MY BROTHERS







It has been 39 years since we
shared a moment in time together
In a faraway place in a land like no
other
When before the early light
Bombs went off and hell erupted on
earth
On a base called J deep in the jungle
we fought for life
I died that night in the fire fight
Only to return and live again
As the Great Spirit did oh so long ago
There were others of our kind our
brothers we left interred
Not forgotten silent in their repose
Within us an empty place that
cannot be filled grows
To you all I say with the most
profound reverence
So proud to know you all then and
now
As my brothers for life and all time
Bound by duty and honor are the
reasons for our kind
May your Easter meet you with
peace and love
As you go through this day
Take the time to remember and give
thanks we walked away
From the ashes and grief we share
On this Easter day

Regarding: Alpha 2/7 Trooper
Jon H. Seither 66/67
I recently spoke with the widow of Jon H.
Seither, who sadly advised me,  Jon died April
2008, after a year and a half long battle with
cancer. She also told me, "Jon searched for
his brother troopers from Alpha 2/7 through
the  years but had only ever found one."

I strongly feel it's very important for Mrs.
Seither to know Jon wasn’t and isn’t forgotten
by his brothers!!  We just didn’t find him just as
he didn’t find us. I hope some of his trooper
brothers will want to contact her and perhaps
even invite her to a 2010 reunion!

SGT Berlin Robert Shumate March-May 68






I am trying to locate anyone who knew or
served with my brother-in-law, SGT Berlin
Robert Shumate.  He served March - May
1968 in Vietnam. He was in A Company, 2nd
Battalion, 7th Cavalry, 1st Air Cavalry, he
died 7 May 1968 in A Shau Valley, I believe
as a part of OPERATION DELAWARE.

I wish to talk with or correspond with
anyone I can, to learn more about Robert's
service, his death, and the award of the
Silver Star he received.  We want to write a
personal history for our family members.
