My name is Beatrice and I am trying to find anyone who may have known my brother while he served as a Marine (grunt?) in Vietnam. His name was John Arthur, he was actually killed in Los Angeles, not too long after returning from Vietnam. Initially when he was sent over he was what i would consider "ground fodder" and before he left for home he was piecing bodies together for body bags. Any and all information is much appreciated. All I know is he trained at MCRD and left from Camp Pendleton. My family would not discuss it and died before I could question anyone further. I want to know who may have spoken to him and what he may have been like. I know my father brutally abused him prior to forcing him to join the Marines and serve in Vietnam so perhaps he wasn't the friendliest of people? I wish to know more. Thanks muchly, Beatrice [email protected]

I love your site.
I am a daughter of a Vet. My father was killed in Vietnam in November of 1966 James W. Bruhn. I am also the mother of 2 children from Vietnam. My husband and I adopted our daughter and son who are so beautiful. We went there to get them so we got to visit the land that my father was killed in. I know it may sound weird but I believe with my father was watching over my two children before we got there. Vietnam is a beautiful country. Our daughter is from Hanoi we got her in July of 99 and our son is from Nha Trang we got him in February of 2003. Please let us know of any travels to Vietnam in 2006 or later we would appreciate it.

I served with the Navy Civic Action Program in DaNang (Naval Support Activity & Naval Support Activity) from April 1969 to November 1970. Also a member of the Navy CAP unit for a short time. I was a SK3 in-charge of procuring all the supplies and services needed for over 100 Civic Action Projects, 85 men and 3 funds. Most of us lived in VAT Teams (Village Assistance Teams ) in and around the DaNang area with the civilian population. They usually were manned by 3 or more men and on some teams we also had a corpsman and surgical capabilities. It was probably the most dramatic, exciting and life changing experience I have ever been thru.

I was a Marine with Charlie CUPP near LZ Ross. It was the CUPP furthest from Ross just across the small river. I was injured in a fire fight just before I was to rotate home. I never got to say goodby to my fellow Marines and friends, Mike Grimmer, Al, Tucker, Buzz, Sgt. Harris and John Kelly. If any of you read this please contact me via E-mail address listed. I would love to hear from you. Semper fi - John (Boo-Boo) Rumsey

I was just wondering if there is anyone who served with my father, Lyn Pompper. He doesn't talk much about it, but I believe he was 1st division, 5th regiment, 1st batallion of the Marines. He served in 1969 in An Hoa and at Liberty Bridge. I know he would love to hear from anyone who was there with him, so please email me.
