SIX WAYS WE SERVE
The 6th Support Battalion arrived in Vietnam 19 December 1967 from their previous station in Hawaii. They departed Vietnam 15 February 1969. The 6th Support Battalion was the brigade level supply, direct support and general support maintenance, medical service and miscellaneous services for all assigned or attached elements of the brigade. The battalion was organized with four companies; A Company Administration, B Company Maintenance, C Company Supply/Service and D Company Medical. The 6th Support BN was reorganized when the 11th BDE changed to light infantry, while still in Hawaii. The BN then was A Co (Admin), B Co (Maint and Supply), C Co (Med).
The 6th Support Battalion provided support for the 11th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam.

Project of Honor
Our project, to honor the men of the 11th Light Infantry Brigade who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us and should never be forgotten. As the men of the 11th LIB, or anyone, visit the cemeteries where our heroes are laid to rest, they are taking photos of their grave marker. These photos are then submitted and we link them to our 11th LIB Casualty lists. Read more...
4th/3rd Flag Project
Bruce Flaherty now has flags flown over the capitol and certificates for each of the families of all 289 KIA’s that served the 4th/3rd Infantry in Vietnam. His plan is to locate the families and provide them the flag and certificate, his reason is simple-to let the families know that their loved one is not forgotten.
