Vic Olney Passes Away
Unfortunatly I have to announce the loss of another permanant fixture to the 9th.
Most of you knew Vic Olney as the Volunteer Manager of the Officers Club & the Owner of his Buisness Tara Hall.
Vic Olney was also a Veteran of the 69th Regiment, New York. He was married to his wife Barbara.
There are some of us who have known him for more than 50 years and some who never got the chance to know him at all. He dedicated so much time and energy into the Irish Brigade - The 69th Regiment. His death is going to hit the 69th Regiment hard, Vic was a permanant fixture in the 69th.
Our Hearts go out to his Wife, his family and his Military Family.
Our Hearts go out to all of you who knew and loved him, and have lost a friend
His death however, is a great loss to us all.
We do not have any details yet on funeral arrangements. Information will be posted once it is recieved.

Prayers for the 27th BCT
The 27th Brigade Combat Team is currently deployed in Afghanistan for Operation Phoenix VII. While we support and pray for the 27th as a whole we have a special relationship with the 1/69 and the 2/108 through our work together. We have worked with the 2/108 on the CERFP task force for many years now and we not only share a home with the 1/69 but we have worked together on many occasions. These soldiers and their families are in our prayers. Check for updates on this deployment on the 27th BCT website
