My dad was in SVN 69-70 with the Australian Army. He's looking for a Sergeant Tommy Mendoza from 3/4 Cav who came to the Australian base at Nui Dat sometime in 1970. They stayed a week.

Hope they enjoyed the showers!

I was with I Troop Nov. 69 - Nov. 70. I also have all my letters sent home in a notebook arranged chronologically (by date). My mother was great to save everything so I have about 5 notebooks with all my letters, orders, and everything. I am in the process of writing a book of short stories about my experiences in Nam. I drove for the platoon Sgt. I-17 Joe Wertz. I hit a few land mines and had some bad times, but also some hilarious times. Allons

The reason that I remember about Crane so well is that he was with Balcom in 3rd Plt. and that he was killed about the same time Press was.

Hey guys. I was with HHT3/11 Oct69-Oct70. When I got asigned to the 3/11 one of the first guys I ran into was Kurt Sawaski from Hunnington Beach, CA. We hade been buds in AIT at Ft. Knox. We got seperated when he went to Sheridan school and I went to Shake-n-Bake. It was a great compfort to me To see someone I knew that soon over there. He was waiting to go home Oct 69 so we lost touch again but not before we had a few beers and a overnight stay in Bein Hoa. We came back with the truck that picked up the KP's from town. Best night I had. So just to say hey.

I served with the 1st Recon Squadron 11th ACR Straubing during the period March 1960 to March 1963 in successive assignments as Squadron PBO, Troop C XO, and 1st Squadron S3 Air. I remember well some of the local areas in beautiful downtown Straubing. The Karmuletenbrau and Cafe Kroner. Straubing even could boast a Woolworth 5 and dime store at the time. We are fortunate to visit this area every couple of years. signed Arnold W. Dunham

I am currently in the 11th ACR stationed and Fort Irwin, and I love to see the old pictures of the Regiment, it is pretty interesting to me, to see the difference between then and now and all the advances the army has made. "Blackhorse"

I'd like to thank the people who made this site for all the photos they have on here. I am doing a school project and needed photos for a make believe character. This site was all I needed and thank you to all the men who died fighting for what was right, even though I wasn't alive, they permitted me to exisit.

I must say I am in ABSOLUTE AWE of the pictures I have viewed here. I'm certain that our current troopers in the Blackhorse Regiment will have a better understanding of the 11th ACR's history and truly appreciate the multiple mission accomplishments during the last century.

After my tour in Thailand (Nov 68 - Nov 69), I was with the 3rd ACR in Ft. Lewis, Wn. One of my friends was Harry Seese, from Harrisburg, PA. Harry was in Black Horse, on a bridge tank, and I recall that George Patton, JR was his Regimental Commanding Officer.

To my brothers in arms, with the 11th ACR, both past and present, let me just say "hi," and that you will always be remembered. I served proudly with the Blackhorse during 11/90 to 3/94 (MED TROOP CS) and I watched tearfully as our colors were folded, and the doors to Downs Barracks (Fulda, Germany) were forever closed. "ANY HOUR THAT DUTY CALLS TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY FREE, WITH A THUNDEROUS ROAR WE'LL RIDE AGAIN, 11TH CAVALRY"!

You remember what the motto was? If you ain't cav...you ain't ____! Well brothers, we apparently been there, done the job needed of us, and rose above it all. Those years spent in the unit, will always be one of the most fondest memories that I could possibly have. To those of you I served with, let's plan on meeting for a drink at the GREENGOOSE (I still have my membership card). Email me, and let me know that all of my brothers are doing good. ALLONS...ALLONS...THE PRIDE OF THE CAVALRY...THE BEST DAMN REGIMENT THAT YOU WILL EVER SEE!

I was stationed at a place called Gia Ray w/94th Engr.Det.(Quarry) for most of 1967. You guys were there to pull security and I never said thanks to any of you guys at the time. After my return to "the world" and some soul searching I felt ashamed and vowed to take every opportunity to thank any and all "Blackhorsemen" for watching over me and my friends.

Just surfing and found the web site. I served at Blackhorse Basecamp from 4/68-1/69. I was with C/44th Signal Company/39th Signal Batallion. We furnished telephone/teletype communication to the baseccamp via a radio network operated by our unit and other units of the 39th Signal Battalion. Colonel George S. Patton was the commanding officer of the 11th armored cavalry regiment during much of my time there. Remember the road to Xuan Loc?

Knew Sgt. Schumacher (kia 6-19-67) from Ft.Meade, MD. Always wanted me to join his squad. Not a grunt, but a cannoncocker. I was wounded that same night, but did not find out he was KIA until '88 when I joined 11thacvvc (LM#404). I still miss Wayne.
