It took me nearly 20 years to start getting rid of serious PTSD symptoms and 10 more years to be totally at peace. I am a patriot and I love this country. God has blessed me a lot in my life. I plan to go back to Nam later this year. Gerald

Comments: I'm 22 and have no connection (at least not one that I'm aware of) to any of the Veterans of the Vietnam War. And sadly, what I know about the war itself is only what I read in a high school text book. But recently I watched a marathon of re-runs of the television series, "China Beach", and I got to thinking. So since then I've read about lots of personal stories from men and women who served in Vietnam and I find myself experiencing a rollor-coaster of emotions. The words "right and wrong" didn't use their traditional definitions over there, did they? I can't pretend to truly understand what soldiers, doctors, nurses, civilians, etc. were forced to experience, deal with, and then eventually (hopefully) overcome. But I can only say that this 22-year-old girl (who is from a generation that I believe does NOT honor their veterans enough) is sincerely grateful to and unshamefully proud of those who served during the Vietnam War. I feel honor through you all, whether living or perished. Thank you.

Thank you for seeing to it that so many have a voice. Only in the last few 3 or 4 years have I been able to face what the war did to me and my family and have begun to write about it and paint about it. It is a great catharsis. If you wish visit my website and read the poem and see the painting entitled AWOL {Absent Without Our Leave)I hope others will visit yours and experience a healing from it. My art is dedicated to the wives and children who stayed at home and waited for you all to return.

Comments: Hello Brother! Found your web site while looking for sites for K-9 Scout Dogs. I was in the Navy and stationed at Camp Tien Sha 1969-1970 and worked Deep Water Piers. Had a K-9 Scout Dog named Duchess. Several freinds from Jacksonville also stationed at Deep Water Piers/Camp Tien Sha. I really enjoyed the pictures and seeing the old places. Boom Boom Rock was a riot. Good shots of Camp Tien Sha from Monkey Mountain. Cannot believe all this time has passed. I still get flashbacks of the place and all that happened. Guess we were lucky to get out alive. One morning, I took Duchess and drove to the piers. Looked like Sunday morning. 50% of our Vietnamese workers killed the nite before at Bridge Ramp trying to blow up ammo. Found 'em w/ NSA passes on still on the bodies. Regards, Brother, drop line if you can,,,Bill Hutchinson

Comments: I felt compelled to express my gratitude and appreciation to all who have served in Vietnam. I am 23 years old and have no ties with any who have served in the war. I have recently been intrigued by the different facets of the war in Vietnam (i.e. war crimes, operations) but what tugs at my heart the most are the personal accounts of horror and fright that the young men had to go through during this time in their lives. There is nothing that I can say that will ever take away the scars of the past but what I do want to add is that I feel your deep pain. As I read the personal accounts of various individuals I can't help but to feel your agony in that dark hour of your lives. I deeply sympathize with you all and feel compelled as an American to say, "I am sorry!" I do hope that God grants you a peace that transcends all understanding and may your deeds be remembered forever throughout history.

In our studies we have dealt a lot with the problems faced by Veterans, and I would like to say best of luck with solving them. You may not have been understood for many years, but people are beginning to understand you now, and appreciate what you did.

Comments: TDY at Da Nang air strip Jan 1962 - June 1962. We built the Team 1A, 6920th Security Wing compound just east of the mainstrip in Jan 1962. The Air strip was Gravel!! Came in on C124's from Clark Air Base with load of diesel Generator's and semi trailers. Inside the compound were two generators, two semitrailers ( one comm, one intercept) some humongous antenna's. we were just West of the main USAF tent camp. eventually, we did get out of base-- we all purchased bicycles. Some wild rides back to camp to beat the shooting curfew at 2200. Hey, we were there when Bars were dark and had no front walls. Talked to a few vets that were there later-- all reference points had changed.

Comments: To whom ever is the owner of this web page, i must commend you on a job well done. In all actuality i was looking for stories about Vietnam because i have a 7 page-oral-essay on a peice of history and i figured that the only war i didn't know a lot about was Vietnam. ( i should let you know i'm still in high school.)The oral part is also allowed to be done via email. I'm not well connected to anyone who has been to Vietnam or in the war, so i guess i am asking you if it is all right if i could interview you about the war and the things that took place there. If it's entirely all right with you of course. I'm asking you because out of all the other sights i have been to yours was done with an such profound images and stories that i figured you might be able to help me. If not then i understand. ANyhow. Thank you . _erin

Comments: This is a wonderful site. I have been looking for anyone who was in Vietnam in 1967-68. My brother was killed at Can Tho on Jan15, 1968. He was a civilain (air traffic controller) working at a heliport where they transported wounded. It is just like he disappeared . No one has seen or heard of him , I know he was killed because I saw what was left of him. Even though he was a civilain he gave his life to help our service men. He had been in Air Force. His name was Charles (Charlie) R. Kirkland, Jr. Big guy, dark curly hair. He was 33 years old. Any help would be appreciated. Diane Norton

Comments: I've looked at the guestbook several times a week for more than a year now, and I'm constantly impressed by the number of visitors who seem to be young people trying to find information on what Vietnam veterans endured. This is very heartwarming, indeed. I've noticed many of these visitors are seeking places to find more information. I've e-mailed many of them, but thought I'd post this link for others who might be curious. It is an interview with General Westmoreland I did for the American Legion Magazine two years ago. And for my fellow veterans out there who might be curious about what "The Boss" is up to these days, you might find it interesting, too. By the way, Westy is still alive and kicking -- at 87, he still takes daily walks around the Old Historic District in Charleston. Anyway, here's the link -- http://www.legion.org/pubs/1997/domino6.htm Anybody had the nerve to drink one of those nasty Ballentine's Beers in the last 30 years? That stuff was nombah ten!

Personally, i wonder if i would be so brave as to keep going on like the thousands of soldiers in Vietnam did; especially with my best friends dieing left and right. I say to everyone who served in this or any war thank you and may you be rewarded in some way for your deeds.

The Log has thus far collected names and service information of 245,000 present and former naval personnel. Most of the names are of living persons self-enrolled or by gift tributes from friends or families, but a large number are of deceased veterans enrolled in the Log by their descendants or by surviving shipmates. All enrollments form a part of America's enduring naval heritage, a permanent and publicly accessible video register available for viewing at the Naval Heritage Center next to the Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue, midway between the White House and the Capitol, or on the Memorial's Internet web site, www.lonesailor.org. Each Log entry contains the entrant's name, date and place of birth, dates and branch of naval service, highest rate or rank attained, up to five top medals and awards and five duty stations. Log enrollments help support the Memorial's values-based educational programs, which honor, preserve and celebrate America's enduring naval heritage. Sons and daughters desiring to enroll their mother or father should send his or her name, date and place of birth, dates of naval service, highest rate or rank, up to five awards received and five duty stations served accompanied by a $25 tax deductible enrollment donation to Navy Log Dept Y2000, P. O. Box 96570, Washington, DC 20077-7685. A head and shoulders portrait photo may be added for an additional $25 (photos cannot be returned). Enrollments make welcome gifts to veterans. Sponsored enrollments are also sought from relatives of deceased naval veterans. The Navy Memorial Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt organization that receives no government support for building and operating the Navy Memorial or the Naval Heritage Center next to the Memorial. ### Media contact: Jann Hoag (202) 737-2300, ext. 714
