The 4/12 Inf Web Beacon
One of the original aims of this site was to celebrate the fellows who served with 4/12 Infantry during our Baumholder days, and help each other get in touch. Veterans of the regiment from Viet Nam days are certainly welcome, but should be sure to visit the Redcatcher site, which is the best place for 12th Infantrymen of the 1960s to find their friends.
While this web beacon concept still works after a fashion, technology has moved on since I first posted back in 2005. I rarely update it now [originally 'now' was 2020, but now it's 2023] because it's been overtaken by other social media platforms such as Facebook and Military.com. However, you can still enter your details (including a long-term email address) in the comments section below, or on any of the other posts here at the 4/12 Inf Web Beacon. That will allow search engines like Google to find you, and help you find other vets.
I'll keep all of these entries on the site so long as Blogger.com remains in operation, and will post the occasional item of interest like the dedication ceremony for the 12th Infantry Regiment monument at Fort Benning.
Meanwhile, if you're keen to see if I have details for anyone in particular, you can still contact me directly.
Naturally, I won't pass your details along to spammers or scammers. And I'm not selling anything myself, either.
If you're still in touch with anyone from those days, I'd be grateful if you would forward them a link to this site, and raise a glass in honor of the times we had in Germany all those many years ago.
Warriors!
p.s. if you were also with 1/39 Inf (M), be sure to visit that web beacon as well.

I was there from 88 to 92.saw the retirement of 4-12 and the hand over to 1-39, saw a lot of good leaders but even more poor leaders.my over all experience from this base was it only catered to suck ups and ass kissers,grudges were held people had careers ruined because leaders ran amok and got away with a lot. I was an NCO who ended his career with two honorable discharges and threw E-6 orders in my commanders face the last day of my enlistment, still I remember many good times as well !!!!
was there in 1996. Did the bosnia deployment. Headquarter maintenance. I remember a specialist Ryan Lorrain scouts. Another specialist Mike anderson. Head quarter maintenance. What a trip into the past. great times there. Colonel Briscoe was there to.

My name is Dennis Witt. I served in the 1/12th in Vietnam in 66-67. This post is to let all of you who proudly served in the 4/12th at any time that there will be a dedication ceremony of a newly created monument to the 12th Infantry Regiment on May 31, 2017. This monument is being built on the Walk of Honor grounds of the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, Ga. Since this monument is dedicated to the all who have ever served in the 12th Regiment, we'd like to invite all our brothers from the 4/12th to attend the ceremony. You can find information about the monument project and the dedication ceremony on the 1/12th Vietnam Red Warriors web site (http://redwarriors.us/NEWS.htm). We look forward to meeting you.

Anyone from my uncle John Taillon was Charlie Co 4/12th 66-67. If anyone has any info on him please reach out stephenamber92417@gmail.com
General question regarding the 4/12 here. My uncle served in Vietnam in the 3/12, and in my research on his unit (he was KIA 5/8/68), I've discovered that the 12th Infantry Regiment was called the "Warrior Regiment", and each battalion had a nickname. 1/12 was the Red Warriors, 2/12 the White Warriors, 3/12 the Brave Warriors...but I can't find anything about the nicknames for the 4/12 or 5/12. Anyone remember?
Thanks,
Mark
