My Dad's service in Vietnam (A Co 2/5th 1st Cav)

Hello

I am seeking anyone who might know my Dad.  He was in country from Dec 68 - Dec 69.  Primarily in and around Tay Ninh.  I have his OMPF and can provide additional info if needed.  I would I have spoken to a few VN vets who were part of A Co but not in my Dad's platoon.  I would like to find anyone or perhaps sources for records that could tell me what platoon he was in.

Many thanks.

  • Hi Brad, my name is William Hendrix, I am trying to get information on my father’s service in Vietnam, his unit was Co A 2nd Bn 5th Cav 1st Air Cavalry. 1st Sgt Luther C Hendrix. I really don’t know how to get info. I think I am going to contact the 5th Cavalry in Texas. If anybody has any suggestions, would You please respond. Thank You

  • There are several sites I use in my research.  I also paid a professional researcher (Army VN vet) to pull records from the Archive in DC.  It is a very tedious process but I have been able to talk to a handful of vets that were in A Co.  Unfortunately, easily accessible records only drill down to the company level.  I would love to chat further, share some of my resources, but this particular forum doesn't allow for the sharing of contact info.  If the moderators will allow, I can share some websites I use
