I didn't serve in Vietnam, my father and my grandfather did. My father used to tell me about it at times. He was a Marine. When i was just a kid, 9 or 10, i didn't know what it meant to be a Marine and now i learn about it and hear about it and i am so proud of him. I just wanted to say to all the veterans out there, that i am so proud of you and I thank you with all of my heart for serving in the war for us. My father just recently passed away and before he left us, he used to tell me and Shannon not to ever join (cause we were actually interested) he was scared that we wouldn't survive and he didn't want us to experience what soldiers go through. He had agent orange and so many other health problems. I miss him very much and I appreciate him and all of you who fought in the war so much now that he is not with us anymore. Thank you, all of you, once again who are fighting and have fought in the past wars. I love all of you. thanks. bye

Navy 65-68. Detached from NSA Danang 66-67 to an outfit that was a P.O.L. I have been trying to find any information on that unit for quite some time. It was located on hill 33 near the entrance to happy valley. We guarded barrole]s of fuel and oil. My memory is very shaded obout that time. The guys called me the hulk because of the drawing on the back of my flack jacket. I am looking for anyone that remembers that unit. Please contact me. The few names I remember from that time are Swed, adams, and Kennedy (who was the NCO in charge of my watch. The 3rd Marine motor batt was accross the hill from us and we sometimes could get a hot meal from them. I think the 1st armored was between us and the out skirts of danang. To our east we could see hill 327 accross the rice paddies. I was hurt and sent down to the hospital at Red beach. Please. If anyone remembers me or the place I described please contact me . Thanks. bob Wallace

Served in 1970 with 204th Military Intelligence Detachment, Interrogation Section, out of XXIV Corps HQ at Camp Horn, DaNang. Most memorable experience of my life. A beautiful country and people. Hoa Binh (Peace) to all who served.

I served with the 45th Millitary Intelligence Detachment [1st Military Intelligence Battalion (Air Reconnaissance Support)] from May '68 until May '69. My unit was located in Phu Bai (at Camp Hochmuth); and our billets were situated about 100 meters from the XXIV Corps HQ (formerly 'Provisional Corps Vietnam'). Sometime near the end of my tour, the 45th MID was re-named 'E Detachment'.

Does anybody out there know where I can find any records of mortar, rocket, or ground attacks that occurred during the time I was there in Phu Bai?
I need documentation in support of a PTSD claim I have filed with the VA; and, frankly, my memory is next to useless.

Thanks for any help.

I was in Company D, 52nd Engineering in the army. We got off at Cam-Ran Bay for 2 or 3 weeks, then on to Phan Rang, Vietnam for the remainder from September, 1965 - 1966. We went over on the Blatchford. I was a truck driver, concrete finisher, and a crane operator. High Note trained me to run a crane. Anyone in this same unit at this time, contact me.

Assembly Call
I can see their faces clearly
as I walk along this wall
These brace young men and women
who answered Assembly Call

I hear their mornfull whispers
and the tears well up inside
As I ask the Lord above me
why they not me had died

If I could have one moment
I'd tell them one and all
How proud I was to serve with them
while answering Assembly Call

Let Us Never Forget and be Forever Thankfull
