The third period ended when the Ranger companies were inactivated as their parent units were withdrawn from the war between November 1969 (Company O of 3d Brigade 82d Airborne Division), and 15 August 1972 (Company H of 1st Air Cavalry Division) [6]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/75th_Ra...#Vietnam_W ar ***** Co C (Ranger),75th Infantry I Field Force Vietnam 1 Feb. 1969 - 25 Oct. 1971 Co D (Ranger),151st Infantry II Field Force Vietnam 1 Feb. 1969 - 20 Nov. 1969 Co D (Ranger),75th Infantry II Field Force Vietnam 20 Nov. 1969 - 10 Apr. 1970 Co E (Ranger),75th Infantry 9th Infantry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 12 Oct. 1970 Co F (Ranger),75th Infantry 25th Infantry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 15 Mar 1971 Co G (Ranger),75th Infantry 23rd Infantry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 1 Oct. 1971 Co H (Ranger),75th Infantry 1st Cavalry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 15 Aug. 1972 Co I (Ranger),75th Infantry 1st Infantry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 7 Apr. 1970 Co K (Ranger),75th Infantry 4th Infantry Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 10 Dec. 1970 Co L (Ranger),75th Infantry 1O1st Airmobile Division 1 Feb. 1969 - 25 Dec. 1971 Co M (Ranger),75th Infantry 199th Infantry Brigade 1 Feb. 1969 - 12 Oct. 1970 Co N (Ranger),75th Infantry 173rd Airborne Brigade 1 Feb. 1969 - 25 Aug. 1971 Co 0 (Ranger),75th Infantry 3rd Brigade,82nd Abn. 1 Feb. 1969 - Division 20 Nov. 1969 Co P (Ranger),75th Infantry 1st Brigade, 5th Mech. 1 Feb. 1969 - Division 31 Aug. 1971. http://www.suasponte.com/vietnam.htm There didn't seem to have been too many of the 75th Rangers in-country in the period of 1971-73. In fact, it appears that the last of them, (Co. H) left around 15 Aug 72, officially, anyway. It seems likely that a survivor or two of such a relatively small handful of guys would surely remember Gunner well enough to help him verify his service and get his military records sorted out (Gunner enlisted under a false name, since he was underage at the time, causing him to have no record, DD 214, etc.), so he can get the benefits and recognition to which his service entitles him. The reunion for the 75th Ranger Association is set for July 25-30, 2011. http://www.75thrra.com/ That would be a good way for Gunner to make the re-acquaintance with his former brothers in arms. Maybe someone here could pass this on to him, or even help him out with it? I offered to help him with it in the past, since I'd dealt with other underage-enlisted vets, but he wasn't interested. Still, I firmly believe that no vet should be denied his due. Roger that! |
