GARRY OWEN, Sir.

...25 years ago I was informed by Family that I am a direct desendant, on my South Dakota Mother's side, of a 7th Cavalry Survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, meaning he must have been like in Reno's Company outside the Killing Zone.

...And then there was the 7th Cavalry's 2nd Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1965.

How GOD does seem to work His Miracles in come very Loving Ways..?

What's up

[VOA]

(posted picture of Joe Galloway lovingly cradling a submachinegun...)..

Now there's a picture of what every AMERICAN combat reporter should carry
beside pencil, paper and camera!

(even if most correspondents would need training in order to not shot themselves
or their attached squad!)

[VOA]

...any idea what sub machinegun model that is that Galloway is holding?

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Well I'm confused!

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks Phil!

[snippy_about_it]

The sky????

[SAMWolf]

Especially on John Wayne, Sam Elliott or Robert Duvall

[Sparta]

Nevermind. Nice to see you again snippy.

Swedish K

The Swedish K, 9mm submachine gun. It is also called the Carl Gustaf model 45. It is a very fine blowback operated full automatic submachine gun with a 36 round detachable box magazine. The stock folds to the side reducing the overall length from 31.8 inches down to 19.8 inches. The Swedish K fires from the open bolt position and has an effective range of approx 100 meters. It weighs 9.25 pounds with a fully loaded magazine and fires the standard 9mm parabellum bullet at a cyclic rate of 600 RPM. At the time of the Vietnam War, this weapon was the standard submachine gun in the Swedish Army.

We had to play recover some graphics and the only way to accomplish it was to repost the thread.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. I was just funnin' with ya. I see SAM explained. I tried to explain in my ping list post. It's been a long night.

Good to see you again too. ;)

Moore and Plumley were both as good any anyone could ask for. After seeing the movie something went off in the back of my head and I have spent considerable time in the last six to eight months studying the battle. I wil have something to say on this at another time and another place.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Bumpity, bump, bump, bump!

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...T'was truly unforgettable carrying Radio in Vietnam for the MOORE-PLUMLEY Freedom-Fighting Team in 1965.

...Nothing like it on the Face of this Earth.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks AC! It is a great thread!

[RLK]

Up to a couple years ago Plumley was still being brought in to address graduating officer classes. Is he still around and doing it?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the heads up!

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...After I came back from Vietnam in 1966 I immediately went to work, and continued till 1997, for Matson Navigation Company which is the main Steamship Carrier of Container Freight, Autos and at the time Luxury Liner passengers to Hawaii ...thus my .."ALOHA RONNIE"..!!

...Since this also included shipping Autos of Military Familes to Hawaii whose spouses were heading to War over the decades (Some were Multiple Repeats!!!) ...I was blessed to be able to keep tabs thru them on what MOOORE & PLUMLEY were still doing for our country's Protectors.


See: http://www.Matson.com


...PLUMLEY was at our Ft. Benning Pre-Screening of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. in February 2002 and at its Los Angeles Premiere in March, looking really fine.

...PLUMLEY doesn't attend our Annual IA DRANG Alumni Conference in Washington, D.C. any longer, but I believe he still does lecture our Military Personnel about the Battle of IA DRANG-1965, on occasion, as does Gen. MOORE.

...PLUMLEY =
