As I was writing some memories and biography for John McCoy and the Bravo Black Lion web site it hit me that there may a need for a place of us Black Lion Vets, or anyone for that matter, to have a meeting place. This blog is open to discussion of all types. John is doing a great job with the web site but this will give us a place, maybe to vent some feelings that we have been holding back for a long time. I know that it's been 40 years for me, and until April '07 and finding John, Fred Hill, Dale Cary and Ron Moreno I had really bottled things up. My family now tells me how closed mouth I was, and how they believe it has made me feel better.
Enough about me for now, so fellows feel free to open up a little tell us about you and your thoughts. I will send a link to this Blog to several of you and please pass it on to anyone that might be interested. There are a few thing to bring up a little later that still bother me and maybe some of you will have some answers.
Maybe John can link it on the website.
Until Later

I don't see any of the guys that died on 17-June-1967? It was operation Billings?
There were 11 guys caught in an ambush... If you go out to Google and key in June 17-1967 Billings you'l will see the information.
