I spent the largest portion of my career in 2/1 Cav. F Troop, A Troop and HHT. Started out as a 11D then 11C. Served from November 1974 to 1978 - 1983 to 1991. Went with 1/7 Cav to the Strom and proudly wore the 2nd AD patch while attached to the 1st Cav. Retired in 1996 and now I reside in Gatesville just outside of Fort Hood. 2/1 Cav is now and will always be in my heart as well as all of you 2/1 Cavers. Courage and Faith.

I would suggest a good task for the 2/1 Cav: Help us vets that are disabled and fu*#ed up with PTSD and Agent Orange crap to get our disability benefits. I read about 2 troopers that had no records kept by 2/1st in the recent newsletter. Just like me. Hell with reunions, lets take care of brothers that served and had their lives screwed up 40-43 years ago in hell. What say lifers????

just found this site. served with c-troop 2/1st in song mao in 1970. have ptsd and cant remember much of the names anymore. was co. commanders driver[creole 6] for a while. about all i can recall. stood down and came back to song mao on an artillery base. but dont know which. only names i remember from song mao was howie brown and gary huff.

I attended the 4th div. 1/12 Red Warriors reunion in KC June 24-26. My best friend was killed on 6-5-'69 while in this unit. I brought home his remains. I was an airborne grunt attached to the 2/1st in "A" Trp., 68-69.
I felt at home with the grunts from my friend's unit. Never been to a 2/1st reunion. Was never mechanized. We cleared the mines in the road, changed the tracks, swept the jungle on foot and went on patrols.
Best to all 'Nam brothers.
2/1st did not keep records of our actions and my wounds. Makes it impossible to get comp from VA, even though sick and disabled for 42 yrs.
We never quit..............

I want to Wish all my fellow BlackHawks a Great Memorial Day .

My father, Herbart Baldauf, was in Troop D. He attended the reunion in 2006 at Gettysburg with my mother. He passed in August of 2007. I was so happy to see pictures of him. He would talk about the reunion and how much it helped to see his fellow soldiers. I believe it helped him immensely to heal his wounds. Thank you and God bless you!

The most challenging and enjoyable unit I have ever been a part of!
