Phil Napoli from Brooklyn wrote on March 24, 2021 at 9:59 pm

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].

Please check out our website at http://userhome.brooklyn.cuny.edu/pnapoli/vietnam/vn_frameset.html or our yahoo group at Napolivietnam

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.

I have adopted a missing American Hero, his Name: Wilfredo D. Singson Rank/Branch: US Marine Corps Unit: -/- Date of Birth: -/- Home City of Record: -/- Date of Loss: 28 January 1968 Country of Loss: South Vietnam Loss Coordinates: -/- Status (in 1973): AWOL Category: -/- Acft/Vehicle/Ground: Ground Refno: -/- Other Personnel in Incident: (none missing) REMARKS: NOT ON OFFICIAL LISTS. For instance, the Marine Corps does not maintain a missing fileon Wilfredo D. Singson, reported missing January 28, 1968. Although he did not appear on 1973 lists, in 1980, the Defense Department listed Singson as AWOL - Absent Without Leave. His story and his fate are unknown. All this sounds "unbelievable" for me! If someone who read this and can help to bring light into the darkness of Wilfredo Singerson?s military existence, please be kind to contact me. There MUST be someone who knew him, from Bootcamp, same Unit, Division, or Platoon. EVERY INFORMATION WILL BE APPRECIATED! Thank you in advance, "SEMPER FI"
