101st Airborne Nam bring back Tokarev rig!

Sergeant Jeffery R. Lighton was a member of Headquarters Company 2nd Brigade 101st Airborne Division. He served in the Army from February 1966 to January 1969 including duties in the States, Germany and Vietnam. I have his contact info and I'm in the process of trying to contact him.

That’s cool. I hope that you are successful in contacting him and can get the story of how he acquired it.

That's Very Cool Indeed
My Buddy Steve of the 101st Airborne served in Vietnam during that time. The Screaming Eagles Air Rangers
Sadly, Steve just passed away 1/6/22 @ 67
I have his Dog Tag
He is dearly Missed & was a character
I also have his father's Golden Eagle as He was a pilot in WWII
He had so many items with the POW/MIA logo on them
I have them all on display in my man cave

Good Luck getting in touch with Sergeant Jeffery R. Lighton
Thank him for His Service

That is really neat- best of luck locating SGT Lighton, and God bless him and everyone else who served. I sincerely hope we get a detailed followup!

I hope so too but its not looking good as he was emailed and messaged on Facebook a few days ago and no response so far. I'm not giving up yet and hope he's waiting until the weekend when he has time to respond.

That’s cool, would be nice to hear the history behind it. Good luck

Having actual history is a hard thing to come by.

You may need to be patient with waiting for a response. I don't check my email every day and only look at FB about once per quarter. Assuming that he's retired, it may take a while for him to check his email.

Yes I plan on being patient and not bother the man. He is still working and may be busy. Thanks
