This web is dedicated to the troopers who served with D company 1/11 Armored Cavalry Regiment (the Blackhorse) in Vietnam. The company consisted of about ninety men assigned to three platoons each equipped with five M48-A2C or M48-A3 tanks, and a headquarters platoon with two more tanks, an M88 tank recovery vehicle, and a number of M113-A1 personnel carriers. To make this web serve the needs of the D Company veterans, I need your help. Please contact me at david.avery@dartmouth.edu with stories, poems, photos and contact addresses that I can add to this page.

History of the Blackhorse Regiment

My friend Mike Phillips served with MAC/CORDS in Vietnam and after thirty years returned to Vietnam for a visit last summer. Although Vietnamese today remember it as "The American War," a small man Mike met on a Mekong River ferry at My Tho summed up the attitude of many Vietnamese. "The Americans were the only army that came to help us," he said. "You fought for an ideal. You were wrong. But everyone else fought for profit."
