If you have copies of 2/14th documents or photographs you would like to share on these pages, please send a description of the contents to Kirk Ramsey. I am also trying to compile a roster of the men who served with the 2/14th during the Vietnam years. If you have any copies of orders you received such as Army Commendation medals, Bronze Star medals, etc. (they usually have lists of other men in the battalion who also received awards) please let me know. |
