1st Battalion, 92nd Artillery
Veteran Survey










Foreword by David Powell

Gentlemen,
When it comes to putting pen to paper, I am no different from the next guy…I have to be poked and prodded by my wife to send birthday cards to my parents! However, one thing I think I share with all of you, my brothers of the 1/92nd Artillery, is the pride of our unit and the pride of the job we all did while in Vietnam. I do not know if you have looked, but there is only ONE, book that I have found, that tells the story of Artillery in Vietnam. We have a unique opportunity here to not just tell the story, but also tell OUR story. We have made this as simple as possible to complete. Your responses are completely confidential and you may fill out only what you are comfortable with supplying. SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. Thank you.

 
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this survey is to collect information about veterans who served with 1/92 in Vietnam. Based on the number of veterans who respond, a project will be undertaken to publish a book about the unit and its men that focus on the Vietnam and post Vietnam experiences. If you have questions about the survey or the book project, feel free to contact me at bp1@igg-tx.net or 512-819-9696. (Bo Prehar, 1/92 68-69)
