 When the going gets tough and you need someone to depend on, the 101st Airborne 327th Infantry, 2nd Battalion is "Second To None".
These pages tell the stories of the men from the 2nd Battalion, the places they fought and the far away places where some of them died. There are stories from foxholes, helicopters, the jungle, the mud, the heat, and the rain. Some stories are funny, some are heartrending.

This website is also the gathering place for the men and their families to get together and go over past times, get healing for wounds, help others to heal...and just to have some good old fashioned fun times. If you served and you haven't been to one of our reunions, you are missing out on some real good times. If you just need some research for a class project, we trust we have helped your comprehension of our place in history.

That is 2/327, April ’68 – photographed by Tom Greenspan entitled “Help from Above” – This photo won a Pulitzer Prize.
The central figure is LT Sewell who was inducted as a DMOR about three years ago. LT. Sewell rose to the rank of LTC – Steve knows him. He met him during a previous WOE at Fort Campbell and told Sewell “.. my wife has your photo in her office…”
