On this date, 38, years ago, Jerry Laborn Booker died, serving his country in Vietnam. In fact, another Booker, Harvey Watkins Booker, from the same troop, whose tour began, the same day, August 23, 1967, was killed, in the same operation, on the same day. Jerry was, a member of D, Troop, 3rd, Squadron, 5th, Cavalry. The 3/5, Cav., were known, as the Black Knights and his Troop, was known, as Lighthorse. They were an Air, Cavalry unit, meaning, they fought and conducted, operations primarily, from helicopters. They are a proud unit, with a proud history. Jerry's, tour of duty, was 8, months. For more info., about D, Troop, 3/5, Cav., there are a few websites. Here they are:
