| 20. Were you with the 101st too? |

iirc, you enlisted about 7-8 years after I got out. By that time, the 101st probably didn't have the 501st Infantry battalions any more, as they were deactivated after VN. They've since been reactivated for WOT, but they're now part of another division.
It was kind of funny running into post-VN Screaming Eagle troops. When you'd tell them you were with 2/501 they'd say, "Oh, you were signal?" because the 501st Signal Bn. is the only unit in the 101st now with the 501 designation. But, in Vietnam, the 101st still had two 501 Infantry battalions...1/501 and 2/501.  :patriot: |
