HENRY O'NEAL FOUND - ALPHA 1968- 1969 time frame.
Adam Mekschun of Madison, WI managed to find long lost Alpha Red Warrior Henry O'Neal. Not only that, he arranged to meet him down in Florida.
Henry said that Adam's surprise phone call was the first Red Warrior to reach out in over 50 years.. Adam gave Henry a list of other Alpha members of his era, and Henry indeed reached out.
Henry doesn't own a computer so snail mail him if you can. His address is:
Henry O'Neal, 94 S Huntington CT, Richmond hill GA 31324. Cell 912 547 4133
Thanks to Adam for reaching out!

DENNIS WITT PUBLISHES HIS FIRST BOOK - STORIES FROM THE FIELD
Red Warrior (C/1/12 & HHC/1/12 – 66-67) Dennis Witt has just published a book about life in the infantry in Vietnam. The book is titled ‘Infantry Life: Vietnam’s Central Highlands 1966 – 1967’.
The book is a collection of short stories and pictures describing experiences he had as an infantryman in Vietnam. Following is a blurb about the book:
Dennis began writing the stories simply as a legacy for his family and friends. After he finished the 70th story, he decided the collection of short stories, taken as a whole, generally described what life was like for him and his Red Warrior brothers over that year they shared together. After much encouragement, he decided to put them into book form.
All the men that served in the Red Warriors and in the 4th Infantry Division have memories of similar events that were part of their daily lives in the jungles of the Central Highlands. Most of the stories in the book describe events that filled 95 percent of the time infantry men in the 4ID spent in Vietnam.
If you are interested, the book is available through Amazon – both hard copy and Kindle (Search ‘Infantry Life + Witt).
