  RECON/LRRP 3rd Bn/506th Infantry
101st Airborne Division
Ours was a legacy handed down from "The Band Of Brothers" of
WWII fame. We were members of E/3/506th Infantry who served in the Republic of
South Vietnam. Echo Company was reactivated in 1967 and served in combat until
1971. The men who made up our recon teams were volunteers who underwent rigorous
training before getting accepted. Our job was to go far behind enemy territory
and conduct operations. Our missions could be an area reconnaissance, enemy
surveillance, sniper mission or prisoner snatch. The information we gathered was
sent to Division and they would in turn take appropriate action. Enemy contact,
(fire fights) though rare, resulted in few friendly casualties. Survival
attributed to extensive training and a strong desire to live. Members of RECON
were easily identified by their camouflage fatigues and scroll on the left
shoulder. Through training and a strong feeling of comradeship our men developed
a family like kindridship.
Like the original "Band of Brothers" we take great pride and honor in having
served our country.
