Comments: Vietnam veterans of 1-22 Infantry - I am looking for stories about the actions of 1-22 Infantry from our arrival in Vietnam on 6 Aug 66 until you came home in January 1972. I have a pretty good idea what went on between August 1966 and early July 1967 since I was with the unit then but after that period, I am very hazy. Specifically, I am looking for information about a battle at Chu Moor Mountain in May 1968 to help one of our buddies (John Pastrick, A/1-22). Also, I would like to know the story about the black scarves the battalion wore, at least in 1968 and 1969. We didn't wear them when I was with the unit and I just heard about them when talking with John Pastrick. If you have any stories to tell about any of the exploits of 1-22 in Vietnam, I would love to hear them. You can send them via email at bob224@mindspring.com or you can mail them to me at PO Box 682222, Marietta, GA 30068. With your permission, I will include some of them in a future newsletter. Let me hear from you, I want to build as complete a history of our battalion as possible. Deeds not Words! Bob Babcock, president, 22nd Infantry Regiment Society. P.S. You 2-22 and 3-22 guys, keep your stories coming. You are doing a much better job than my 1-22 buddies. And, we still need more stories from all our WWII vets (and Cold War and current units).

I am sure that I have forgotten a location or two, what with eagle flights everyday or convoys or riding with a mech unit, I've kind of lost track. My life has had its ups and downs since then, but compared with Vietnam it's been gravy. I hope I can catch up with some of the old gang.

Comments: I served with the 2/22nd from basic training at Fort Lewis (12/65) until I was infused into the 9th med (5/67?), in Vietnam. I seen the pictures taken by Ron Picardi. There was a guy we called "Pic" (That was what he wore on his name tag) who was assigned to my platoon from 3rd bde photography. I was a medic attached to A co. Is this the same Pic? I also saw the news artical (undated) about finding the vietcong radio. I was with a squad of A. 2/22 when we found a supply cache and radio around Tet in 1967. If this is the same incident, it doesn't mention that we also found some "mighty fine wine" bottled in Hanoi. I thought we turned most of it in. Some friends and I shared a bottle. I'm glad we did. A couple of them were killed the next day. Does anyone know Rich Farrell or remember Bill Lambert. They were also medics. I wish I could remember more names.

"The troops were issued gray campaign hats and waterproof pith helmets - with a hood attached that covered the back of the neck and shoulders. Each man received a pair of heavy campaign trousers - two pairs of army boots and leggings - two blue woolen shirts - and a pair of gauntlet-type buckskin gloves." On January 31st, the Regiment arrived in San Francisco and boarded the steamers 'Senator' and 'Ohio' - destination the Philippines to once again go into combat.

Comments: To all former and current veterans of 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment - today is our special day of the year. It is 1-22, or some people call it January 22. Great day to reflect back on your service with 1-22 Infantry and a great day to contact some of your old buddies that you have not talked to in years. Enjoy your day - it only comes once a year. I'll always remember my days with B/1-22 in 1965-1967. Deeds not Words!

Comments: I was drafted in 1968. Did basic at Fort Ord, CA. Went to Fort Knox, Ky for AIT. Somehow, I became knowledgeable to be selected a candidate for NCOIC ("shake & bake") school at Fort Knox for armor. I graduated as an E-5. Received orders for OJT at Fort Hood, Tx. After a few months in Texas, I got orders for Nam. I landed in Camrahn Bay in August 1969. Did the two weeks in-country training and transfered to Cu Chi. ThereI was convoyed to FS Woods III as a scout squad leader for HHC, 2/22, Recon. After six months, I volunteered(normally you NEVER volunteer for anything in the Army) for the HHC, 2/22, Flame Platoon. Our favorite song was "Fire" by Arther Brown.On July 21, 1970, I ETS in Oakland, CA, to be released to the real WORLD. What a change it was and when I was pissed off with someone...I didn't have my weapon. Lucky for that person. But, I've adjusted a few months later and all's well.

Comments: 54 years ago - December 3, 1944 - the 22nd Infantry Regiment completed their 18 day battle in the Hurtgen Forest and were relieved by the 83rd Infantry Division. COL (Ret) Earl "Lum" Edwards, Regimental Operations officer, wrote the following in the afterword of Rob Rush's book, "Paschendale with Tree Bursts" - "As memories flood back to me of this bloody stretch of combat in WWII, I am filled with pride as well as sadness. There is pride in the way the officers and men of the 22nd Infantry performed their duties in one of the most confusing and difficult battles of my experience. I do not remember another time or place that gave us a greater challenge to our courage and combat proficiency. The deep, dark, foreboding forest; the cold, grim, wintry weather and the rugged nature of the terrain all combined to make every task doubly difficult. Poor visibility as well as the impassable road net made supply, fire support and evacuation of the wounded a nightmare. All of these things gave a great advantage to the defender. There is sadness in the way so many heroic soldiers died under such horrible conditions and sadness, too, in the fact that this wasn't some great and exhilarating victory destined for a full page in the history books. It was just another small part in the jigsaw puzzle that had to be put in place to complete the picture - just another brushmark in the bloody tapestry of war. I believe that 'Paschendale with Tree Bursts' says it all. The author properly points out that while a steady stream of replacements kept the numbers up, the erosion in the ranks of experienced leaders, commissioned as well as non-commissioned, led gradually to the virtual destruction of a great Regiment. I had been with the Regiment since 1940 and knew just about everyone. I remember standing on the side of the road going into the Hurtgen Forest and being waved at by soldiers from every truck. When we left the Hurtgen, I again stood on the side of the road; but this time there were not as many trucks and very few soldiers waving. Everyone else was a casualty. I still flinch at the memory of those young kids being led up the dark roads at night to their units, many being killed or wounded on the way. Those that made it up, we put in a foxhole and whispered where their squad mates in other foxholes were and not to move from their holes until morning. They had no time to learn who their squad members or squad leaders were before being put into the crucible of combat. The author also brings up the question of the huge price paid for such a modest gain. I could not then, nor can I now answer that question. I can only hope that it was necessary when I remember all those, known and unknown, that did not come home with us as a result of this tragic episode." ..... Deeds not Words! Let us never forget our Regiment's bloodiest battle - the Hurtgen Forest in 1944.....

We must never forget the sacrifices made by PFC Garcia and all the other men of the 22nd Infantry Regiment who fought through the sixteen days of hell in the Hurtgen Forest - the bloodiest battle of our history. Look at the Medal of Honor tab on our home page to read the Medal of Honor citation about Macario Garcia. MG John Ruggles told me that President Truman, when he was putting the Medal of Honor around Garcia's neck after the war, said, "I would rather earn this than be President." Macario Garcia was truly a man of "Deeds not Words".

Comments: Looking for anyone who remembers PFC Russell H. Cornish 2-22Inf. Don't know company. KIA Tay Ninh 12AP68. He was only in the field a few days before he was killed. He was an "old" guy, about 25, great sense of humor. He was from Maplewood, NJ, and my best friend for many years in civilian life. He enlisted and went to Nam to 'see what it was all about' because I had done two tours there ('65-'67). Since he was there such a short time, I don't expect to find anybody who remembers him, but I do hope to find someone who might remember what went down that day. I operated in western III Corps for 19 months with ASA, and know the area pretty well. If anyone can steer me toward After Action Reports, Staff Duty Logs, Lessons Learned, or whatever concerning your actions on that date, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I've been living with this a long time.

Overcoming German resistance and miserable weather, the Regiment attacked relentlessly through the Hurtgen Forest against the dug in German positions and overcame the fierce artillery that burst in the trees above them. Casualties in the line companies averaged over 250% but the men continued the attack and broke through the Hurtgen Forest and claimed their objective. Macario Garcia, B/1-22 earned the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Hurtgen. We salute those who fought that battle. I encourage each of you to reflect on those who suffered life changing wounds or were killed during this battle. We will be forever indebted to you. Deeds not Words!

Comments: I served from june '90 until Dec.'95. I was a sixty gunner with the A Co. 3rd Plt 4th Bn. I don't consider myself worthy to even be signing this guestbook filled with the names of so many heroes. But I'm proud of serving in this regiment and no one can take that away from me.

Comments: Veteran's Day - the most significant day of the year for those who have served to preserve our American way of life since the beginning of our great nation. Take time today to reflect on the great debt we owe to those who, over the years, have served to preserve our freedom and democracy - and are still serving today. Be sure to thank a vet - and yourself - today. Deeds not Words!

Comments: Today, November 7, is the 90th birthday of our Honorary Regimental Colonel, MG (Ret) John Ruggles. Born in Vermont, MG Ruggles graduated from West Point in 1931. He landed on D-Day as Executive Officer of the 22nd Infantry Regiment and stayed in that position until he took over command of the Regiment on March 1, 1945. He remained in command of the Regiment until it was temporarily deactivated in 1946 at Camp Butner, NC. His final job before retiring from the Army was as CG of the 1st Infantry Division, the same unit he had first joined as a young LT in 1931. If you would like to pass on birthday congratulations to MG Ruggles on this significant day in his life, please send an e-mail to Gary Krek, our web administrator (hhc222mi@inficad.com) and he will insure it gets to MG Ruggles at the dinner meeting of the Arizona chapter of the National 4th Infantry Division Assn on next Saturday, November 14. Deeds not Words!

Comments: 32 years ago - November 1, 1966 - the 22nd Infantry Regiment started the first of many large operations against the North Vietnamese as the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment started Operation Paul Revere IV in the jungles of the central highlands along the Cambodian border. Over the next five years, the 22nd Infantry Regiment distinguished itself as men of "Deeds not Words" as they effectively served our country both in the central highlands and in the area around Cu Chi and Dau Tieng. If you served either as a member of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, or served in support of the 22nd Infantry Regiment in Vietnam, we would like to hear from you and have you join our Society.
