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.

My husband was at Cu Chi on Feb 26 1969. I'm looking for information about a huge attack on the base on that date. He was in the motor pool when it was over run with VC. That was the day that about 9 huge helicopters were destroyed. I'm looking for anyone who was in the motor pool, or knew about the motor pool attack, and about tunnels found later on the base. We are working on a PTSD claim based on that incident. Thank you very much.

I started researching the Vietnam War in high school and have continued to do so off and on since. I appreciate the truth in the facts that are available on this site. It makes my job as a teacher much more honest and effective.
To the Vets, there are no words that are appropriate for what needs to be said. A simple thank you is not enough and yet that is all I have.
Thank you - and take care.

Great site, especially with the rise in interest concerning those of us who served in country. I was with Motor T-FLSG-A in DaNang and then Red Beach in 1966-67. Transferred to 2ndBn/3rdMarines in Dong Ha in 1967 and left country on the USS Bayfield. Assigned to 3rd FSR Okinawa until July of 1967 and then to 29 Palms.
