Looking for 82nd MPs (updated comment)

Filed under: All Messages, Looking For, Taps — Ron Yorkovich @ 12:00 am

Was with the 82 MPs in Phu Loi,Vietnam. I have a company picture and several other pics.  Would love to hear from anyone who knew me or was in the company in 1969.  Have been trying to make contact for years.  I have some names and states, but can’t get any farther. If anyone is out there, and is interested, please let me know.  Thanks

I was in Co. D 1/505th too! I was there from June ‘69 until Vietnamization in November, when I was sent to the 25th Division.

I remember Raider and how sharp he was – - – the blue towel, the sunglasses. He really had it all together! Do you remember his sucessor, “Jumper”?

My Platoon Leader was “Thunderball”, and my squad leader was Sgt. Daniel Coruthers.

I got a call from CSM (Ret) Michael Lynn on Friday that Jake Privette passed away about 6 months ago,  Lynn was the Bn SGM under Jake in the 2/505.  They both lived in Columbia, SC. Jake was a special person and led the BN 2 times in Vietnam. We are very fortunate to have had such wonderful leaders and I sincerely do miss Col John Jameson. He was  a dear friend.

See you in Dallas – things are heating up.
