Found Men of Delta and Headquarters & Headquarters companies, All Battalion level positions, and our Battalion Associates.
(UPDATED JANUARY 1, 2007)
2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Association Personnel Part 2
DUE TO FILE SIZE LIMITATIONS, THIS LIST COVERS ONLY BATTALION PERSONNEL, D COMPANY, HQ / HHC COMPANY, BATTALION POSITIONS, UNKNOWN COMPANY, AND ASSOCIATES. SEE PART 1 LISTINGS FOR A COMPANY, B COMPANY, AND C COMPANY.
DREADNAUGHTS ARE LISTED IN ORDER BY COMPANY SERVED WITH OR BY BATTALION FUNCTION. IN CASES WHERE PEOPLE SERVED IN MULTIPLE COMPANIES OR FUNCTIONS, LISTINGS ARE BY ORDER OF FIRST SERVICE AS KNOWN TO THE ASSOCIATION.
Note: The rank listed on this web page is the last known rank while the individual served with the 2/34th Armor Battalion. If we are unsure of the rank, it is left blank. We base this listing on the documentation that we have on file. Many men went on to make a career in the U.S. Army or later served in the National Guard or other Services. As on would expect, many men went up in rank in Vietnam and later on in life. Our listing is by VIETNAM rank No disrespect is intended, but when men try to remember a buddy, they are looking for a tank loader or a truck driver who was a SP4 or a PFC, not a buddy who retired 15 years later as a First Sergeant or Command Sergeant Major. If you would like to have any corrections made to these listings - please send the web master an email stating your corrections.
Delta Company
Delta Company began in mid 1968 as a result of a restructuring effort to account for the shortages of personnel experienced by the absence of Bravo and Charlie Companies. Once the Battalion was fragmented, it was very difficult to man the T.O.E. as a Battalion, with people spread out all over Vietnam.

HQ and HHC Companies
For ease of listing purposes, all Headquarters Company, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Headquarters Tank Platoon, Headquarters Recon Platoon, Headquarters Support Platoon, Headquarters Mortars Platoon, C.R.I.P. Platoon, Radar, and all other variations of Headquarters Personnel are now listed together.. Why the variation in terminology? I don't know, but from my standpoint the proper term is HHC (Headquarters and Headquarters Company). I think that we shortened the proper term for ease and over the years we have become familiar with what it was to us, and not what it actually showed on the payroll .
