We are a loose organization of veterans of the
company who want to have a central place where we can stay in touch.
The purpose of this page is to
establish a presence on the Web where all Mike Company veterans, family and friends may
read and post stories, pictures, poems and also serve to bring us closer together. To
many of us, we have had no closer friends than those we made in the 'nam. Yet, for
many, twenty-eight to thirty-three years have passed since we've seen, spoken or written
to each other. A main reason for this page is to help find our long lost
friends as well as promote reunions.
On this site you'll find a page for a roster of Mike company vets; a Regimental
History from inception in World War 1 through Vietnam; a brief description of some of
the operations that 3/5 participated in Vietnam; GySgt
Rainbow's memoirs of his time with Mike Company, also memoirs
from Mike McFerrin; a copy of the narrative
section of the official battalion chronology for April 1970; pictures
and maps from our contributors; a guestbook which we urge you
to sign; a message board, sort of a mini-forum to exchange news
and views; an H&S page and pictures
just because this page's author was an H&S vet and we're orphans; and links to our favorite sites. We used to have India company folks
here but they have their own page
now, they
deserve it! We have a Remembrance section, containing stories,
poems and memorials to our fallen comrades. Finally, we have started up our own Wall. This is an ongoing effort and requires help from all of
us to ensure that everyone who should be on it, is.
Finally we wish to thank Brad Reynolds
for all he's done towards forwarding the interests of the members of the
Company since the inception of this site. We are establishing a rotating
tour of duty, to last approximately a year, or 13 months...ring a bell?, for
volunteers to act as pointman for this effort. Starting now, June 2000, Mike
McFerrin will be the point of contact for Mike Company for communications
of any kind.
Please send comments and feedback on
this website, to the Webmaster. Thanks and SEMPER
FI!.

The search engine is a work in
progress. Many of the top pages have been added and if you type in a name,
operation or other relevant request, you'll get a list of the pages that have
your request listed. Feedback on how this works (or doesn't) would be
appreciated. Mail Ed McCurry at hebmc@aol.com
Thanks!
