The other name on the flap

I hear you, I would like to see more.

I like it! Good find!

Yet another outstanding graffiti cover! So you suspect this helmet was owned by two servicemen in its lifetime, Mr. Popielski and a certain Mr. Gervasio? If so, that's awesome!   It's really tough to hear that Mr. Popielski passed this year. More and more Vietnam vets are leaving us, which makes it even more important to keep their stories and legacies alive.

Zach,   Very well presented and well done. Glad to know that there are many younger folks who are attentive and studying the history..   Keep up the great work   Best regards   Leigh

Thank you so much for the help in finding out this info for my grandfather.

Thanks, Leigh! It’s a joy teaching my passion to youth and believe it or not the youth do care. Here’s some recent pictures of a musuem I helped host in our library. I’m dressed as a member of C/502 on 6 June and my student volunteers were working with my groupings and uniforms.    

I will echo what Scarecrow and Mikie said, please share more as its an interesting and not often discussed area of US military history, Thank you, Scott,

Yes I believe Bernard was his father’s name, so must have the correct person, great work Lance!
