My uncle served in the 101st, 11 Bravo in Vietnam from 1970-1971. He was at Camp Eagle, but said he spent most of the time working out of Firebase Evans. I just picked up a set of 1911 grips from a laser engraving shop. Long story short, the engraver put the wrong image on the grips. Yea, I know....the image is a skull with wings but it also has a detailed unit name: "Charlie CO. 2 BN 506 INF 101st Airborne" I asked him if he knew what his exact unit was, he laughed and said..."pffftt...fuck...I would have to check my DD214..." These grips are a gift that go with the gun that I will give him on Father's Day. He has no idea why I asked. Would any members know if this could actually be the unit he served with? This image was one of several I supplied to the engraver....yea..I know. At least it does say "RVN 1970-1971" on the bottom. I may order another set, I could use a dremel to knock the charlie co. stuff down. All I know is that the AO was in the north near Hue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
