My brother was in the U. S. Marines in Vietnam. His records were lost. He has been able to prove he was in the service during that time period but he has been unable to prove he was in Vietnam. He was a mechanic on guns & vehicles so he didn't get a combat service ribbon. A bunker fell in on him so his service connected injury was not during fighting so he didn't get a purple heart. He was in a camp just outside or on the edge of DaNang. I am trying to figure out some way to prove his service there. Hoped someone reading this would recognize his name - Dwight Christopher - and contact me. If their records have been proven and they remember him, that might be helpful.
Thanks.

Thank you! Your website gave me a real insight as to what my father and his generation dealt with instead of being kids. As a student I have a better understanding of the price for freedom and what is really going on in the world today.

Looking for anyone who might have served with the Air Force in 1969 in Phan Rang with 35th Combat Support Group. Or anyone that can point me to an information source. I am trying to assist my Grandmother in Law in finding evidence that her husband served in Viet Nam in 1969. Name was Ambrose Stevens Crowe.

Drafted in 1968 and served as Classified Documents Clerk (PFC, SP4 & SP5) with the HHC, 18th Engr. Brigade @ Dong Ba Thin from Jan 1969 to Dec 1969. Wondering about how some of my old buddies are these days and where they are at. Also wonder about Thim and Hai, how things went for them after US left, and what has gone one with them over the years. I live in Kentucky these days. If any of this rings a bell with you, send me a note. Donnie

Three of my brothers served in the Vietnam War and came back. I being the youngest joined at the end of the war and served 10 years active duty and reserve time. I never was called to war and wondered if I would of faced it with the heroic ways of my brothers. I recently had to deal with my own daughter being sent to war. She was assigned to a combat support hospital that saw alot. She says little of her year helping to save the lives of these brave men and woman. I just want her to know that I am so very proud of her.
