Appreciate the web site...dad served at Monkey Mountain and I grew up hearing stories, and feeling a sense of pride for our nation "Under God". It's sad when an 8-year old knows that Jane Fonda should have been exiled from our country for treason (see Webster's def.)It's sad that most of the younger generations (troops my age) don't know what she did in Nam (or DIDN'T do...i.e. support OUR troops). Much love to the troops serving in Operation Just Cause.

I was an E4 with the Air Force at Da Nang from 1967 to 1968. I went TDY to Nha Trang during the Tet Offensive. I remember the names Lenny Hagen, Thalman, Brucato, and DJ Lannon who went to Germany after his tour in Vietnam.
I witnessed the crash of a Marine F4 on Dec 25, 1967. I heard the conversation between the crew and tower while testing the radio in an F4. I watched from the F4 I was working on as this all unfolded right in front of me. They were making an arrested landing and something happened to the cable. They tried taking off again but flamed out. Both crew members punched out at low altitude and wrong attitude. The co-pilot landed in his seat without his chute opening and died. The pilot's chute just opened before hitting the ground and he survived. The aircraft continued on out of control and landed on the Marine side of the base. As far as I know no one was hurt on the ground.
I want to say THANKS to all the guys manning the perimeter of the base during my tour.

I have a special request. My friend, a former 1st Lt., U.S.M.C., Nam 67-69, has created a very special musical arrangement. I know he would be thrilled if you would consider it a gift to you, his brothers. Please go listen at the above homepage url. It will only take you a few minutes. If you have the time, please send him an email to let him know you listened and what your thoughts are. This soldier has CHF and may not have much more time with us. His email can be found at the bottom of his page, but if you cannot locate it, you can reach him at aj_james@hotmail.com or LafcadioLion@cajamnet.net
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I was stationed at Da Nang air base during 1972. To my suprise, I located five classmates from my class of 1968 were also in there. We represented all military service branches. We all got back safely, but Tim Haught, class of 1969 was killed in action. May God Bless those who served and their Families and Friends...Randall P. Winston, USAF, 1968-1972,

Looking for former crew members. Cohoes was taken out of mothballs in Tacoma, WA around 1967 and outfitted for salvage duties in Vietnam. She sailed to San Francisco and San Diego in January 1968, then to Hawaii, Kusaie, Ponape, Guam and Philippines. Her first tour to Danang and I-Corps was July 1968 where she operated under the Naval Support Activity, Danang, performing salvaging duties. I left the ship in Danang in February 1969.

I get tears in my eyes when I think of all the brave men who experienced the horror of the Vietnam war, and grow anger when thinking of how the U.S. citizens treated all of you. I thank you all for your bravery and want you to know that I have the utmost respect for each and every one of you. You are all still very appreciated and will never be forgotten.

I went to VIET-NAM in may of 1967.I was assigned to work at DEEP-WATER PIERS. As we were riding in a "CATTLECAR"[SEMI PULLING A CATTLE TRAILER full of 'LONGTIMERS"] on the way to CAMP TIEN-SHA from the airstrip, I saw a little old LADY[??] walking down the road wearing those bleck pajamas. Imagine my surprise to see her take a crap and shake it down her leg onto the road ! I knew right then that this had to be the scummiest place on the earth. I worked with many fine GI'S for a year at DEEP WATER PIER. We worked 12 on &12 off what seemed like forever. I know we had some time off,but don't remember when.My best and strangest memory is when we had a personnel inspection.[MUST HAVE BEEN A CHANGE OF COMMAND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT]The previous night ,which we had worked,we had dropped???? a pallet of hard liquor[supposedly going to the officers club]while prepareing it for shippment.Well, what are a bunch of guys supposed to do? We did the only honorable thing we could think of,WE DRANK ALL THE EVIDENCE......Well needless to say,none of us were in REAL GOOD SHAPE for inspection. The sober guys were making bets on whether we could stand in the hot sun through the inspection. Their advice? Don't breathe on the CAPTAIN. I am glad to see a site that HONORS all the FALLEN VETS and those of us who did our jobs and are living to tell about it! SMOOTH SAILING TO ALL

Do you recognize any of them?

With limited research skills, I've attempted to find specific info about my unit, 1st dental co, 1st medical co, 1st med bn, 1st mar div (fmf rein) west of da nang (1967). There's all kind of references, but none specific. It's like we never existed, but I have photos and a four-minute movie (video), and my memories. It seems that some of my buddies would have put out some feelers, because, in addition to providing dental and oral surgery work, and doing dental i.d.'s of kia's in graves, shit happened. One night, two choppers collided over our unit. Everyone in the CH-34 died when it crashed upside-down in the rice paddies just outside our perimeter. The rockets that hit the air base at midnight in July, 1967 came from behind us. The generators kept breaking down. Lots of shit happened. Then it rained, and rained, until I said fuck it. The center piece that held the chopper's rotors landed outside my hooch. I hate it when some Vietnam Vets use the term REMF.

Just thought I would visit on behalf of my uncle who fought in world war II at Normandy and throughout the rest of it, Battle of the Bulge the Ardennes etc.
He died a little while back when I was younger and never talked too much about his experiences.
He was in the Fourth armored under Patton.

First of all, Hats off to all the men and women who gave their lives and / or their freedom to protect the freedom of others.
Next, the Discovery Channel just aired Wardogs, and I watched horrified to learn that the American military Powers That Be allowed all these noble beasts that saved untold American lives with their war efforts to be sacrificed (either given to the Vietman military remaining or put down).
While I now live abroad, I am an American citizen, and would like to learn what can be done to prevent this from ever happening again. I did not find a comment board on this website (this site is the only one mentioned at the end of the Wardogs program) nor did I find a link or specific information about this topic. Further information regarding the plight suffered by the animals who served with their very lives in Vietnam would be greatly appreciated, and my email address is listed.
Further, I listed Friend as the referring agency to my arrival on this site, but it was in fact the Credit at the end of the Wardogs program that got me here.
Finally, this site is impressive, and I found it to be very helpful. Thank you for its contents and maintenance. Rock on !! 8)

Great site. I was a QM3 on YOG 131 in the harbor from Aug. 69 to Apr. 70 when it was fixed up and given to the VNN. We made regular trips to Cua Viet (2 weeks out, 2 weeks back) and one trip to Chu Lai. Then I went south to Advisory Group N-35 until Aug. 70. Doesn't seem like 32 years ago, but I feel lucky to be getting older. Keep the Faith.

In the summer of 1971 I met a friend(MARINE) of a friend who had just returned from Vietnam. When this person was not directly engaged in conversation, he would gaze blankly ahead. I asked my friend as to why this person behaved this way. He simply said that his friend was a Marine in Vietnam. Seventeen years later, I found myself closing down the bar of a Denver hotel with five other guys. As we drank more and more beer around a table, the topic of conversation turned to Vietnam. It turned out that these guys, all from different parts of the U.S., were all Vietnam vets. As the conversation evolved, one of these guys related how he had to shoot children who were rolling unexploded U.S. ordinance at him down a hill. At that time, everyone broke down and put there arms around one another. Shocked, and embarrased that I was a participant in such an intimate experience that I had nothing to do with, I put my arms around the guys to my left and right, and I bowed my head as they cried. I then thought of the the marine I met in 1971. I understood as I had not before.

I served with the Marines both at FLC and also with Delta Company 1st MP Battalion. Am familiar with the all the areas were your pictures were taken. Enjoyed viewing your photos. As you know , there are not many photos out there of the areas in question. I have a personal web site with pictures taken at Red Beach in early 1970, that I think you will like.You will find the URL listed above. Also, if you do a search for "1st MP Battalion" you will find another web site with pictures taken when I served with Delta Company.
