The ball will celebrate the recent return of the Regiment from deployment in Afghanistan.

It was just last year that 2/12th web master Arnold Krause lost everything in a series of wildfires that went through his California home. Since then he has moved to - no pun intended - Sparks, Nevada. He lost all of his military memorabilia, so it was of special joy that he received a shadow box containing a flag flown over 2/12th's headquarters in Afghanistan. Red Warrior Ed Northrop arranged the special honor for the work he does for the 12th Regiment.

Krause responded: "I am humbled once again by the kind thought and dedication each of you have demonstrated since I have known you. It is greatly appreciated and goes right to my heart, the love I have for this Country and for men like you. Thank you so much for this gift. It is an honor to be recognized and to receive this flag which I shall proudly display for everyone to see."

Sgt Holovits and hs iwife Linda on their wedding day, Dec. 17, 1963

Red Warrior Dennis Lewallen has never forgotten Laszlo Holovits, his Sgt in Vietnam. He vividly remembers the day Holovits was accidentally killed on September 23, 1967, just weeks after his arrival in country. He was a member of Delta Company. Recently Lewallen reached out to Holovits' widow and the two finally got a chance to speak to each other.

Holovits was from Hungary, and the military promised him a fast track to become a U.S. citizen. That hope died when he was killed. Through the years though, his wife Linda has pursued the dream of her husband receiving citizenship posthumously.

Monterey Herald reporter James Herrera picks up the story and in and an August 3 article, and updated on September 11, 2018, Herrera gives us the latest on Lewallen's contact with Holovits's wife and the progress of her quest.
