Welcome to the Web site for India Company. This is a
start up effort and we'll be adding material as we acquire it. The main intent is to
help us to find each other and, once found, to stay in touch. That and remembering
some of the most important times of our lives, remembering and honoring our fallen
friends, is all that really counts.
What you'll find here to start with is a roster
of India Company folks and their email addresses. Click on any underlined link to
jump to that section. We'll be adding biographies of our members as they are
provided. We also have a Database of names, including
those already on the roster page but also many more of people who are not online.
You will also find a number of pictures
from our contributors. Formal boot camp pictures, folks then and now, many pictures
of people and places in Vietnam. We will always be looking for more so if you have
some that you think will tell a story, please submit them for consideration.
In the remembrance section you will find the citations for
Richard Pittman's Medal of Honor and the four Navy
Cross citations for members of India Company.
You will find portions of newsletters
from 1996, published prior to the DC reunion. Stories include John Olsen's memory of
the five days of Operation Hastings and Lt. Williams' letter to his wife, recalling that
operation.
Finally, please visit our Wall, where
we honor our fallen friends. There are many more to find and it will be an ongoing
process but we are determined that all of our company's fallen will be here, where they
belong. Semper Fi Marines!
As stated previously, we will be adding material to this page,
stories, memorials, more pictures and we're always looking for new members. Should
you have something you'd like to submit, or would like to be included on the roster,
please contact the new ncoic of this effort,
Jerry Bain. (With many thanks to Curtis Eidson for the past two plus years
of his guidance...he's devoting all his time to our reunion efforts). For web page feedback please contact the webmaster.
Fore easier navigation you may want to visit the Table
of Contents page, which is automatically updated when new pages are added.
Before you leave please sign our guestbook, below, with
comments or suggestions. Thank you and Semper Fi!
