It is 38yrs. ago today that my Brother was killed in Vietnam. I sit here with tears streaming down my face. It still hurts so bad. His name Robert (Bob) Bigelow. He was killed at Quang Tri on Sept. 12th 1967. He was a Marine, and so proud to be one. Golf Co. 3rd Plt. If ANYONE remembers him, I would love to hear from you. Please contact me at e-mail address [email protected]
His loving Sister, Chickie

Greetings, Served witrh the SEABEES in Vietnam as an EO3 with Fuel & Water, Public Works, NSA Danang from 02/69 thru 02/70. Yep, Camp Tien Sha Barracks 39 - or Club 39 as we knew it - was my home. Fuel & Water's duty shack was in the far southwest corner of China Beach where all the trucks were parked. I believe there is now a very large and luxurious resort at the former China Beach installation. Oh well.

Welcome Home

A correction & addition to 1st posting; my hometown at time of enlistment was Oceanside, Ca. Yeah yeah...I was a Marine Brat of a retired Marine. I joined the Seabees under their "Direct Procurement Petty Officer" program, aka "Instant Petty Officer." I had considered joining the Marines, but my dad, SSGT. Wendell Blodgett USMC Ret. (a 3 war vet including the Chosin Reservoir) said to me "...you're going to do what to my Marine Corps." As it was I spent some time with his old unit in Vietnam..7th Engineers USMC. Semper Fi ...

Thank you for this site. I had a cousin who served in the marines, his name was Bernard Merle Shattuck, he died nov 6 1967, drowned while at a rest area. I was hoping maybe somebody might had known him. or was there when it happened. i was told by from a co-worker who remembers the currant sucked several soldiers under and the area was closed off. The death took place in the Quang Nam DMZ. I only knew bernard as a very young kid, he was nicked named BUN. I would like to hear from any of his fellow marines, maybe share some pictures they might have of him as a marine. I have no idea what unit he was assigned too. thanks for all and any help. And THANK YOU ALL who served in the Viet Nam. (ret army)

Howard Taylor from Walnut Cove wrote on March 24, 2021 at 9:59 pm
My father, Howard Franklin Taylor, was in the army and served in the Vietnam War. I'm almost 27 years old and know very little about what he was like or what he did while he was there because he never talked about it. I assume this is because he is uncomfortable with it, so if anyone knew my father please email me.
