Joseph Perdue, 39th Infantry Regiment, Fuerth 1955-1957

Well, now that I've been maintaining the 39th Infantry Regiment web beacon for a while, it's become increasingly a regimental matter rather than just being for the 1st Battalion. Which suits me fine. It's always interesting to hear from fellows who served in the 40s and 50s, when the unit was also in Germany. Those post-war years continue to fascinate me, and I really appreciate it when fellows from those days write in and even send photos.  One such veteran is Joe Perdue -- here are some words from him:

Hello. I found your web site and I'm wondering if you could help me. My name is Joseph P Perdue and I was with A. company 39th inf Reg stationed at the Montieth Barracks, Fuerth Germany from approx the summer of 1955 until the late summer of 1956. We then left Germany and headed for Ft. Carson, Colorado to become a training unit. I was discharged in January 1957. Our unit was a AAA-O slogan unit and we wore a Falcon Pin designated for the 39th Inf Reg but I'm not sure today what Battalion I was in. I have been trying to contact some old buddies who I served with but have been unsuccessful to date. Need any more info, please send me a e-mail to:

Update: 

Hi Matthew, thanks for your email. I have been in touch with Frank from Las Vegas but have not been able to find any other of my buddies from that era. I will in the near future update myself for your web site and send you some pictures I have from those years. Thanks again. Joe Perdue A Company 39th inf Div. Furth Germany 1955-1957.

Thanks for writing, Joe, and please do send those photos.
 
AAAO!
