JD,
I'm contacting you on behalf of my father-in-law, James Gatlin (Alpena, AR). He served in the 84th Engineers Battalion, B Company from Jan. 1970 - 1971. He is trying to receive help with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) he is suffering. He needs to find anyone he served with that can confirm certain traumatic events he went through. If you would know how we can contact people he would have served with please let me know. Those he remembers have passed away and he is having trouble remembering names to the faces. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Have a great day!

Good Afternoon, I am writing in hopes of finding out some information regarding my father-in-law, Augustus Albert Edwards Jr. He served from 9 November 1964 until 8 November 1966. His records states that he was a 51K. He was assigned to Delta Company 84th EBC from 31 January 1965 until 18 October 1965 at which point he was assigned to Delta Company 46th Engr. Bn. (Const). He was with the 46th EBC until 23 May 1966 and was then assigned to Bravo Company 589th EBC until 22 August 1966. After which he was assigned to Charlie Company 17th Eng. Bn. 2AD until 22 September 1966 at which time he was assigned to Delta Company of the same battalion until his discharge. I have a news clipping that was sent to his local newspaper from S-14 W. Sohl of the 46th Eng. Bn. Co. D. It states he volunteered with the 82nd Helicopter Squadron while in Vietnam but was attached to the 42nd Eng Bn. His 214 does not show that he was with either of these units. Neither does it have the dates that he served in Vietnam. His 214 states that he was in Vietnam for 1 year and 11 days. He was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Service Stars. If anyone could help me find information regarding my father-in-law it will be greatly appreciated. He has Alzheimer's and the family only has the information that's on his 214. The V.A. in Virginia where he now lives told my mother-in-law that they won't test him for Agent Orange because he can't tell them where he was while in Vietnam and when he was there. Thank you V/R SPC Shameka D. Edwards Edwards, Shameka D SPC MIL USA FORSCOM [shameka.edwards@us.army.mil]
