Welcome to our guestbook, a space designed for connecting and sharing cherished memories. We invite you to take a moment to leave your mark on this memory journal.
I was with the 19th LEMCO, 185th Maint Battalion, at Long Binh from April 1969 to April 1970. I arrived as an E4 63H20 mechanic, from school at Aberdeen. I was reassigned as an inspector, made E5 in July or August 1969 (15 mos.) and became the Motor Sergeant in the Fall of 1969. I went to FO school, and spent a lot of nights in the perimeter towers for the second half of my tour.
The best part of the tower duty was the 1/2 day afterward, and a trip to the steam baths.
Looking back, Vietnam was a defining point in my life. The military gave me far more than it took. My oldest son currently serves and is just now completeing
his second tour overseas.
Never forget that ANYONE who has worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces has earned his freedom, and commands the greatest respect for his or her service.
