A 2014 entry in our Guestbook from Gary:

I am Gary Fowler I was with Alpha Raiders from March 1970 to May 1, 1970. My last day with Alpha was the morning after Henderson. I survived the night assault only to be wounded by an incoming mortar that morning. I was a Medic with second platoon. Several weeks later when I returned to duty I was sent with Recon for about a month. I finished my tour in the field with Delta Company. I have written a lot of stuff about my experiences as a Medic. I am considering writing a e-book and have it available to be read for free. Years ago Keith Noland contacted Delta Raiders about a book he was writing called Ripcord. I was able to share with him some of what I had written about Hill 805. However only after reading his book did I realize the connection Ripcord had to all that we were doing.

Are there any books out there about Alpha Raiders, Granite or Henderson? I have read a lot of stories written by veterans but seem to find no books. I am sixty-five now and you know what happens to you memory as you get older. That’s why I have written as much as I have, so I don’t forget the 11’Bs that I had the pleasure to serve. I remember pretty much everything from the perspective of a Medic not as an 11B, that’s how I write. If I do this it has to be right, I do not wish to offend any 11B by misrepresenting my bad memory.

Is it possible that I could get an email address for General James E Mitchell?
