The Yes or No let me know whether to post your message to my guest book and whether to post your email address along with the guest book entry.

When in doubt, I will assume that your email is a private communication and will not post it. I tried automatic guest book forms, but was not satisfied with the reliability across browsers and operating systems. Simple email appears much more reliable. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Thanks....Homer

John Jay Germano Jr.
Company B, 2nd Bn
35th Infantry Regiment
4th Infantry Division, Vietnam

Hi Homer,

My father recently passed away. He was a Ranger / Green Beret, based in Pleiku. His name was John Jay Germano Jr. and his nickname was "Cat Man." John served proudly as a Green Beret with Company B, 2nd Bn, 35th Infantry Regiment, Vietnam in 1969 as the leader of a SOG Recon Team. This involved living and working with the indigenous mountain tribes of Vietnam, the Montagnards. He came to love their ingenuity and the loyalty they committed to the US troops. While there, he was severely wounded during a fire fight on September 29th, 1969 and spent almost a year in a full body cast while recovering in the States. For his bravery he was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

I was wondering if you had contacts or maybe knew him?

Thanks sir!
Chad Germano
