My dad, CPT Ronald Berry, was a LOH pilot for the 11th ACR from Jan 70 – Jan 71. If you remember him and have any stories/photos, I sure would love to see them. Allons and welcome home to all of you and RIP to all who have gone to Fiddler’s Green, including my dad. I miss him every single day.

My cousin Bobby Belinda was in the 11th Black Horse Air Cavalry Regiment from 1967 to 1968. He was 18 years old. Unfortunately he passed away earlier this year. I have a photo of him at 18 years old sitting on his helicopter next to a huge gun. I wonder how I’d go about learning more about his service?
