| Association Historian's Corner |
This Association began in the minds of
hundreds of veterans who, over countless
years had yearned for news of their brothers.
They relived the myriad of exploits from their
armchairs, while day-dreaming at work,
puttering around the house and, yes, avoiding
all those intrusive questions, about their
service, from family and friends. Assimilation
occurs in the mind; for many, reality exists
now AND a lifetime ago. Dreams return and
life goes on; for life is still vibrant and
precious; it courses through our veins as the
cascade of a waterfall.; It is to be cherished.
Sherman "Snore" Breeden established the
first official website for former members of
15th Medical Battalion, First Calvary Division.
Sherman, a very altruistic individual set about
to find and meet with his old comrades. With
the help of many others, he expanded his
website, helped to extend the search for
former members of the unit and served as a
guidepost for the rest of us. More about this
pioneer, and others, later.
We recognize those of 15th Med Bn, Home of
Medevac.; We remember those brave souls
who lived and died at the whim of fate. We
continue the search for our brothers-in-battle;
those misplaced, lost, or, simply looking for a
Landing Zone. Our members have continued
to be productive human beings, but more
than this, the best of friends. It was through
these friendships we were able to locate
enough people to establish our at Suffolk, VA
in 1998.
These individiuals worked very hard to ensure
that our association would be formed, that
personnel would be found and invited to
participate in our annual reunions and that
our cherished, and collective, memories
would be preserved.
