In January 2007,
several veterans who served in Bravo Company during 1967-68 decided to
establish a website that would contain a summary of our tour of duty in
Vietnam, together with photographs and a company roster with available email
addresses. Our approach requires a brief explanation. A tour of duty in
Vietnam was normally 12 months and the rotation period for most personnel
arriving or departing 1st
Cavalry Division units was mostly during the summer months. In view of this
rotation timeframe and our objectives, it made sense to focus on a specific
period, such as, from the summer of 1967 to the summer of 1968, and so on.
As the objective is to present a fairly detailed account of our year in
Vietnam, this can only be prepared by veterans who served in Bravo Company
during that particular year. We hope that our 1967-68 site will encourage
other year groups to develop similar web sites that are linked together by
our common name – Eager Arms, the radio call sign for Bravo Company during
most of the Vietnam War. Therefore, the proposed site names and timeframes
are “eagerarms1965-66”, “eagerarms1966-67”, this site – “eagerarms1967-68”,
and so on. The following persons have expressed an interest in developing a web site for the indicated year group: |
