Redcatcher: 4/12 Infantry, 199th Light Infantry Brigade (Vietnam)

From time to time I get email from veterans who served with 4th Bn, 12th Inf when the regiment was in Vietnam, where the parent 199th Light Infantry Brigade was known as Redcatcher. As a courtesy, and out of historical interest for those of us who served with the unit in Germany at the end of the Cold War and the early/mid 1990s, I'm posting a couple of useful links:

Bill and Joy Howard, 4/12 Infantry 1989

I forget exactly when they arrived, maybe 1988 -- probably when 'we' were still 1/39 Infantry -- but in any case I remember LT Bill Howard and his wife LT Joy Howard (who was with 8th Personnel down near the hospital). We didn't have a lot of couples who were both in the military for some reason.

Was Bill with Delta Co, or am I mistaken?

Last time I saw Joy, she was visiting Heidelberg (where I was living in 1990), not long before Gulf War I.

Also heard a rumour that Bill was transferred down to Miesau, of all places. Anybody out there know? If so, drop a line and I'll post it.

Warriors!
