Films of 1st Cavalry Air Mobile at An Khe, Vietnam,filmed between December 1965 and January 1966.

PFC Ronald Kenny, 18, Binh Dinh province Feb. 19, 1966

This Memorial Day we remember the service and sacrifice of a fallen son of Carroll, Ronald M. Kenny

My God, we were so young…

My Memorial Day column this Sunday in the Carroll County section of the Baltimore Sun, http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/, is Ron Kenny, a 1965 graduate from Robert Moton High School and the first son of Carroll to be killed in Vietnam… http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2013/05/eagle-archive-explorecarrollcom-pfc.html

In past Carroll Eagle Archives columns we have shared the stories of some of the eighteen fallen heroes from the Vietnam War who faces are etched in the black granite memorial in the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street.

The stories of Frederick John Magsamen, Christopher Jesse Miller, Jr., Stanley Groomes, Joseph William Blickenstaff, Herbert Eugene Mulkey, Jr., James Norman Byers and Sherman E. Flanagan, Jr., have been told.

Very little has been written about Private First Class (PFC) Kenny. In my research I came across a You Tube, “An Khe, Vietnam; “Films of 1st Cavalry Air Mobile at An Khe, Vietnam, filmed between December 1965 and January 1966…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD81o3yYwV0

“Films of 1st Cavalry (Air Mobile) at An Khe, Vietnam, filmed between December 1965 and January 1966. Films were done as part of a briefing for the Army leadership.”

Kenny had entered the Army following graduation. In November 1965 he was stationed in central-coastal Vietnam in an area remembered for its heavy combat and high American casualties at the time.

Kenny was deployed with C Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division; which can trace its roots as far back as 1855, when it was organized and deployed in Texas in the Native American Plains Wars. The 5th Calvary regiment participated in twelve campaigns in Vietnam.

Kenny was killed in action in the ‘Iron Triangle’ region of Binh Dinh province, in Vietnam Feb. 19, 1966, along with Sgt. Elzie Jefferson Collins, Jr., and Sgt. Freddie Wallace Green. This was soon after the Battle of Bong Son – Operation Irving, January 28 to February 12, 1966.

Bong Son was essentially the second major battle of the war, not that long after the 5th Cavalry had been engaged in the Battle of Ia Drang, November 14-18, 1965, also in Binh Dinh. Many know Binh Dinh as where An Khe and Camp Radcliff were located.

The area known as the Iron Triangle was a heavily fortified position about 12-miles below Bong Son in the hills south and east of the Kim Son Valley, and was defended by a combined Viet Cong (VC) – North Vietnamese Army (NVA) force that included the Sao Vang - Yellow Star – Division, 2nd VC Main Force Regiment, and the acclaimed NVA 22nd Regiment.

It only took about 120 years, but an 1891 graduate of then-Western Maryland College, now McDaniel, recently made a donation to the college.

It was announced at McDaniel College's recent trustee-faculty dinner that about $6.7 million from the estate of 1891 alumnus Philip Henry Dorsey, of St. Clements Bay, will be used to establish an endowment for scholarships, according to information provided by the college.

This is the largest bequest for scholarships in the college's history. In contrast to the college's finances in the 1890s, one can only imagine how Dorsey's classmates would marvel at the size of the donation, especially since the first 25 years of the college were fraught with concern over the school's debt.

Local historian Dr. Jim Lightner said in an interview that Dorsey was one of 18 students to earn a bachelor's degree from the college in 1891. The college's total enrollment at the time was 154, he said.

On April 17, State Senators Joe Getty, R-Baltimore and Carroll counties, and Ed Kasemeyer, D-Baltimore and Howard counties, shared anecdotes and answered questions from about 50 McDaniel College students who had gathered in a lecture room at Hill Hall for the occasion.

The senators had visited the campus for a presentation, ““So What Just Happened: A Report from Annapolis,” as a courtesy to long standing McDaniel political science professor, Dr. Herb Smith – who is frequently sought-out by statewide and national media outlets for his insights into Maryland politics.
