I served with Advisory Team 33 in Ban Me Thout from Nov thru Nov 65. I knew well the missionaries that served there. I and several members of the team would go to their home on Sunday evenings for vesper services. Our small PX was the only one in the Central Highlands and maybe Viet Nam that stocked baby formula. Since the civilian families could not use the facility we would purchase the formula and give it to the family that had had a newborn. I have several photos of the families and remember them well. Are there any former members of Team 33 still out there. I have tried to make contact over the last several years with no result.

I served with the 9th Infantry Division,Company C,5th Battalion,60th Infantry. I was wounded at Fire Base Cudgel on November 18th, 1967. My wounds were serious enough to send me home,I therefore lost contact with my fellow veterans who fought that night. Would like to hear from those who were there.
