POINT WALKER
Nec Aspera Terrent — “No Fear on Earth”
A living memorial to the men of the Wolfhounds — those who served, those who came home, and the brothers who did not.
The Name They Could Not Set Down
In the frozen Russian Far East, the men of the 27th Infantry pursued a retreating enemy across a thousand miles of snow — all the way to the capture of Blagoveschensk. The Russians who watched them hunt gave them a name that has never left the colors: the Wolfhounds.
The Story of SiberiaCu Chi
From their base camp at Cu Chi, the 1st and 2nd Battalions fought along the Cambodian border — through the Tet offensives, the Renegade Woods, and the fire support bases the Army pushed to the very edge of the war. They took some of the heaviest losses of the 25th Division. This is footage the Wolfhounds filmed themselves, in 1968.

Point Walker was built by a Wolfhound — Kermit Schayltz, who is raising a permanent Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Citrus Heights, California, within sight of the highway. Thirty-four of the names cut into that wall belong to men he served beside. This site is its digital companion: a place to speak their names, and to keep them.
Kermit Schayltz
A Wolfhound of the 25th Infantry Division, Kermit served two tours in Vietnam from 1968 to 1970. He came home to a country that had turned against the men it sent — and has spent the years since making certain his brothers are never forgotten. Point Walker is his work, and his promise.
