looking for information regarding vietnam veteran

Post by PTB1008 »

My father in law, served in Vietnam. He passed away this past week, looking thru his things, my husband found some pics and a book, and was trying to find more information about it, as his dad hardly talked about his time on the army. After looking for info on the internet without success, I thought why not ask in the forum. The book he found has a cover with the following information: US Army training Center Engineer. Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Company A, 5th Battalion, 3D Regiment, 1 October 1964.
Also one of the pictures has a sign that says: A5 Blue Devils 1Plt, 3D TRB.

any information or a clue to where to look for information, would be greatly appreciated.
thank you in advance.

Try this ....http://lmgtfy.com/?q=U.+S.+Army+Trainin ... +Engineer+

Does it look like the book in the 4th link down, the one from Amazon? If so (and I imagine it does) that's a Basic Training "Year Book". I bet his picture is in there somewhere. Means he was a Combat Engineer in the '60s and did his training at Leonard Wood.

Google is your friend :mrgreen:

p.s. Don't take that the wrong way, my Smart Alek switch is pinging hard today :wink:
