2/94th t-shirt link
Thanks to graphics expertise of Squire Knowles (Superman while I was there) we had a really neat 2/94th tee shirt at the 2012 reunion.
You can see that front and back at:

You can order those online in the size you need at:
http://www.bigfrogsnellville.com/
Their phone number at Big Frog is:

I would think since they now have the graphics in house if you wanted a sweatshirt instead that can also be arranged or if you wanted a different color t-shirt over the phone or e-mail.

New Challenge Coins for the 2/94th Artillery
Links for coin .pdf and who to contact is located at:
The surprise I
was talking about for those that would be attending in 2011 was a 2/94th
Challenge Coin that was designed and production overseen by Bill Jones with
the help of Jim Lary and others. That Challenge Coin is pictured at:

For those that might like to purchase one please contact Bill Jones at:
aldercr@gmail.com
I believe the cost is $15.00 plus shipping but contact Bill for the details. I believe he still had some of these on hand.
There is also a silver .pdf available on that same link.

The Artillery Unit the Enemy Soldier Learned to Hate
"ARTILLERY LENDS SOME DIGNITY TO AN OTHERWISE UGLY BRAWL"
175MM GUNS lend "a whole bunch" of "dignity"
Come and visit with my Battalion
All of them Kelley's hero's
FROM 1966 to 1972 the 2/94TH Big Guns WERE THE LINCHPIN of the DMZ.
FOR THE ENEMY SOLDIER; THERE WAS NO PLACE TO RUN from the
'THE rain of steel'.
THE OLD B20 GUN NICKNAMED
"BODACIOUS BASTARD"
Where Did We, in our war, Get the Boys that in an 'instant in time'
became not only men
but
valorous and honorable warriors and the pride of many nations.
many of these honorable warriors only to be cut down later in life by the treachery and lies of our "less than honorable" politicians, presidents, and our own governments.
Where indeed, did we get such men?
When the truth is really known about these treacherous politicians, presidents, and governments; including the "Department of Veterans affairs" that have allowed hundreds of thousands of these men to die or become disabled by direct actions or inactions.
will they still be able to get men such as these?
That is the real question the citizens of these nations should be asking themselves along with where did our nation get these men that would stand by and not only let it happen but direct that it did happen.

to 12th Marine Regiment Artillery
Upon arriving in Vietnam in 1966 the 2/94th was assigned to the 3rd Marine Amphibious Force. The 2/94th minus A Battery was attached to the 3rd Marine Division and then further OPCON to the 12th Marine Artillery Regiment which had just become the Division Arty for the Third Marines along the DMZ. A Battery for approx 9 months was attached and shot for the 1st Marine Division and would later rejoin the Battalion on the DMZ supporting the 3rd Marine Division.

"Hammer
the American hard enough and
you
forge the best weapon in the world."
Captain Simeon Ecuyer quote in a letter written to Colonel Bouquet
during the siege of Fort Pitt
God and the Soldier we both adore
In times of danger and not before.
The danger passed and all things righted,
God is forgotten and the Soldier slighted.
It will probably always be true. We can only support so much decadence before the whole thing rots from within. At least we have each other.
Captain Greg Smith
Iraqi Freedom
Martin Savidge of CNN, embedded with the 1st Marine Battalion, was talking with 4 young Marines near his foxhole this morning live on CNN. He had been telling the story of how well the Marines had been looking out for and taking care of him since the war started.
He
went on to tell about the many hardships the Marines had endured since the war
began and how they all look after one another. He turned to the four and said
he had cleared it with
their commanders and they could use his video phone to call home.
The 19 year old Marine next to him asked Martin if he
would allow his platoon sergeant to use his call to call his pregnant wife
back home whom he had not been able to talk to in 3 months. A stunned
Savidge who was visibly moved by the request shook his head and the young
Marine ran off to get the sergeant.
Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the 3 young Marines
still sitting with him and asked which one of them would like to call home
first, the Marine closest to him responded with out a moments hesitation said,
"Sir, if is all the same to you we would like to call
the parents of a
buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, Florida who was killed on
3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they are doing...".
At that Martin Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak.
All he could get out before signing off was:
"Where do they get young men like this ?".
