I have been in contact with LtCol Craig Wonson the current battalion commander of 1st Battalion 1st Marines. They have launched a Facebook page for the unit at:
Facebook page for: 1st Battalion 1st Marines
The Facebook page shows both current activities and training as well as the history of 1/1. You might even see a photo from our web site.The unit is currently in the high country of the Sierra Nevadas involved in mountain warfare training. Have a look.

The flag is flying and its time to remember our fallen heros. I will be tipping a cold one to those we lost so many years ago.

The forum on this web site has had me locked out for the past couple months. I now have the support software I need to better manage the forum, if I can make it work. Sorry for the inconvience. I may have won one in the battle of man against computer.

For the last month to six weeks I have had computer problems. I seem to have everything back to normal, what ever that is. However I am behind in making updates to the web site. I should be able to get caught up in the next week or so. Thanks for your understanding.

In the last few months I have received requests for information on guys that have served with Alpha 1/1. The best suggestion I could make was to have them put their request on the discussion forum and maybe someone can help. While you are here have a look at the forum.
This site is by, for and about the Marines of Alpha company 1/1 during its stay in RVN. To really improve this account of our company requires input from as many of you as possible. If you have a picture, or more, that you would like to share send it along. If you have tales from your time in country that would also be appreciated. Feel free to contact me with corrections of any of the names or dates, or fill in missing information.
With the help of Robert Jackson we have a fairly complete list of KIAs from Alpha Company. Choose the Tributes link. This list is available in spreadsheet format if you are interested.
If you are a combat vet and haven't contacted the VA for an Agent Orange screening follow this link to find your nearest VA hospital. You may qualify for benefits you weren't aware of.
For information on past or upcoming reunions use the link to the 1/1 web site on the left, and be sure to sign the Guestbook while you are there.
