JERRY PRIGMORE

Jerry Prigmore was part of our January 1971 Roster. He was from Phoenix, AZ. Leter documentation showed he lived in Cut & Shoot, TX.

I could not find photos of Jerry.

NOTES FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS

I requested help about Prigmore on our Facebook Group page because I could not find any info on Greg Prigmore as listed on one of our Rosters. Our address books always showed "Jerry Prigmore's wife".

Jerry Prigmore served with us in 1971. He became acting 1st Sgt March after we had hit like 5 hot LZ’s in a row which included the KIA of Winters and Wentworth. Paul can probably give you more timing and facts.
I didn’t know a Greg Prigmore.

Paul Gochnour recounted:

Jim Ivy my mind like my body are going but, I do agree with you. Jerry disliked (who didn’t) the bush and felt he could help us more in the rear…he could scrounge/trade with the best of them.

My favorite “Sgt. Prigmore” story: someone got mad at him and said. ‘You better hope we don’t get in a fire fight’ ..Prigmore took off his safety, tossed his M-16 to him and said…if you got the balls do it now! (As the platoon leader I’m thinking how will I explain my platoon sergeant being shot)…in those seconds cooler heads prevailed.
