his tab and like the rest of us, set the example for others to follow. He apparently went on to do great things as a Law Enforcement Officer, rising to the rank of SGT. God Bless him and his family.

Life member 0300, Well guys I can not jump anymore, I can't chance it anymore. Three mishaps is all this body can take. Finished up with 1,337 jumps. 97 freefalls, 5 qualifying smoke jumps, earn Canadian and Honduran jump wings and for those who attended USMC Jump master course under 7TH Special Forces back in 1985. Anyway, my daugther said dad you stop jumping and I will pay for your ground fix wing school. Hey, I can do that. Oh, a little historical info for LRRP-LRP-RANGER 1965-1972 era. The WWII Marauder/Ranger and even some Korea Era Ranger were given the training tab under "combat value" assetment. Combat value was taken out of the system in 1962. If any training tabs were handed out after that, other than attending USAIS Ranger school, is B.S. 7TH Army sponsered a LRRP training course but that ended back in the 60's. What we are authorized as Distinctive Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (DSSI) and was submitted to DA was the 75TH Ranger Inf DSSI for LRRP-RANGERS, 1ST, 2ND, 3RD RANGER Battalions. In 1985 under the new HQ the DSSI was modified to read 75 RANGER RGT. So that means we can wear the 75TH Ranger Inf DSSI if you can find them now. You see the 75TH Ranger Inf. was the scroll that was submitted and approved by Army Heraldry. The paper trail ends there. Rangers lead the way.

At first I was of the mind set that I could or should make all the calls and decisions myself, not at all true. I learned this by looking at my predicessors who for the most part did this well, but i knew it was not me. So I looked close by and found all the resources I needed to make it happen.

I think I remember SP4 Gary Cupit at LZ English. I was there from Feb to Nov 1969. I was a Recon SGT with 41st Arty and Aerial Observer with 203rd RAC "Hawkeyes" at LZ English. I got intel positions twice daily on Ranger Team grid locations from N/75 TOC. I got to know a lot of Rangers really well. I flew commo checks every night for teams on the ground and fired artillery missions for them. SP4 Cupit was pretty close with SSG Patrick Tadina. Patrick Tadina retired as a Ranger "Command Sergeant Major" in 2007. My sincere thanks goes out to all Rangers, Family, and Friends of Gary Cupit. I am extremely saddened to hear of his passing.
I flew aerial artillery recon and commo for N/75th Rangers at LZ English from Feb 1969 to November 1969. My call sign was Hawkeye 2 Hotel. I received special orders authorization to wear the N/75th Rangers unit patch. It was warded to by MSG "Bagpipes". Does anyone remember his real name.

Just nosing around and came across the site. Was with C 2/503 from May 65 to Dec and then went to LRRP in Jan 66 to Sep 66. Point man. Loved to walk point. Made a career, had to threaten to resign to get to Ranger School. Their philosophy was that I was Special Forces and combat vet so what did I need Ranger School for. Told them I'd done the work, wanted the tab!
Been retired 25 years now. That just puts a grin on my face. Proud to be a Ranger and real proud of you guys.

Darrell Boatman Memorial Re-Dedication.
My name is Marc Thompson. I am the current Unit Director for VII Corps LRRP, C/58, and B/75.
There will be a re-dedication of the 28th Division Memorial at Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania on 12 September, 2009.
Those of you who knew Roy Boatman of November Rangers may also know that he passed away shortly after his son Darrell was KIA in Iraq in 2005. At the time of his death, Darrell was attached to the 110th Infantry, part of the active duty portion of the Pennsylvania National Guard.
Because he was attached to the 110th, Darrell's name appears on the 28th Division Memorial, which is located on post at the Gap.
Joyce Boatman will be traveling to my house in PA, and I will escort her to the re-dedication on that date. There is also a possibility that John Chester will attend.
What I am trying to determine is if any other members of N Co. or the RRA would like to attend this Memorial service.
You can contact me at:
Marc L. Thompson
610-913-8183 (home)
610-763-2756 (cell)
Email: mthompdejazzd.com
I already have calls into Reed Cundiff (N Co.) and Chuck Vaughn (C Co. - lives in PA also). Bill Bullen will not be able to attend due to prior commitments.
Please contact me for further information regarding the re-dedication, and because I want to inform the Detachment Commander at the Gap and the others who served with Darrell as to how many RRA members to expect.
Thank you, Marc
RLTW

Operation Just Cause - Ranger Rendezvous - Panama
Operation Just Cause Anniversary Trip - October 14th - 20th To all Operation Just Cause Rangers, this year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Ranger lead invasion. This October 14th - 20th return to Panama without rucks or weapons where we will visit the beautiful and modern day Panama as well as some of the battle sites we fought upon 20 years ago.
Below is a tentative trip itinerary, the dates are set, but any reference to cost or prices right now are not. Airfares to Panama are reasonable right now, and accommodations in country are inexpensive. Travel insurance is recommended.
Just Cause Reunion Itinerary includes-
1. Visiting Noriega's old mansion, Rio Hato, Punta Patilla (now a shopping mall)
2. El Valle de Anton, the crater of an extinct volcano
3. Boquete, the most beautiful place in Panama
4. And of course visit the Panama canal itself, (the locks and museum)
Optional side trips include:
Casco Viejo, the site of "old Panama" after Henry Morgan sacked the city in 1671.
The "original" site of Panama city, PRE 1671 is called "Panama Viejo" and is mostly ruins.
The canal zone - several old buildings and such to see.
La Comandancia and Modelo prison sites - now a park of sorts, not much to see, but we can drive by it so you can say you visited the site where some of our brothers died.
Amador causeway - beautiful vistas of Panama city, good restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

In reference to our BDQ Ranger brothers and U.S. Ranger Advisors that served with the RSVN Biet Dong Quan-Sat! Congratulations on the recognition of your dedicated service and expert Ranger abilities. Our Rangers and theirs were dedicated to the man, tested under the harshest combat conditions that South East Asia had to offer. All fully prepared to fight to the death.The BDQ were the last RSVN Warriors to lay down their arms. And then only through a direct order from their Biet Dong Quan-Sat Ranger General did they lay down their arms. Understanding the Evils of capture by Communists forces many BDQ Rangers chose to fight to the death rather than capture. A few living off the land E&E'd with famlies in tow through Communist held territory and on to freedom. Airborne!! BDQ! RLTW!!!

I'd like to request it be posted on the website, and placed into our quarterly Patrolling, that there is a new book out about Rangers and Ranger Training.
The book is entitled "Mountain Ranger" written by Ross Hall.
This book is about the history of the US Army Mountain Ranger Camp at Dahlonega, Ga, and for many of our members who served there, I thought they would be interested in getting a copy.
This book is based on interviews of former cadre going all the way back to 1952 which is the year that the Mountain Phase of Training began in and around the Dahlonega area.
To order a book, our members can do one of two things:
They can contact the author direct (Ross Hall) at his email address which is: pageone@windstream.net
They can also order a book directly from him by mail. Send a check or money order for $18.00 (includes P&H) to:

Greetings..Just stumbled upon your site doing a search for a buddy..Found him but I was wondering why under your Viet Nam units that you did not include the 11th ACR LRRPS? I know they Operated as both Aero Rifle Platoon and LRRP's when I was in Viet Nam. Was it because they were not picked up during the transition? I knew some guys that went over there (Volunteered) and they all had to attend the Recondo School. Just wondering. I am sure it is not important but while I was there they worked those guys to death.
Anyway no big deal.Great site. Good info.
Adios

Operation Just Cause - Ranger Rendezvous - Panama
December 20, 2009 will mark the 20th Anniversary of America's Invasion of Panama in a successful bid to over throw Dictator General Manuel Noriega. The U.S. Army Rangers were an integral part of the invasion and spearheaded the war with combat parachute assaults on multiple airfields. Rangers, I Patrick "Mac" McElrath (formerly of C Co 2/75) am putting together a group trip for any Just Cause Rangers who would like to go back for 1 week in December to tour Panama, visit some of the spots we traded lead with PDF, and reminisce about the invasion.
What I am asking of you is that if you think you would be interested in joining us for this trip please contact me at mac(replace this)rangermac.com and let me know as soon as possible. No commitment is necessary yet, I'm simply trying to gauge the level of interest from the Just Cause vets for a trip like this. If the response is great enough I'll start recruiting for the trip, organizing tours, airfares, and billeting.
I hope to hear back from many of you soon.
Live the Creed, Patrick "Mac" McElrath mac(replace this)rangermac.com 425.238.0846
I seek assistance in compiling a bio on SFC Frank C. Lincoln (deceased) to submit to the USMRA (Mountain Ranger Association) for them to use in providing Lincoln a memorial. Lincoln was my 2d PLT SGT in Nam in '70- '71, tremendously admired and respected by me and the men in my PLT as well as the entire Co C (Ranger), 75th Inf (Airborne). Lincoln was the one I trusted to prepare Macguire Rigs and rope extractions, having been an expert with ropes/knots that he probably mastered while an instructor with the Mountain Ranger Camp. Lincoln was also the only person I know who performed actual sniper missions for our company in Nam. I know Lincoln was an instructor at the mountain phase in June of 1969 since he was the instructor of SSG Tony Foster, TL of Team 22 in Nam, when Tony went through Ranger School. I also remember that Lincoln wore the 101st patch on his right arm when I knew & loved him in Nam.
Please email me if you have any information I can use to honor Lincoln.

Rangers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade 1965-1971 Still working on list of LRS -74th Inf. Det. Airborne Long Range Surveillance. Contact me to be added to Master List of those who served.
NOTE: There has been some discussions about the Yellow Ranger Tab:
Here is my input: Ranger Tab is for completing a very hard advance military school. Those who have graduated should be proud of that.
For those who were not able to attend the school due to our low Rank, we earn our LRRP/LPR/RGR Scroll in real day-to-day fire-fight combat missions with blood of our friends and enemies on our hands. Vietnam Rangers, not allowed to wear the Ranger School Tab as the WWII and Korean Rangers were giving for being in combat. On the outside world, you do-not- need a college degree to be succesfull. Just my thoughts and others who who have commented.

Hello Rangers: Jan and I would first like to say Happy New Year for 2009. If you haven't received the word, we are back in our retirement home in Wellsville, New York. I'm now working for the Veterans Administration at Bath VA Hospital, ER/ICU, and Jan is working in the local (Jones Memorial Hospital, Wellsville) in the O.R. Coming this December, it will be 20 years since Operation Just Cause. Hard to believe that it's been that long, and how fast it went by. The US Mountain Ranger Association will be holding it's annual "Critter Cookout" in April at Camp Merrill, in Dahonega, GA., and the US Army Ranger Association will be conducting it's annual "Ranger Muster" (sponsored by the Western Region of that organization) in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sept 7-11. The 75th Ranger Regiment Association is holding the "Ranger Rendevous" at Columbus, GA, 2-
8 August. There are lots of Ranger events this year, and many opportunities to make at least one of them for most of us, depending on where we live. OK Rangers, take care, good luck, and if your deployed, stay safe!! Joe Mattison

My name is Marc Thompson. I am the current Unit Director for VII Corps LRRP, C/58, and B/75.
There will be a re-dedication of the 28th Division Memorial at Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania on 12 September, 2009.
Those of you who knew Roy Boatman of November Rangers may also know that he passed away shortly after his son Darrell was KIA in Iraq in 2005. At the time of his death, Darrell was attached to the 110th Infantry, part of the active duty portion of the Pennsylvania National Guard.
Because he was attached to the 110th, Darrell's name appears on the 28th Division Memorial, which is located on post at the Gap. Joyce Boatman will be traveling to my house in PA, and I will escort her to the re-dedication on that date. There is also a possibility that John Chester will attend.
What I am trying to determine is if any other members of N Co. or the RRA would like to attend this Memorial service. You can contact me at:
Marc L. Thompson
610-913-8183 (home)
610-763-2756 (cell)
Email: mthomp
I already have calls into Reed Cundiff (N Co.) and Chuck Vaughn (C Co. - lives in PA also). Bill Bullen will not be able to attend due to prior commitments.
Please contact me for further information regarding the re-dedication, and because I want to inform the Detachment Commander at the Gap and the others who served with Darrell as to how many RRA members to expect.
Thank you, Marc RLTW

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Operation Just Cause Anniversary Trip - October 14th - 20th To all Operation Just Cause Rangers, this year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Ranger lead invasion. This October 14th - 20th return to Panama without rucks or weapons where we will visit the beautiful and modern day Panama as well as some of the battle sites we fought upon 20 years ago.
Below is a tentative trip itinerary, the dates are set, but any reference to cost or prices right now are not. Airfares to Panama are reasonable right now, and accommodations in country are inexpensive. Travel insurance is recommended.
Just Cause Reunion Itinerary includes-
1. Visiting Noriega's old mansion, Rio Hato, Punta Patilla (now a shopping mall)
2. El Valle de Anton, the crater of an extinct volcano
3. Boquete, the most beautiful place in Panama
4. And of course visit the Panama canal itself, (the locks and museum)
Optional side trips include:
- Casco Viejo, the site of "old Panama" after Henry Morgan sacked the city in 1671.
- The "original" site of Panama city, PRE 1671 is called "Panama Viejo" and is mostly ruins.
- The canal zone - several old buildings and such to see.
- La Comandancia and Modelo prison sites - now a park of sorts, not much to see, but we can drive by it so you can say you visited the site where some of our brothers died.
- Amador causeway - beautiful vistas of Panama city, good restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

The book is entitled "Mountain Ranger" written by Ross Hall.
This book is about the history of the US Army Mountain Ranger Camp at Dahlonega, Ga, and for many of our members who served there, I thought they would be interested in getting a copy.
This book is based on interviews of former cadre going all the way back to 1952 which is the year that the Mountain Phase of Training began in and around the Dahlonega area.
To order a book, our members can do one of two things:
They can contact the author direct (Ross Hall) at his email address which is: pageone@windstream.net
They can also order a book directly from him by mail. Send a check or money order for $18.00 (includes P&H) to:

December 20, 2009 will mark the 20th Anniversary of America's Invasion of Panama in a successful bid to over throw Dictator General Manuel Noriega. The U.S. Army Rangers were an integral part of the invasion and spearheaded the war with combat parachute assaults on multiple airfields. Rangers, I Patrick "Mac" McElrath (formerly of C Co 2/75) am putting together a group trip for any Just Cause Rangers who would like to go back for 1 week in December to tour Panama, visit some of the spots we traded lead with PDF, and reminisce about the invasion.
What I am asking of you is that if you think you would be interested in joining us for this trip please contact me at mac(replace this)rangermac.com and let me know as soon as possible. No commitment is necessary yet, I'm simply trying to gauge the level of interest from the Just Cause vets for a trip like this. If the response is great enough I'll start recruiting for the trip, organizing tours, airfares, and billeting.
I hope to hear back from many of you soon.
Live the Creed,
Patrick "Mac" McElrath

Currently have 113 active members on our Contact List and to this date, 530 names listed on Document Called: Rangers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade 1965-1971 Still working on list of LRS -74th Inf. Det. Airborne Long Range Surveillance. Contact me to be added to Master List of those who served. NOTE: There has been some discussions about the Yellow Ranger Tab: Here is my input: Ranger Tab is for completing a very hard advance military school. Those who have graduated should be proud of that.
For those who were not able to attend the school due to our low Rank, we earn our LRRP/LPR/RGR Scroll in real day-to-day fire-fight combat missions with blood of our friends and enemies on our hands. Vietnam Rangers, not allowed to wear the Ranger School Tab as the WWII and Korean Rangers were giving for being in combat. On the outside world, you do-not- need a college degree to be succesfull. Just my thoughts and others who who have commented.
