Comments: I have a military knife (Gerber) engraved as follows:
Bob Tompkins Vietnam Nov 1966-Jul 1968 1 AUSI Regiment 11 Armd Cav
It also has his social security number on it.
This knife was purchased in Afghanistan in a market by my cousin's son, and was given to me a couple of years ago. I am trying to locate Bob Tompkins.

Comments: had a problem with ordering through the quartermaster store, sent a message, but have not recieved any reply. it has been a week. the phone number listed has too many numbers, haven't been able to get any combination too work. Can anyone with the store please contact me, by phone oe email, Please.
Comments: Does anyone know where I can find a recipe for what my father-in-law called "Tankers Punch". I suspect it is some variant of the Cav's grog.
Max did two tours in Vietnam - Lieutenant Colonel - armored cavalry. In the early 70s he made a punch for our wedding that he called "Tankers Punch". what I think I remember was a crate of lemons, multiple liquors (rum etc. ?), sugar... and we let it settle for 2 days.
Any thoughts about the precise recipe?
thx

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who may have served with my uncle Captain James Calvin Stephens, he was in Troop L 3rd Squadron and was KIA in April 1967. I'm looking for stories or if anyone is willing or able to share old photographs of him, he died well before I was born but I have always wanted to learn more about him.
