Our hope is to reunite the men who served together in Vietnam in the Recon Platoon of Echo Company - 1/5 Cavalry from its inception in 1968 through  mid-1969. We sponsor an annual reunion in late summer/early fall so the men of our unit, and their wives (or significant others), can meet in comradeship and friendship... and to enjoy each others company in a pleasant and comfortable location. Additionally, we hope this web site will become a vehicle to help our comrades stay in touch with one another, as well as a tool to find other members of our unit. As the site continues to evolve , we expect our mission and goals will expand accordingly.

     *******************************************
