I was with the 526th CC&S C. feb.67,Sept 68 .Went all over VN on TDY . Been to ever place you can name, from Qui Nhon to DaNang. Got shot at on almost ever trip I took. That's a lot of the reason I can't remember half of it .The units changed names and numbers so fast my mail didn't catch up to me for 3 month. Any way I wonted to thank all the guys that welcomed me in when it was dark and Mr. Charles was out to get me, Maries, Airforce, and navy. Thanks for the hots &cots. If you happened to remember me let me know.

I was an officer with the 463rd Quartmaster (DS) Company (1st Log Command) in Qui Nhon from the spring of 1966 to the spring of 1967. Looking for contact from anyone in this unit or other 1st Log units during this time frame. Time has dulled many of the specifics of individuals and events but many do remain.

Was with the 41st. Engineer Army Dive team at Phu Coung Bridge Spring/Summer of 69. Very much appreciated the 25th. covering the bridge for us & keeping our butts safe. Does anyone remember the crane accident when two engineers were drowned as it overturned? We found one, the other was found about 3 days later downriver. A black guy named "Shorty." So many killed by just plain accidental. What a mess.

I was a grunt Marine about 50 miles south of DaNang in the bush outside of AnWah (spelling?). I was in country from May 1969 to August 1969.
I don't remember too much about the area other than they called it the Arizona territory at one time and I believe we were called Charlie company. I really don't remember too many people other than Coco, Bill M, and would only know a few others by their faces. I would like to get in contact with anybody that might still be alive. E-mail me if you know of any information I can use.

Anyone from the 119 AHC 52 CAB?? I am looking for anyone who served with WO1 James (Jim) Bosley....he was a pilot, A/C 'California Dreamer' (Gator 373). KIA in a crash not far from Jackson's Hole on September 2, 1967.

Jim was my father's best friend. They were actually like brothers; Jim was an orphan, and my family was the only one he ever had. He was the Best Man in my parents' wedding, and my special 'Uncle'. We still miss him and speak of him often. Anyone who knew him, please contact me.
