   I’m looking for Sgt. Johnny Chandler that was stationed at either Will or Henry Kaserne durin 1966 and 1967. He dated a german girl named Kitty and they had a son named Robert in March of 1967. She left for the US in April 1967 with a soldier named Jack. She would like to find sgt. Chandler just to let him know what wonderful son he has, NOTHING ELSE.
   Thanks for your help.

     Dick–I was just browsing…came across this site and saw your post. I was with C 1/35th (gun section) from 1963-1965. I volunteered for Vietnam in October of 1965 and got my orders in November of 1965 assigning me to the 1st Cav Division in An Khe, Vietnam. Yeap–there with C 1/35th we spent PLENTY time in the field not to mention all the different alerts!! Came over to the 1/35th in ’63 as PFC and left in November of ’65 as Sgt E-5. Oh…almost forgot. In the gun sections–we had all sorts of inspections. Man!! We went from the “towed” 105mm to the M109 155 SP (self-propelled). I was still in the State when Kennedy got shot but came over right afterwards.

   I served in the HHQ Co., 76th Airborne Tank Btn, 11th Airborne Divison and in the HHQ Co., 3rd Med Tank Btn.,34th Armor, 24th Infantry Division at Henry Kaserne from June 1958 to June 1960. Just another forgotten Cold War guy. I sometimes wonder how many of my friends from those days at Henry went on to Viet Nam and served over there ???? I also wonder how many of those guys I served with, were awarded later on the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for their involvement in Operation Bluebat under the 11Th Airborne Div. And Operation Grandios under the 24th Infantry Div. Since President Kennedy awarded this new medal a few years after the Intervention into Lebanon I really don’t believe the Army went back and looked up the people who served and awarded them properly. Anyone that knows anyone that got their medal please drop a line here.
