"These Are My Credentials." The 199th Light Infantry Brigade in the Republic of Vietnam, 1966-1970. This book is an oral history on the 199th LIB in Vietnam as told by Redcatcher veterans that served in the unit from 1966-1970. Published by Authorhouse, 2004. Signed by the author. 155 pages with photographs, maps and an extra appendix that contains further information on the 199th Infantry Brigade (Sep)(Lt). The 199th Light Infantry Brigade (Redcatchers) served with distinction, honor and valor in the Republic of Vietnam from November 28th, 1966 to October 15th, 1970. During the American involvement in Vietnam, the 199th LIB proved time and time again that it was one of the finest and most professional infantry units to have ever served in the United States Army. Organized specifically for Vietnam service, the 199th became the first major American unit to undergo the process of Vietnamization with ARVN forces in 1967, the first American brigade in U.S. military history to have an African-American as its commanding officer, the first unit in Vietnam to have a Chaplain awarded the Medal of Honor and the sole unit in Vietnam to earn the dubious distinction as having lost the only general officer killed in action during ground combat. Often overshadowed by the larger, more "glamorous" units and divisions that fought in Southeast Asia, less than 25,000 men ever served in the ranks of the 199th LIB. 755 young heroes from the Brigade were killed in action during the Vietnam War. Their memory and sacrifice will never be forgotten... Please email at any time with any questions. Payment must be received up to 7 days after close of auction.

New, Authorhouse 2005, signed by author. 120 pages, 60 full-color, quality pictures of men and places associated with the 199th LIB from 1967-1970. The Army designed the 199th Infantry Brigade to be a unique unit in Vietnam. Being a self-contained brigade, soldiers serving with the 199th performed nearly every task associated with fighting a war. They came from all walks of life and served with distinction. Previously published works address the politics, campaigns, tactics and equipment of the Vietnam War. They Fought Together directs the focus to the people of the 199th LIB. The military provided the equipment, organization and tactics to accomplish the mission. But, the heart and soul of the unit resides within those that served with the 199th. For those that served with the 199th, They Fought Together will prove to be a special treasure. It will trigger memories in military personnel serving in Vietnam whether with the 199th or other units. For everyone with an interest in the Vietnam War, the book provides an insight into the lives, living conditions, and job functions of the Vietnam soldier serving far from home. Tom ?Preach?
