I spent 30 months in Vietnam with the 1stBn, 11thMarines, 107mm Mortar platoon. We were everywhere from Danang north. My tour was from April 1967 to December 1970. During the Tet Offensive of 1968 our unit was split and some went to Hue City and others to Khe Sahn. We were also at A-3 (by Con Thien), Cua Viet, Quang Tri, Dong Ha, and many more places including making beach assaults off the U.S.S. Cleveland onto Barriers Island. I would love to correspond with any that remember me. It has been a long time and some names have been forgotten but all faces are imbedded in my mind forever.

I was in Nam from oct ' 68- sep ' 69 . It's been a while so I've forgotten so many things . First of all I even forgot the trans co I was with , in Long Binh .
If you was with me and recall this incident ; We were TDY'd down Saigon when Long Binh got hit . We were watching the fire works from our balcony in the hotel we were staying in . The next morning , we were sent back to Long Binh to re- leaved those guys who fought Charlie all that night before . That night we got shelled from our own Artillery that was located by the 90th replacement center or maybe by Bein Hoa Airfield . If you remember any of this please drop me a line .

How odd to first find this site on January 30.It is six PM' here in michigan so it is 6 AM on the 31, in VietNam. Thirty eight years ago tonight the Tet Offensive began. I had just gotten out of the hospital at Pendleton and had reported to 2/13 on 1/20/68

I had volunteered to go back to VietNam on the 22nd with anticipated pre deployment leave. On the morning of 2/1/68 we had orders at 0800 and wheel up out of El Torro at 1235. Back to VN. As I sit here typing I remember the men who we left behind.Samoan, Frenchy and others. I was in country for a very long time. I can't say that I loved it but I never hated it. I was a corpsman with the marines and I never felt more comradship than with the marines. thirty one months total service in country with "my boys" may those who made it feel welcome home and those who didn't Semper Fi.
