Our Story

D Company, 1st BN 6th INF, 198th Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, Vietnam. D Company was formed in February 1968. The company was made up of 50% FNG and 50% experienced soldiers from C Company. From that day on D Company played a key role in the accomplishments of the 1st BN 6th Infantry Regiment. During it’s time in Vietnam it was sited as having over 700 incidents listed in the Americal Division Tactical Operation Centers logs. Each of these incidents is listed and pinpointed on a map on our website. D Company has collected over 2000 pictures from the soldiers that they brought home from Vietnam.

Our website also has 100’s of pictures from the annual reunions since 2011. Again this is all documented on our website and the shutdown of D Company in November 1971. During the company existence in Vietnam, 40 of our brothers did not make it home. These soldiers are listed on our website and are linked to the Virtual Wall.
