injoyed your web site,i was stationed at marable mountain oct 66 and 67.I was with the 3rd battalion 1st marines.Also i dont know if any of you know there was a hill 10 right near crows nest that i spent 4 months with 3rd battalion guarding the hill there,the beach was only a stone throw away from us, i was a wireman 2531 mos and we layed down the first wire communications in that area we put the wire on bamboo poles and wired all the way thru the village of nui kim son and further on the msr road.when i look at your pictures of marble mountain i was walking thru those caves constantly every week because i was stationed on hill 10 and ew would trouble shoot all the wire lines in that area besides holding down the hill 10 area at night.i was 19 at the time and very naive about the vc in the village and in marble mountain.how mant times my marine buddies went into the mountains where the buddas were and we didnt even no there were hospitals right in the mountains ,but it was a great experince and wonder if you realize that i was probably one of the first marines to establish communications in that area there was nothing when my battalion first got their, just marble mountain that dirt road with one house with sandbags that leads to the village of nui kim son and crows nest where we had the 106 topped on crows nest.i remember that 106 rifile going off at night as the marines shot at somethihg on the river , what memories they were i know i talked alot on your site but marable mountain crows nest hill10 were part of my life and always will be.thanks tony

Looking for anyone I served with in the units. Its been tough at times but not as tough as some of the vets have had it. Married to a good woman for 25 years put up with a lot of crap from me. god bless all the vets who have been through hell and are still living it every day in one way or the other.
As Genterl Harold Moore said in his boom "I will never forgive my self for living while so many of my men died". Know what you mean

I am trying to find out information about my grandfather. He was called Willie Dee Renchie and he was born in texas. He was afro american and would have been 22-24 years of age whilst he was in vietnam. He was part of the USAF and I believe he was ground personel. In 1963 he was posted in Tripoli. Any information would be a huge help. Please E-Mail with anything. No matter how insignificant. My E-Mail address is [email protected]

First off, let me thank each and every soldier that went to Vietnam. I'm only 25 years old, but I've heard horror stories about things that happened when the soldiers returned. I want to commend each and every one who went and fought. You all are my heros. Thank you.
Secondly, I am looking for any information on my Uncle. He served in the Vietnam war, but doesn't like to talk about it. I really would like to know about him, about his experiences. His name is Tony Sullivan, and he now resides in Louisiana and always has, as far as I know.
If you have any information on him, please email me.
There are no words that could ever express how much you all have sacrificed for this great country.
Bless you all.

First tour in Nam was Mar 69 to Aug 70. Served with 121 Sig Bn , !st Inf . Second tour was with F Trp, 9th Cav , 1st Cav Div. 71 - 72. I think about my tours and wonder what my ol buddies are doing now. I can't remember too many names but I still see faces. I seem to think about it a lot lately. Guess I'm getting old. God Bless all the Viet Nam Vets and peace be with those still walking the jungles of Nam.

Jim was a Sgt E5 in the Army who served with the 59th Field Service from November '67 - May '69. He's looking for anyone who served with him in Pleiku or Cam Ranh Bay. Then he "got" to go back to Ban Methout in November '69 and got out of the service May 24, 1970. Heck, he's looking for anyone who remembers him. Give him a call.
