SP4 Jimmy D. Mann was in the 1st Platoon 1969-1970

The Kid, Jimmy D Mann, Corso

With his wife at the 2002 Reunion

I have clear memories of Jimmy D. Mann (we always called him Jimmy D. or Jimmy D. Mann). I did not have a liking for country music or knowledge of the songs of Hank Williams until he serenaded us with his guitar whenever we stopped for the day into our NDP. He had the only guitar in the platoon. I seem to remember that he was on Blair's track, 1-3, but he's not listed as being on any track in our lineage page. I've pulled many a dismounted patrol and ambush patrols with him. by Pineapple

I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy!!
Loved the guy!! He could sing and play the guitar like none I've heard before!!
I talked to him over the years, and he told me his health was failing!
RIP Brother Jimmy D Mann!!! by Kid (Mike Davis)
