Intro..

Post by wparkinson4 »

Hello all My name is Edwin Parkinson ( Wynn) I was with A Co 3/75 back in 93. As much as I hate to admit I didn't stay very long. I left just before the action in Somalia. I met some great guys while I was there and hope I may be able to reconnect with some of them here. I was in third platoon and my Platoon Sgt. when I got there was SFC. Pickering. My squad leader was SSG Hines. My roommate was PFC Baker. Funny thing is that I can't remember my Platoon Leader name... I don't think I ever talked to him.

I look forward to spending some time here...

A special thanks too the operators of this site for allowing us to come here and visit.

Ahh, yes, we PLT LDRs always seemed to have made such little impressions...A lot of my Nam guys simply knew me as "28" or "The LT" but did not remember my name...AND today they love me as I love them!!
