I served in the 101st, HHQ CO. 1970-71 as an Air Traffic Controller out of Eagle Tower and spent a few months at Khe Sahn during Lom Sahn 719 with the GCA unit. Recently I was searching for something and came upon just these few lines from this site:
"My dad was in Vietnam and died when i was 2. I would like to learn ... After a short
time training as an air traffic controller at HHQ 101st Airmobile Division ... "
I could not find anymore than that even after I searched the entire site, which by the way looks great. Hopefully someone can connect the dots because I would really like to read the entire post.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Philip Napoli. I am an assistant professor at Brooklyn College. I am looking for Vietnam veterans and/or their family members from New York City who would be willing to participate in an oral history project. This oral history aims to supplement the "official" record of events with the memories of the little guy, the person who did not necessarily make the big decisions, but was affected by them anyway, and saw the influence of the War on the City.

I am interested in talking with veterans, of course, but also the husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters whose lives were changed by the events surrounding the Vietnam War, and would like to talk with you.

I have collected approximately 83 interviews from Vietnam Veterans all over New York City, and would like to find another 20 volunteers willing to sit and talk with me. Any assistance you can provide will help to preserve the memories of our Vietnam Veterans.

For more information you can call us at 718.951.4539, during our office hours on Tuesday, Thursday 9-4 or email us at [email protected].

I served in Vietnam from June 1969 to March 1970. My unit was the 523rd Signal Batallion of the Americal Division, which operated out of bases in the I Corps area of Quang Naih provence. I spent the majority of my tour of duty on the ARVN base LZ Dragon which was just South of Mo Duc and just North of Duc Pho. I would like to hear from anyone American or ARVN who served on the LZ during that period of time.

I spent about 26 months in-country with Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group, Det Alfa. I was a motion picture combat cameraman and worked out of TanSon Nhut but was deployed all over RVN from the DMZ to the Delta and from the South China Sea to Cambodia. Entered Vietnam first time in May 1966 and left it for the last time in early 1972. Saw that war from build-up to Vietnamization. Glad I wasn't there for the fall of the country.
