Its purpose is to bring together those who served honorably with, or who are now on active duty in all Battalions, of the 17th Artillery. It was also formed to honor those who sacrificed their lives while serving with the unit. The Associations objective is to find all who served with said unit and to hold yearly reunions at various locations. We wish to preserve and strengthen the friendships and camaraderie formed while serving in this outstanding Artillery Unit. The organization will publish a newsletter to keep all members informed of events, historical information, and activities of the association. We will also maintain the 17th artillery classroom in Snow Hall at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, by adding new memorabilia, pictures, and history of the past and present units. We will also maintain an Internet site. This site is in recognition of, and dedicated to, all that proudly served in the great units of the 17th Artillery. Association Officers are : Norman R. Jones -------- President Paul Fusco ---------------- 1st Vice President John Ryan ----------------- Secretary Richard Siebe ------------ Treasury Search Committee: Mike Burke --------- Committee Chief Webster Cole Neal Fouts Jack Picciolo Dick Truslow Terry Wallace As Committee Chief, I encourage you to continue in your efforts to locate others who served with all units of the Regiment. It has been 3 months since I attended the Reunion at Washington DC, and it has taken this long for me to get back to earth. It was one of the best times in my life other than meeting my wife after leaving Vietnam. I started looking for information on my unit, C Battery 2/17th Artillery, about 2 1/2 years ago without any results. In December 1999, I finally made contact with John J. (Jack) Picciolo via Internet. He referred me to Norman R. (Richard) Jones, the association president. Richard contacted me with names and addresses of several veterans that I served with. Since then, I have found several that were with me during the years of 1969-1970. At that time my life changed, I have been able to reunite with old friends. After 30 - 35 years have gone by, we have changed in appearance and actions, but in our hearts we are still dedicated to one another as if it were in Vietnam. Im looking forward to seeing everyone again as well as meeting new friends at our next reunion in June 2001, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I have made a personal commitment to help find other 17th Artillery Veterans and help them get reconnected with their lost buddies. Mike Burke 1653 1/2 Superior Ave. Costa Mesa, CA. 92627 (949) 645-9284 Bootzy101@aol.com Reunion 2000 The 2nd annual reunion of the 17th Artillery Regiment Association was held June 1-3, 2000, at the Best Western Washington Gateway Hotel in Rockville, Maryland. Veterans started arriving on 30 May. On 31 May 2000, some of us took the subway and went to the Pentagon for a tour. There we were escorted by a US Army sergeant and walked about 1 1/2 miles of the hallways. The tour was quite interesting and very educational. Upon returning to the hotel, we found out that a few more of our veterans had checked in. On 1 May, the remainder had checked in. We had a good crowd and went to eat at a family restaurant. We enjoyed the company of Harold & Erma Brown Sr. and Harold M. (Buck) & Bonnie Brown Jr. with daughter, Jessica. They are family members of Robert R. Brown (KIA) C/2/17th Artillery. That evening we went back to the hospitality room in the hotel, sat around, and looked at pictures. Harold and Erma Brown Sr. were presented with a life membership. On 2 May, the group went in several different directions to tour DC. Everyone was to meet at the Vietnam Memorial Wall at 1pm. Webster Cole assembled the group and said a prayer before touring the wall. Thanks Webster! Upon returning to the hotel, everyone then proceeded to the Home of Richard S. Shrout for a cook out. Richard and his lovely wife, Sandy, opened their home to all of us. Paul Fusco and a couple of others did the honor of grilling the burgers and hot-dogs. Then all of a sudden, a thunder storm came up and everyone went inside. After it passed over, we all went back outside and took group pictures. The cookout turned out great. Everyone enjoyed it! Sandy and Richard, we thank you very much. Both of you are wonderful people. After things wound down, we all went back to the hospitality room. On 3 May, just before our general membership meeting, we had a gentlemen named Steve Kostecki (Retired Air Force) arrive. He was representing one of our casualties from Vietnam, Nickolaus C. Zozula (Ukrainian American born in West Germany the year of 1945 and came to the United States in 1953) C Battery 2/17th Artillery. Steve, we enjoyed your visit. Also on that same morning we welcomed the first Battalion Commander of the 2/17th Artillery in Vietnam, LTC Harry O Amos. He brought along some slides and told us of the early days in the central highlands and Camp Radclift. He also told us how they devised a harness and practiced slinging a howitzer by using a 5 ton wrecker. Harry, we enjoyed your visit and hope to see you at Fort Sill. A lot of men that served in your command are there and would love to see you. The officers on page 1 of the newsletter were elected, and we formed a search committee. We also voted to have our next reunion at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, on June 18-23, 2001. On the evening of 3 May, several of us went to the old town of Gaithersburg to an open air concert . At the beginning of the concert, they recognized the 17th Artillery Regiment Association. There we saw them perform. One of our members, Richard Shrout, participated in the singing. They were outstanding, we enjoyed it. Thanks for the invitation! We then returned to the hospitality room at which time we took pictures and said our farewells. There were a total of 43 in attendance. I want everyone to know that the Browns were with us every step of the way. They were there every day. Harold And Erma Brown, we love you both and well see you at Fort Sill. Note of Interest: Albert R. (Bud) Hoffman has been back to Vietnam 5 times since 1990. He has toured both the North and South. Bud has an outstanding collection of pictures that make some very interesting history. Some of the pictures were shown at the reunion. Thanks Bud! The following persons attended: Albert & Mary Alberico---------NY Harry O. Amos-------VA Dave & Judy Bickler--------OH Harold M. & Erma Brown Sr.-------MT Harold M.

The reunion was a success. 2nd Battalion 17th Artillery (Korea) Recently contact has been made with the active duty personnel of the 2/17th Arty and Association veterans. Communications has been established with James Sherrill, the Command Sergeant Major, and several of our members. Some of us have furnished our past combat experiences with them. Jim has been very instrumental in getting the 2/17th Artillery web site (Korea) up and operational. He is one of our newest members and has mentioned that June 2001 is about the time of his mid tour and may be in attendance at the reunion. Jim our hats are off to you for your outstanding contribution to the Battalion. The 2/17th Artillery web site is as follows. http://www-2id.korea.army.mil/Major_Subordinate_Commands/DIVARTY/2-17th/default.htm 17th Artillery Regiment Association (Website) The web site is being set up by one of our own Veterans (Ed Hitchner) and I must say that he does excellent work. He has told me that he is almost ready to get a host and to get the site up and running world wide. What he has in mind is very nice. Once everything is up we should find a lot more of our buddies as well as getting some useful information. Please hold off and not bombard Ed with data, but instead send it to me. Ill notify all when to send information. If you would like to view what has been done, then go to the following web site. www.17thArtilleryregiment.org Thank You Ed ! This is our first Newsletter and I hope it has been informative. If you have something of interest that you would like published, dont hesitate to put it on paper and send it to me. Please get your pictures etc; ready to display in the 17th Artillery Classroom when we have our reunion in June 2001. Reunion information will be out soon. Norman R.
