Comments: Forgot to put my email, hopefully it will work this time. Please feel free to send any comments, this is a very hard time for me and my family and I would love to hear any stories to pass on to my sons. Also, if I have learned anything after losing my mom, brother and father, it's that you should record your life on tape, especially your experience in the service. We are losing more of you guys every day, we need your stories to be told.
Unit Battery B, 2nd battalion, 19th. Artillery When and where did you serve with the 1st CAV? 1968 to 1971 Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia City, State or Country that you live in now? Arizona Comments: I am writing this in Memory of my Father, Sergeant Kerry D. Larson, who passed away a few days ago. From what little he has told me my father was all over the place in 'nam, in places he wasn't supposed to be, in an outfit that didn't necessarily exist. He was a brave soldier, decorated with bronze, I believe on more than one occasion. My father had to be removed from the jungle by the general personally when he was DEROS, because he did not want to leave his men. I know very little about his time in Vietnam, as like many who served multiple tours in action he did not want to talk much about it. Anyone who may have known my Father I would love for you to contact me with ANY information, however unimportant it may seem. My heart goes out to all who served in Vietnam AND your families, for they served with you. My flag flies in your honor every day, until the day I die. Sincerely, Kerry Larson II
