I was born in Nha Trang in 1967. I was adopted when I was 5, into a military family (father -american, mother - Japanese). My name is supposedly Chinese, and my passport states I was in a Chinese neighborhood. I am not 'seriously' thinking it would be possible to find my mother, but I would like to get close to the area.

I am planning my first trip back to Vietnam with my husband. I don't know what resources are out there for assistance (just to know more about the bases where I know my biological mother worked)... My adopted father has limited knowledge, as he was an Naval officer and did not spend a lot of time in Vietnam, except to look for a child to adopt.

Any assistance would be great! Contact me at [email protected]

I am a 41 yr old civilian, born summer 1964, when many Americans at war in Vietnam, watched war every night on our television news, 1970s saw first vietnamese girl in my 5th grade class[learned later teachers were pacifists, and war protesters] My initial feelings for this girl was enemy, and am certain had she been a boy there would be a fight. As the school year went on I became very fond of Christian Nyugen, here sincere sweetness, and her look of friendliness were impossible to ignore, I never sawher again after that school year, but have always remembered her. I will travel to Saigon on Sept 11 2005, the purpose of my trip is soley to honor Americans who went to war for America. I will go there only for your honor. I love you all, you are truely Americas heroes. I have heard that the Viets who helped Americans during the war suffer abuse and are outcasts today. I will hope to find this person and show him American hospitality. I will do this in the name of the Americans who promised to help them. I will wear my Flag, and I will ask if anyone knows about American service men missing in Vietnam, as i have said I am a civilian, I am the baby that you were protecting and fighting for so many years ago..God bless you all, every last one of you

My name is Beatrice and I need your help. My brother served in Viet Nam and I want/must speak to anyone who befriended him and/or knew him well while you served there. He was not killed until he returned home from VietNam but he meant the world to me. Please contact me if you knew John G. Arthur. Born in Ancon, Panama Canal Zone. He entered the Marine Corp. on 9/8/1963. I only know of his LAST assignment and unsure of the rest. Last assignment CoL3dBn 27thMar

I am very interested to know the whereabouts and contact number of LTC Albert R Perkins. It has been 36 years since I last saw him in Cam Ranh Bay, South Vietnam. We worked together with MACCORDS. I would just like to know if there is someone here who can give me his whereabouts. I hope I could still get in touch with him.

Thank you.



Very truly yours
