I am trying to find anyone that knew my uncle. Tony Kalbli was an officer with the Infantry during Vietnam. If you can tell me anything I would appreciate it. I know nothing about what he did and am interested in learning. His wife and I are trying to confirm all his awards that he never recieved (3 Bronze Stars Air medal etc). Thank You

I flew patrols in operation Market Time on the coast and in the Mekong Delta. I earned the air medal for over fifty combat missions. This was during 64,65,and 66. When I came home I was unable to adjust and found myself in trouble. I ended up going back in 68&69 as a civilian. I am just now getting my shit togeather with the help of the Lord. amen. Manuel

This is for my uncles MERLE RONNIE CAPPS and CHARLES DENNIS CAPPS they were twins and estabilished radio contact on the ROCKPILE they were based in San Diego California. My uncle Ronnie died of cancer in 1997 and his brother Dennis Capps is dieing of Agent Orange. I wish that someone who remembers them can maybe give me a little insight to what it was like for them. They served 1 tour and went 2 more after that. I miss uncle Ronnie and uncle Dennis he is out on ambush.....I guess the war in vietnam isn't over until it is over.

I was in the Navy during 1973 on A0-53 an oiler on a tour to VN and surrounding countries. It was a wild time and not one of my better experiences.
(ring a bell?)
I became a believer at the age of 34, worked in various ministries as a buss pastor, ministry assistant, and missionary work. Since that time I have become an atheiest, explaining everything away in a cultural, social way What has brought me to that place is the power struggles of social groups and the pressures to conform to a groups thinking. Just recently I was verbally attacked, in part for linking to VN history in your site, and given the demeaning "I'll say a prayer" followed by another verbal attack.

I am distressed at the public's failure to remember our backing out of the U.S. support of Ho Chi Minh back in 1945 that likely would have prevented the loss of 8 million lives in the area. I hope it doesn't happen again.

I want to say, althou I don't share your beliefs in G-d, I do believe your walk in caring for the people is to be commended. It is refreshing to find people who try to make a differenc. I honor this organization.

My Husband Cpl Rodney Lane was stationed at Marble Mtn. and Quang Tri. He was a door gunner in a Huey with MAG16. He also worked on the ejection seats of the OV-10A, he was also with VMO-2 & VMO-6. He was in Nam 68-69. I was wondering if any one out there might remember him. I am also trying to find a Capt. Bible who was the crew chief on his huey. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My dad, Jim Dupler, born 1947, has been missing for about a year and 1/2. I think he served around 65-68, but he never would discuss it much. He played drums in a band for the army, which I believe did a little bit of touring. If you knew/know of him, please, contact me, I miss him. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

I am a history major and have been studying a LOT on the Vietnam war lately and am amazed at how underappreciated the vets of Vietnam are. You guys were doing your duty and it is horrible that people downsize your service. Anyway, I have done a ton of research as I have said, but nothing is better then personal stories from those who were there. I am trying to write a book about the timeline of the war; pre, during and after and how your life changed personally, so if there is anyone out there willing to share their very personal stories, I would be GREATLY appreciative! E-mail me at [email protected].
Thank you SO much for your service!

I was never in country but served two tours in Thailand in direct support. 1968-69 Nakon Phanom RTAB, Task Force Alpha and 1972-73 in the same building but it had changed to USSAG. The war was almost over during this tour. I am sorry so many sacrificed so much for such a political reason.
