Charlie Company Guestbook

Active with the 2-22 Vietnam infantry.

Just heard from Paul Gargis, that Doug Syvertson passed away awhile back. HE was an RTO in HHC 3/22 where Paul served. Both are on our mailing list.

This is a wonderful website!

Jimmy Swan. I wasn't in your platoon, but I do remember you. I remember our 2nd national reunion in Renton WA, by fort Lewis. Lt Phelps, 1st platoon, had slides he was showing and I saw you in a couple of them. "Who is that? I asked, I remember him. They said, Jimmy Swan. I think you were 3rd platoon, but I could be mistaken about that. And then eventually it was Dobosiewicz that told me where you were from and I found you. That was way back a long time ago, maybe early 90's ???

Next reunion is Des Moines IA, not too far from you. Hope to see you there.

Hello All,

I am 77 years old and happily living in Leoma Tennessee on a 17 acre farm. My wife Suzanne and I love to trail ride on our two horses. We have lived in Leoma Tennessee since October 2008- Ptresent. We also have 2 llamas, 3 donkeys, 4 Cows, 2 Barn Cats, Guinea Fowl and Chickens plus one very spoiled Doberman Pincher named Roper. The land and trails of the ride in was once a Recon Facility bad later an Army Traiining Facility. It's located in Anniston Alabama and is called McClellan Horse Camp. Is past Memorusl Day 2024 they had a special ceremony and flew at half mast for those service men and woman who didn't make it back an old and tattered American Flag which saw 4 tours in Vietnam. Apparently it was flown from a plane. It was something to see and brought tears to all our eyes!

I hope to someday make it to a Reuniom if it comes close to Tennessee and I am able to attend. As I get older my mind is not as sharp and I will probably not remember names but I'll be honored to be in the presence of my brothers.

If anyone remembers me Jimmy Bryan Swan please feel free to call me on my cell at (931-242-2721) or my wife Suzanne's cell at (931-242-1068).

Many blessings to all!

Jimmy Swan (C/3/22-1966 to 1967-Vietnam)

I got a call from Bill Knight yesterday. What a joy talking to him. He had a couple questions that luckily I had answers for. My memory isn't completely gone yet, HA! He ended up saying he might go to Des Moines next yr. It's not too far for him, he lives in IN. I told him I might go too. It's further for me, and I don't fly, but it's a nice drive, get to see lots of corn. OH, the corn will be gone in Oct, that's right.

Anyway, just letting everyone know that I might attend this one. I really miss seeing "the ol" gang" .

I can't remember if I reached out to Charlie Company to let you know that Tom lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on February 18. He fought until he took his last breath. He loved you all and so looked forward to the reunions.

Wishing all of my Charlie Company brothers a HAPPY Memorial Day God bless all of our brothers who did not come home. God bless their families and God bless you
