First I would like to say Thank You to all you veterans out there! I wish I was around years ago to give you all the welcome home you deserved! My father is a Vietnam Veteran (SP5 Teich, Americal 26th Engineer Battalion, '68-'69). My husband is currently in the military and I see how different things are now then they were back when you served in Vietnam. I know I will never be able to help erase the horrible memories my father has of the war, give him back the life a normal kid had at the age he was drafted, or take away the hurt of not having a welcome home. Since I have grown up though, I have done everything I can to give him recognition he never got for his part in the war so many years ago. I can only hope it helps to know that at least someone is thinking of that part of his life. Though he doesn't speak about Vietnam often, it warms my heart knowing he can talk to me about it because I have acknowledged his sacrifice and understand it more then anyone else in our family. I'm not sure how he would feel about getting in touch with more of the people he served with, but if you would like to get in touch with him you can contact me and I will see what I can do. I know when I was younger we took a family vacation and made a few stops to see some old Vietnam friends of his, but most of them have passed on now.

I am 34-year old half-Vietnamese girl with new info about my American birth father MIKE KENNETH LEWIS, American soldier in Cam Ranh Bay 1970-71. MIKE was lead cook at ARMY MESS HALLS downhill near Communication Center 1970 & Mess Hall uphill 1971 (that where my mom work as his typist in 71). His duties were supervise cooks, inventory & order food, plan menus, payroll so probably MOS 94B10 or 94B20. MIKE was med. ht, wt, thin brown hair & seem much older than other GI. MIKE know my mom (NHAN KIM HUYNH) pregnant and he not want to leave her. MIKE send Vietnamese friend to tell Mom to rush to airport immediately to see him one last time because he have to leave early but she have no way to get there. He never see her again.

MIKE leave Vietnam about Aug.-Sept. 1971 & I born 7 months later March 1972. He may be in Unit #124th Transportation Co. so truck drivers, cooks, G.I.s could all remember him. Do you remember a MIKE LEWIS?
I pray everyday for my father to want to see me one time to see how much I look like him (I do not look like my mom) & I want to ask him question about his family history and health problems. Thank you for any information you can tell me about my father or any suggestion on how I locate him. Yen: [email protected] or 682-559-6212

I was with 1/52 Bn, 198th Infantry, Americal. I was an 05B40 radio operator in the TOC. I was in-country from July 1968 to July 1969. I recall being at LZ Stinson, Baldy, Gator and Professional. I was on R&R in Hong Kong when LZ Professional was overrun, I think in April or May of 69. I re-joined the unit I think at LZ Bowman? It's been a long time - hard to recall. Peace be with you all.

Hello all of you wonderful veterans. My name is Cindy born on Guam in April 8, 1967. My mothers name is Digna Duenas Benevente. She may go by the name Didang or Dina. I am searching for my father. I don't know much about him. All I know is that his name is Tom last name begins with an S, He has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He was about 18 or 19 yeard old when he meet my mother who worked in a club on Guam and use to double date with her cousin Rosita and another marine name John. My mother stated he was from PA. I am pretty sure this man would have been in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967 or longer according to my older sisters his late name may have started with a Sch and he use to help her with her home work. My mother lived in Sinajana and he use to alway talk to the lady next door, but she has passed on 8 year before my search. They use to drive to Inarajan together to visit my grandparants, he drove a volkswagon buggy. My mother was reluctant to give me anymore information when my step father had pasted, thinking, I would leave her. My mother has past away in 2000 with cancer. I know there is very little to go on here, and it may not even be correct, but if there is anyone who could help me, it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.


Cindy in search for medical reasons.
