I was 16 the year the war ended. My cousin, Richard Radford had recently returned from the war - a very changed young man. Within a few months, he died in a motorcycle accident. His is technically not a military death, but never the less, the war killed him. I have missed him every day from the moment he was deployed to South East Asia.

God Bless all who managed to survive, on both sides. God bless the good work you do.

I served in Viet Nam from 69-70 in the USN. I was first stationed at Tien Sha (outside DaNang), was transferred to the Sand Ramp at Chu Lai, and ended up back at Tien Sha. I left country in July '70. I actually retired from the USAF in '91. I currently work at the Milwaukee VA in the outpatient mental health clinic and have quite a few of our brothers on my case load. I stumbled across this web site just surfing the web and plan to learn more and, if possible, lend a hand.

It's been 40 years and I'm just now starting to deal with the memories - I was with the 586th Siginal Co. attached to the 1st Air Calvery stationed in An Kha.1965 / 1966 - We brought our colors over with us.
Monmouth County in New Jersey just had an awards cermony giving the Vietnam Vets the NJ Vietnam Service Medal and the NJ Distinguished Service Medal. Some how its a little to late but that was then and this is now - We all have to move on. God bless

hi, im a Vietnames/australian/american 14 yr old and I thank you for this site! Its tremendous accurate and not only that, its true. Thank you also for recognizing that Vietnam may be a name that brings to mind the prodigious affliction involved with war; but it is also a name that refers to the price people would pay for freedom, and the price people continue to pay. And that Vietnam is actually a nation with culture and people, with heart-that its not just an era of pain.THx again so much!;)

Hi. I was a Avionics tech assigned to VMA(AW)225 in DaNang in late 70-early 71. Got assigned to Special Services to operate the library at mainside near the chow hall. Special Services ran the movie theater, boxing smokers, basketball tourneys and the weight room, as well as the tape trailer (reel-to-reel to cassete or 8 track were our specialty). Hope all you guys are well. Taught english to the Catholic school kids out in town (Ben Hua?) a few times. I remember the kids were too bashful and embarrassed to speak their lessons. Will not forget the smell of burning latrines.
