Info Sheet - Rolland "Fletch" Fletcher
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I was 25 years old in VN - 1st Lt Artillery
Assigned to 3/4 CAV Nov 67 - Jul 68. Served in D Troop Apr - Jul 1968
In July moved to 9th Division as an advisor in the 44th Special Zone.
I only flew as Artillery Observer for 4 months in DTroop from Dawn to Dusk.
I moved to scouts as I could stay over any battlefield longer. I even changed choppers in the field to stay in the air.
After 6 air metals I quit signing in the log books.
The Cav was a great unit to serve in... on the ground or in the air.
I became a good friend with Col. Otis.
A long very nice story as he was proud of the men in the 3/4.
We are walking a little bit faster as Dwight Birdwell got the MOH.
Returned 1998 for a film by Ohio University called WONDERING SOULS.
