Good bud Tony Martorano stayed behind, got the pictures. Retired Air Force in 1977. A long list of draft dodgers now running our country. Don't count on any long wars we initiate

I made several trips to LZ Sally and changed engines out for the 101st gun ships. I left the 339th November 1968. Any one that was in the 339th drop me a line

Comments: Bob Sharton suffered PTSD from 1970 until July 28, 2003 when he called 911. He told the dispatcher he was going to shoot himself. He gave them his address. "The front door is unlocked. Please get here before my wife gets home."
He was an AmTrac Repairman in late 68 and early 69, but saw lots of patrol (point man, etc) duty. His best friend had his head blown off right in front of him. Bob suffered severe mightmares for the past 20 years. He couldn't erase that scene from his memory. He killed 15 different VC in hand to hand. A sensitive guy, he always wondered about their mothers, their wives, etc. He was in H&S Co 2/7. 9th MAB. I am looking for men from his unit. He fought in Taylor Common and also with the South Vietnamese in Victory Dragon VII, VIII, and IX.

Comments:  Great pic's. I just got through reading the entire guess book for people I may have known at Monkey Mountain (I was there 1965-1967. The place changed quite a bit from what I remember. The road to China Beach & Danang wasn't paved back then. I remember having to go 1/2 way up the mountain to shovel the sand out of the water resevoir and taking a dip too to cool off. Didn't mean to ramble!!! Great site

Comments: Was in USMC from 2Jun67-3May73. Served in country from Mar69-Sept69 at HHC,FLC,Camp Books. I remember it well when the ammo dump blew up during Jul69 I believe. The explosions went off for a couple of days. It leaveled Dog Patch. I was shocked at your photo's,the one showing the main road with the jeep making a turn. I can almost see the hootch I lived in. Also if you go all the down the road toward the perimter to the fence. The last building on the right is were I worked. It was the Clubs storage warehouse. Hope some of my old duddies may see this. Thanks for the web-site. Semper Fi Sam Gill

Comments:  Tien Sha. Deepwater Piers. Monkey Mountain. Na Hien Dong. Ferry Landing. Red Beach. Bookoo dinky dow GI-could it be 35 years already? September '68 I was TAD at Tien Sha, after that tried to get into Harbor Patrol (great water skiing), but ended up in VAT 9 Civic Action Division. We lived off base in a rented house on ferry landing road till we got overrun in a massive ground offensive in May of '68 and got pretty shot up. I caught a mortar round and some burns but our team go out mostly intact. No such luck for the Marines down the road from us. They were ambushed and wasted within eyesight while fighting to get to us. They just don't get any braver. Anyway, it is bittersweet to see the peninsula again.

Enjoyed viewing the pictures of Camp Tien Sha, China Beach, Deep Water Piers brought back many memories, "it was just a moment ago..", ha. I worked at the White Elephant for the Freight Terminal Section, 2nd floor from 1967 to 1968 Worked with a bunch of good people Storekeeper's, Yeoman, Radioman and department officers. I treasure the friendship, the work experience (on-the-job training for future casual overtime), and the friends I associated with at work (3:00 P.M to 3:00 A.M.) Again, thanks for allowing us all to view and search for old friends with such ease.
