Any BillBob sightings?
Just like a lost puppy, he'll eventually show up.
He doesn't even answer my PM's and I found a nice Class C Motorhome for sale.....sent him the info and never heard a word from him.
I haven't heard from him, but I think his wife is looking for him too :Rofl

Kind of like big foot sightings, you never know where or when, then they just turn out to be falseQuote:

That is not a Confederate hat darling...... That's a U.S. Army First Cav hat ( http://www.hood.army.mil/1stCavDiv/ ) that billbob earned the right to wear. Confederate hats are grey anyway.Quote:

The division went home in 1965, but only long enough to be reorganized and prepared for a new mission. Within 90 days of becoming the Army's first air mobile division, the First Team was back in combat as the first fully committed division of the Vietnam War.
Their first real combat test came during the Pleiku campaign ; 35 days of continuous air mobile operations beginning October 29, 1965. The troopers destroyed two of the three regiments of a North Vietnamese Division, earning the first Presidential Unit Citation given to a division in Vietnam.
The division began 1968 by terminating Operation Pershing, the longest of the 1st Cav's Vietnam actions. For nearly a year the division scoured the Bong Son plain, An Lo valley and the hills of coastal II Corps, seeking out enemy units and their sanctuaries. When the operation ended on January 21, the enemy had lost 5,401 soldiers and 2,400 enemy soldiers had been detained. Some 1,300 individual and 137 crew served weapons had been captured or destroyed.
Moving to I Corps, Vietnam's northern most tactical zone, the division set up Camp Evans for their new base camp. In late January, the enemy launched the Tet Offensive, a major effort to overrun South Vietnam. Some 7,000 enemy, primarily well equipped, crack NVA regulars blasted their way into the imperial city of Hue and Quang Tri, the capital of Vietnam's northern most province.
The Cav went on the move and by February 1, Quang Tri was liberated followed by Hue. After shattering the enemy's dreams of a Tet victory, the 1st Cavalry Division "Sky-troopers" moved to relieve the besieged Marine Base at Khe Sann.
In May 1970, the First Team was "First into Cambodia," hitting what was previously a Communist sanctuary. Troopers deprived the enemy of much needed supplies and ammunition, scattering the enemy forces. The division's Vietnam service ended in 1972 when its last brigade began withdrawing. The 1st Cav had been the first division to go, and the last to leave.
"Firsts" had become the trademark of the First Team.
General Creighton Abrams, while commander of all U.S. Forces in Southeast Asia, said of the 1st Cav, "The big yellow patch does something to an individual that makes him a better soldier, a better team member, and a better American than he otherwise would have been."
Welcome Home Ted

Hey Billbob, you remember the "Name The Boat" contest? Your suggestion was "Welcome Home" and that stuck in my mind throughout the whole contest. That was my pick until the last minute and as you know I went with FreeBird....Well, after reading the history provided by "G", Welcome Home will now be incorporated on my boat for the recognition of You and all Vietnam Vets...Thx for your service, Sir....And Thanks "G" for putting a history lesson on here for all of us to learn!!
Now I am no longer JADA:Rofl
As Paul Harvey used to say..." Now you know the rest of the story"......well almost anyway.....some things are not spoken about except to other vets. But anyway, billbobs a great guy and I am proud to call him my friend.
I found Bill Bob. Sounded like he might be getting ready to scoop some snow. Or throw away the shovel and head South I told him.
Not sure how many non-Veterans are aware, BUT the Vietnam Veterans were not welcomed home when returning from over there as the Soldiers of today are...SO to ALL who have SERVED this great land of ours, who have protected her shores, whether from her shores or from the battle fields of some far of nation, I a fellow VETERAN, say to all of you.....WELCOME HOME!!!!!!
