History

The Triple Deuce (2/22 Mz) trained in Fort Lewis, Washington, as part of the 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, during 1966.  It was mobilized to Vietnam in September 1966 and attached to the 25th Infantry Division.  Other units in the 3rd Brigade were the 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry (2/12) and the 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry (3/22).  Another unit in the 22nd Infantry Regiment that served in Nam, but not in the immediate area of the 3rd Brigade was the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry (1/22).  The first permanent base for the Third Brigade in Nam was in the village of Dau Tieng.  One of our comrades from the 2/12 has posted a site that has this location as one of the main themes.  The 22nd Infantry , which included the first, second and third battalions, held its latest reunion in Omaha, NB in October 2006.  See photos of the last 3 reunions by clicking the links below.

The Many of us came back from Vietnam and for 30 years or more did not want to hear anything about it.  Our nightmares were enough.  Many of us have never gotten over the fine young men that lost their lives at their prime.  But times cures all ills, and Nam vets started looking for each other, to share some of the most intense experiences.  The Vietnam Triple Deuce, Inc. was created to fulfill this yearning.

The articles of incorporation for the Vietnam Triple Deuce, Inc. simply state under its purpose:

"To assist its members and their families in times of distress an to provide them mutual understanding and support; and to participate in and support veteran's functions and programs."

Another reason for creating the nonprofit corporation and this web site, is to collect the history of the times 30 years or more ago, and keep them as proof that conflict is not a worthwhile goal.  The only thing that makes it bearable is the camaraderie and the love of your fellow sufferers.
