Hi all. I'd like to extend an invitation to all crew and support units of the Air Cav Troop in Vietnam to join us on a 11thcavaviation website that we have up and running and will be adding images/info/stories, etc to help build a history of the ACT in RVN. It is pretty bare bones right now but we will soon be adding to it. We are also (depending on interest) wanting to hold a mini-reunion in Shreveport, La. this summer in late July or early Aug. to gather as much info as possible (and also to have a great time on a River Boat Casino) Join us on the website and let us know what you think. If you have images that you would like to see on the site let me know and I will add those to our historical record. Allons!

Hello,
My name is Melinda Sprague. My father is Samuel "Rick" Fredrick Sprague and he was a member of this website until his passing in August of 2004. I've been doing some research about his time in the Army and came across many letters sent from Vietnam to my father in Oregon. These letters are very hard to decipher as the penmanship is not the best. This is the information I have:
My father was inducted into the Army on June 19th, 1968 and was honorably discharged in April 1970.
The return address on the letter is: (may not be all the way correct as the writing is really sloppy)
SP/4/M. Barber
054-42-9071
K-3/11ARC
APOSF96257
Also included in the letter is a home address which reads:
Mike Barber
RD #1 Pine Hill
Randolph N.Y. 14772
This letter was sent August 30th, 1970.
I've been having a hard time with all of his military paperwork, as I don't know much about it and some of the wording is confusing. I remember him talking about this man frequently and he is also in pictures with my father. I have gone through independent resources to track him down and will continue to do so. Is there any way that if this man is a member you could pass this message along with my information please? If you know of any other resources I might be able to use to find this man, any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you know what the numbers and letters in the return address are/stand for I would like to know that as well.
Thank you for your time,
Melinda Sprague
