What was the name of the A Company Commander's name who was killed the first part of 1967? He was killed (along with a few others) by a claymore. I remember the incident but cannot remember his name.

His name was Capt. Thompson (I found it after I posted). He was killed on January 24, 1967 in Tay Ninh by the blast from a 100 lb claymore and a short fire fight that followed. Along with him was killed SSGT Portello, Senior Medic Gregory,
(this is from the Living Wall), "at the same time. Casey, Daugherty, Short, a lieutenet and two, new guys, were wounded."
We were close by when the explosion went off and were there within minutes.
A 2nd/2nd.

John,
Here is a report for 24 January 1967. Hope you are still good a reading military jargon!
FYI, AO DECOY was in the vicinity of BONG TRANGE JUNGLE. DECOY was the 2nd Battalions call sign until March 1967.

John,
It is just chance that I had this report. Around 1992 I decided that I wanted to learn more about the time period I was with the 2nd BN, 2nd INf in Vietnam, which was July 66-67. I wrote to the National Archives and after spending a bit of money, time and etc I had over 700+ pages of material. That is the very short version of getting the report.
Just imagine if that is for 1 year how much material is there for the 2 battalions for the entire 41/2 years they were in Vietnam. And no I do not have Morning Reports, that is a whole seperate ball game.

Gents. I have some Morning Reports, and After Action Reports. Its amazing on how detail these reports are.
I got mine through The Personnel Records from St. Louis.
When you order you need to ask for about three months before and three months after the action date that your trying to obtain.
