I'm looking for anyone who served with my brother Forrest Paul Hicks. He was a medic with the 1st Cav from August 1967 to June 1968. He was assigned to Headquarters Company 2nd Battalion 12th Cavalry. He received the Silver Star for his actions during the mission in the Que Son Valley 7 January 1968. He is losing his battle with cancer and I expect he will not make it through the weekend. Anyway, he would never talk about his tour in Viet Nam and suddenly it is important to me to find out more.

Hello All
I need any strong input concerning connection agent orange and multiple myeloma.
I have been diagnosed with it. I'm in stage 3-b and going through chemo at this
point and time. They are also giving me a push injection of bone builder once
month.
I haven't got hold of the VA yet, I think I need some "on
hand" or "been there, done that" input if possible. We were in LZ Grant area,
Tay Ninh, Phouc Vinh, Phouc Long provinces, if I remember right.

Eddie and I entered service together 6 October 1966. We did Basic at Fort Ord California and AIT at Fort Polk Louisiana (Tiger Land). Upon Graduation we both received orders for Vietnam. He was assigned to the 1st Cav., I was assigned to a MACV Security Platoon in II Corps, Kontum Province. As good fortune would have it, we had a chance encounter a few months after being deployed. Eddie’s unit was in my area, and he and the rest of the guys were actually able to spend a couple of days with us before his unit moved on. Eddie was from Astoria, New York.
I’ve been looking for him for many years, I have much I would like to say to him, at the very least, I would dearly like to see him at least one more time. If there is any way you or any one else can help me in this regard, I would be most grateful.

I served with the 1st Cav, D Co, 2/12th from June thru October 1967. On the 26th of October I was wounded near Chu Lai shortly after Melvin was wounded with another trooper (name unknown). Melvin later passed away from his wounds, and I had to identify Melvin’s body. Is there anybody that served with him in the Cav, or knew him before he enter the army?

Through the internet I've found he was a Silver Star recipient. From the date and location of his death it seems he might have been involved in the Battle of Hue. He served with Company D, 2/12th Cavalry.
I am looking for anyone who might have served with Tom and could tell me more about his time in Viet Nam. I would appreciate any emails
