What a thrill it is to have the Platoon website up and running! It looks beautiful – I hope all the men of the 2nd 27th C Company ’68-’69 will enjoy visiting the site. Thank you, Jake, for all your many hours of hard work getting this site going!

Stopped by to spend a few minutes with Freddie J Hannah and the other boys that paid the price that I and many like me can have the freedom we so enjoy each day.I thank them and those before and after for our freedom.I thank you and each one that served also for their courage to see it thru and keep us free.

Hello everyone! I am updating the Guestbook … adding older entries from the old website, so be patient, as there are many, many of them! As I read and type the old ones into the new site, many bring a tear to my eye and some are very touching and some make me smile … thanks to all of you who have left your info and remarks here. Stay in touch on here and with each other! Love, Lady Laura Wolfhound

Hi Tad,
My name is John “Big John” Quintrell and I am the guy that created the website for the Wolfhounds. I was so sorry to hear your Dad committed suicide. So many of our brothers saw too much death and destruction. I understand you have some pictures. Would you be willing to share them with us? Also, When was your Dad in Vietnam? Do you have any old copies of orders he may have sent home? Please call me and we can talk. My phone # is 406-799-6555. Thanks so much for leaving a comment on our website.

Take Care,

Big John

It was an honor for us to have some of the guys from your platoon stay at Back O The Moon Resort in September. Today, being Veteran’s Day, we would like to thank each and every one of you for serving our country during a very difficult time. We appreciate your service very much and look forward to seeing you again.

1st time to visit the new website. I can tell it took a lot of organizing and time. Kudos to you and others that worked on it. I am looking forward to seeing Mike Deline and everyone at the 2010 Branson Reunion.

What to say about the reunion. Those that missed it don’t know what they have missed. I was hesitant about going when I heard about it, but my wife thought it would do me good and I wanted to see some of the guys again. I WILL TELL YOU THIS. THE REUNION DID MORE HEALING THAN ALL THE VA COUNSELORS IN THE WORLD CAN DO. DON’T BE AFRAID TO GO TO THE NEXT ONE. Big John and Laura did such an amazing job of putting this on and getting ready. Thank you so very much. It was as hard to leave the guys this time, as it was when I left them in Nam. You guys that don’t want to talk about it or want to forget it, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY FOR ATTENDING THE NEXT ONE. I needed it as did a bunch of the others and oh, what a relief. I finally, after 42 years found out just how Jackie Morrison died from Jim Marshal (Thank you so much, Jim) I am telling you, if you haven’t attended you need to. You will see a difference in your life.
