"THE MIGHTY NINTH"
2D
BATTALION, 9TH ARTILLERY
The Republic of Vietnam
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE |
WEBMASTER'S FAREWELL:
********************************************
For the past 19 years, I
have been privileged to gather your experiences in Vietnam, chronicle your War
Stories,
post your photos, honor our KIAs who did not return home, and most of all, to
place in legacy the heroic actions of our Cannoneers, Section Chiefs, FO
Parties, Fire Direction Center personnel, and the Battery Officers.
The number of names on "The Wall" would be doubled without our 105mm
howitzers. The men of the 35th and 14th Infantry Regiments know well the job
we did. They have thanked us personally many times.
I wish to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Ed Gregory, my PC Guru and Mentor, without whose assistance The Mighty Ninth website would not be online. Accordingly, my thanks to LtCol Ron Crans, whose assistance with the Coppermine Photo Gallery was invaluable.
Our Mighty Ninth Battalion left Vietnam in April of 1970. There was no welcome home, but rather the hate of a misguided public fueled by a very irresponsible news media.
My farewell is this: WELCOME HOME, BROTHER...the welcome you richly deserved, but never received.
Regards,
Dennis L. Dauphin,
Webmaster, 2005 - 2024
