Peace to all, I know how difficult it is for some families who have service men and women in harms way. I pray that Gods Will be Done and may they have consolation in knowing that we fully support their fight in a just cause. Again I want to thank those RANGERS who supported me in making it possible for me to attend the last re-union and also with the support of my son's RANGER school Graduation. My life is so much better because of my brothers you know who you are. God Bless America Happy Holidays.

I served in support of the 75th Rangers both 1st and 3th Bn. While assigned with the 82nd Airborne Div from 79 to 81. There is no other units that display heart and soul like the 82nd and the Rangers. I only wish, I could have been assigned directly to a Ranger Unit but some things just were not in the plans. I finish Ranger school in 1976 and never look back so continue to lead the way and always stay out front.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Ranger brothers and their families,..I wanted to put that out with the holidays upon us buo cuo fast. Linkup with a former 3rd Bat Ranger Ryan Primero in Atlanta, GA last year (Afgan & Iraqi combat vet) and later he went on the private sector and just got back from a EP contract in Iraq. Still remember those holidays away from home, remember those rangers in your prayers doing their thing as we did during our time. Different names,different time period but the same rangers wrap in poncho liners giving "our" chance to be with our families during holiday season,..God bless them all and keep them!

1st/75th B Co, 2nd Platoon 1978-81 In the days when we were the 1st RIP class at Sabre Hall, during the rule if CSM Morrel and LTC Stringham. I ran with Gardner and 1st Sgt Grenier when we were privates........ we called Grenier "OZZY" I was the RTO for a long friggin time. It blew my knees out but I showed up for PT with dual metal knee braces for the cherries to look at in the end. I had my share of trouble but back then they kept you if you were good. I hated leg land and the 2 by 4. They sent me to SCUBA School as a PFC. Told me not to come back if I did not graduate.......Drop me a line

Hey Guess What, I just got home from Montana!! I have a friend that was moving back to Montana from my neighborhood. She had to get her 3 kids, everything in her house and 2 vehicals moved by herself. Her husband is a truckdriver and was sent back east on a run. So she asked me if I would drive the U-haul towing her car on a trailer for her. I told her only if there was room for my Harley in the U-haul. Well it all worked out. It took us 2 1/2 days to get there. We got to Ryegate, Montana at midnight on October 14th and I was on my way back home at noon on the 15th. I road 863 miles in 2 days!!(hooahh) Its was GREAT. I road my scooter over the Continentel Devide YAAA. I did it Bouncer... No helment and No worries. I finally got to take that long putt that we never got to do together. Well we were together all the way Baby... No matter what happens in your life don't ever let your dreams die... Love You All Valerie Morey

I served in C/2/75 Aug 75-Feb 79. I'm looking for any information on a guy named Jim Williams there at the same time. I recognize a few names here and have taken down some email addresses to respond. I'm currently the Company SGM for C/3/20 Special Forces, Florida National Guard. Don't be fooled about us weekend warriors, we finished a successful eight month rotation in Afghanistan in Jun 04. CPL Tillman was killed in a valley that I was on patrol in about three weeks prior to his death. Mike Robardey, Bill Portis was my Squad leader and Steve Matoon was my PSG back in the day. SFC Yates, I shared a room with Harold(Weird Harold) Roberts as an NCO. Don't forget MAJ Rogers Standing Orders, they all still apply.

HOOAH !!! Hey you all have a son who served with the 82nd in afganistan and Iraq and today finished up the Dahlonega phase at Ranger school, If all goes well and there are no injuries or something drastic happens he will graduate on Nov 5 class 11-04 every-one knows where I invited An old friend Rudy Teodiosio too attend as well as Robert Hendricson and every -one knows "HOG" Brown he was a platoon sergeant in N- Company back in the old days it would be great to have as many old N-company men there some of whom I haven't seen in over 30 years it would be like a mini-reunion, just attended my first one at washington in aug. So Rudy if you can get away from making babies and the rest of you from grilling steaks out on the back yard give me a line. thanks to all who served and a special prayer to those presently serving if any have a special prayer request send me an e-mail my wife and I get on our knees every night in prayer--God Speed RTL Bobby Cantu inf75@hotmail.com

When you are young and stupid, you can make mistakes like i.e.terminating your status because chain of comm. says you can't deploy because you don't have enough drawers to load in your D-Bag. Nor do you find out until too blessed late that E-2's can get a signature loan at Main Post for $400.00.I offered to borrow money from a leader and sign in blood,too! NoGo. Got mad (19yrs.old what do you expect)and terminated my status.I decided they didn't need me as bad as they said if I get to deploy but with a bunch of whiners who caved minute 1 of day 1.So I could help with pots & pans.WRONGO BONGO,bud.I served 6yrs. I would & may very well serve again.I learned a lot in a very short time at Battalion.If you lie down with dogs you get fleas.For the most part fleas are extinct at Battalion/Regiment.And I credit the training for having saved my life in places you can only pronounce if you Se Habla Espanol.I pray that every swingin'Richard still gets "CRUSHED"or "SMOKED"and hand to hand ,close quarters fighting is still taught.I miss being around squared away individuals;Squared Away,that's the main thing I learned as a Ranger.

I had the pleasure of attending my first 75th Ranger Regiment Association reunion this past August in Fife, Washington. I was so impressed I've become a life member of the 75th RRA and will look forward to attending future reunions wherever they are held. It was also neat getting back to the Ft. Lewis/Tacoma area for the first time since PCS'ing for OCS in October 1974 from the deactivating B/75. And I will always treasure being part of the activation ceremony of 2/75 on October 1, 1974.

Nice site for a gathering of LRRP/Rangers. I do take offense at the terrible things written by Gary Linder. In "Eye of the Eagle he was very insulting to others. I served earlier than written, with this unit, and He was out of line. I realize he felt his unit was the "shit". There were no units who could have worked that sloppy, and stupid!!!!!!!
