still need to hear from niles "nick" strew. I want to learn about Lester Strew's POW experience in WWII.

I served in Viet Nam Jan 68 to Aug 69.I was with Co D 46th engineers Long Bihn. I am looking for anyone who was there and remembers a man named Goss who was killed by a concussion round in 68 or 69. I think his first name was Jeff And if anyone remembers a guy named Nelson who was wounded under fire while digging in a laterite pit at night

I am a historian researching the diary of Colonel Richard P. Clark, Jr., US Army (Ret.), who was chief of Movements Branch, J-4, MACV, from June 1965 to June 1966. If you served in his branch or worked in J-4, please email me.

I WAS TDY AT MACV ADVISORY TEAM 67 IN SONG BE VIETNAM IN 1969. I REMEMBER THAT WE WERE ALWAYS BEING HIT WITH MOTAR ATTACKS AS WELL AS SMALL ARMS FIRE. I AM NOW FIGHTING WITH THE VA FOR PTSD CLAIM, AS I CAN NOT REMEMBER VERY MANY NAMES. MR HANDY AND CPT BALDWIN WERE BOTH KILLED ON AUG 27 1969. SP 4 BERRY AND MCGEE WERE WONDED IN THE MAY ATTACKS THAT LASTED FRO 5 DAYS, ALSO SP4 HUGHES WAS AIRVACED HE BUSTED HIS EARDRUMS SHOOTING THE 57 RECOILESS RIFLE THX FOR ANY HELP

I was in the 92nd at Cam Rhan Bay and have not heard from anyone since 1972 when I left. It would be nice to contact sombody after all these years

Drafted Dec. 13th 1965 Basic Training At Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX. AIT Medical Training At Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX. My Orders To Vietnam Were Deferred Until After My First Son Was Born And My 30 Day Leave Which Was About The End Of September 1966. Durning My Deferment I Ran And Setup Movies For Medical Training Classes At Fort Sam Houston. I Arrived In Vietnam About The End Of September And Was Assigned To The A Company 1st Of The 16th 1st Division Base Camped At Lai Khe. In One Of Those Old Beautiful French Rubber Plantations. My Brother Went Over At About The Same Time With His Seebee Unit And Was Station Somewhere Around Danang Air Base. I Was Made Aware I Don't Remember How Or When, But I Was Told That Two Brothers Didn't Have To Serve In Country At The Same Time. Sometime Around June 1967 I Put In For A Transfer To Hawaii. I Figured I Had A Son, My Brother Didn't, I Was In A Combat Unit, My Brother Wasn't So I Felt Confident He Would Make It Back Without Being Harmed. The Time I Was There We Didn't See A Lot Of Action. Oh There Were A Few Times When There Were VC Rounds Poping over Our Heads And I Had To Bandage Up Some Of Our Guys And Send Them Home. The Hardest One To Take Was When We Were Out On A Road Clearing At Night And One Of Our Tanks Was Traveling Up And Down The Road And The Driver Forgot To Put The Turret On Travel Lock Position Letting The Gun Swing Around And Knocking Out The Driver Causing The Tank To Go Out Of control. The Tank Came Down The Road And Ran Over Our Machine Gunner. Right A Cross His Back And There Was Stopped By A Very Large Tree Stump Right On Top Of Him. We Didn't Want To Drive The Tank Back Off Of Him So We Decided To Dig Him Out Insted. By The Time We Got Him Out There Was No Life Left. Been A Medic It Still Hurts That We Couldn't Save SP-4 Burris. But Any Way I Finally Got To Hawaii Where I Was Stationed At Schofield Barracks. From June 1967 Until November1967 I Was Asigned To Help Train Medics In The 4th Infantry Which Was Getting Ready To Ship Out To Vietnam. In October I Got A Telegram From My Father That My Brother Had Died. His Plane That Was Bring Him Home Crashed After Take Off From Danang Air Base. Some How There Was A Foul Up In His Orders To Come Home. He Was Supposed To Come Home With His Unit But Because Of Foul Up He Was Forced To Stay Another Week And Correct The Problem. One Of His Friends Stayed With Him So They Could Come Back Together. I Should Have Stayed And Sent Him Home First..... It Never Goes Away

My poppa's a Marine. He served with the 1/5 in Vietnam from 1967-1969. His name is Roy Dean Newman. The operations I know he was involved in:
Operation Allan Brook
Mameluke Thrust I and II
Tet
Liberty Bridge~he blew up an underground hospital one visit to Liberty Bridge
Troy Bridge
Beach Long Co
I know that he operated from the DMZ (and North) to Sout of Da Nang. I know he was an F.O., a Rough Rider, Ammo Tech, Sniper.
I am hoping to find people that know my poppa. I am writting a book on him. He, like many Marines, do not talk about this time. This book is a tribute to him and his band of brothers. I would like to speak with anyone who was there, could offer insight...and definately if you know my poppa! He would love to hear from you. He left Kansas City on a train bound for the NCRD, him and 60 other boys. They had fun on their train ride. But the yellow footprints changed that.
I remember one nickname and that is 6 toes Perez from Miami Florida. Also there is a Helo pilot I would like to find out about, he would come into a Hot Zone playing "Sky Pilot" by Eric Burrden and the Animals. Also my poppa had a best friend the name I know is Ot. Ot died in my poppas arms due to a fresh from the states Sgt. who had them walk in an open rice patty. I would love to talk to anyone who knew my poppa then, and reintroduce you.
Sincerely
Deana Newman
A Very Proud Daughter of a Marine!

I was a member of G/29 (SLT) from April 1968 to April 1969. Most of my year was spent repairing any lights that broke in the 2nd platoon. I spent approx 4 weeks in the boonies as a crew chief while men went on R&R, including a couple of weeks on Crows Nest. Would like to be contacted by any one from this time period who were with G/29.
