Comments: Welcome Home To ALL Vets That Served. I want to say that your Web Page was well put together. I was with Echo CO "B" 2/1 in 1969. I was only incountry for 6 months when I became disabled due to firefight while up in Quangtri in Sept. It was an experience I hope none of our children of today will have to face. For those of you who made it back home I salute all of you and for those MIA/KIA, They will alway's be within me forever. Thanks for letting me be part of your family. For anyone who might have been in that area or anyone wanting to chat please e-mail me at jabrit@ptd.net

Comments: My father is a Vietnam Veteran. Marine Corp. Served two tours of duty. He was a Seargent and an engineer. He has told me many times the dates of his time ther but I know for sure he was there 67-68. The reason I write this...I want to find a buddy of his that he lost contact with. I only know his name to be Jacobs from North Carolina(I believe) a colored man..half Cuban. My father's name is Allan Davenport. This is the first time I tried this and I want to see what kind of response I get. He doesn't know I'm doing this, that is why the details are sketchy. TO Jacobs; My father thinks and speaks of you often, I've seen photographs of the mural he had painted of you.

Comments: My cousin Greg Leach served in Vietnam. I was a little kid, and no one in my family knows anything about what he did, where he served - just a blank. I don't even know where he lives now. I hope he's OK. I got interested in Vietnam after seeing the movie "Who'll Stop The Rain". At that time, no one I talked to wanted to talk about Vietnam. The vets I worked with (at a bank in DC) were reluctant to talk to a kid like me. Now I under stand why. I shake the hand of every vet I meet, and I will listen to anyone's story. Anyone who served through something like that has my respect. In some ways, I'm sorry I missed it. Every Viet vet I've ever met has told me that I am lucky I was too young.

My most lasting memories are of the great guys I served with, the parties at china beach and of course meeting my wife in Hawaii for R&R. But I will also never forget the red alerts and the rocket attack at covered storage in December 1969. This sight brought back many images for me. I took some of those same camera shots myself but when you and your kids see it on the web it makes it all the more real. Thanks.

Comments: I have been studying the Vietnam war for many years and am overjoyed to find that many Nam vets are building sites and are telling their stories. I have been in the Canadian army for more than 12 years now, and have been to such wonderful locales as Namibia, Somalia, Haiti and the Golan Heights. I would be more than thrilled to hear from any of the vets out there who would like to tell me their living history. Please email me at smogtown@yahoo.com

Comments: While helping to host the Vietnam Veterans of America National Leadership Conference in Savannah Georgia this year, I volunteered to help Luke and Pam with Freedom Flight III. On 01 Aug. 98 in the early AM we were inflated and ready for flight in Savannah's historic park. The weather conditions were not good and looking worse all the time, Luke said, "hop in Randy, let's go!" Up until this time everything we had done was business and safety. Then as I heard Wayne Johnson, (a true brother to me) say, "This ones for you..." and then named a brother he had to leave behind, it hit me...The emotions start to take over...That familiar lump in the throat...the attempt to control a public display of sorrow...All of our Brothers and Sisters who we had to leave in Vietnam...What a wondurful dedication to all our POW/MIA. I consider it a honor and priviledge to have flown with Freedom Flight III, third flight. Due to weather conditions we had to pack up. During all this I had made a new very special friend, who I only know in name as Doc. He is one of the behind the scene volunteers, A Nam Vet...Healing and helping others to heal, volunteering time and personel property to assist in ensuring that our MIA/POW WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON. Before we said farewell that morning Doc. began pulling out the familiar stuff from his wallet that a lot of us still carry. Then Doc. gave me his Spiritual Security Card. What a brotherhood we are, Doc. is at the top of a great list, carry on my brother. God Bless All Freedom Flights and their crew and volunteers such as Doc. Respectfully, Randy Wiggins Secretary, VVA Georgia State Council

My dad has been looking for the book, "Sympathy For the Devil" for a couple of years. Its been banned by the government. I believe it's about Special Forces during the war.

Comments: Most excellent web site dedicated to the memories of Vietnam Veterans. I served in Vietnam from Nov '68 to Dec '69 in the An Khe area with the 4th Battalion/60th Artillery. Our unit was known for "quad 50s" and "Dusters". As an electronic technician I had the privilege to travel (by truck, jeep, and helo) to numerous LZs to repair commo equipment. I'm thankful that I was able to return alive and well, unlike many of our other fellow veterans. I would love to hear from anyone that was in the An Khe area or served with the 4th/60th.

Early on I was on YFU-55 with the Lighterage Division plying the river between Danang, Cua Viet, Hue and DongHa. Later, I was at SCRF at the Deep Water Piers until transferred back to the states. Great job on your homepage! Love those pictures!

If anyone reads this that may have known my husband please contact me. There are questions I have that may never be answered. He told me he was a file clerk his Army records indicate something else. God bless all of the brave Vietnam Vets. Thank you for giving up your innocents and youth to protect our great country.

I think that war should'nt happen, but if I have to go thats what I have to do, so until that point I will never really know what it's like to go to war. So to all of you in any war, thank you.

Comments: I found some old pics yesterday cleaning out my stepfather's house and it brought back old memories. I kind of wanted to touch base with someone with similar experiences so I did a Yahoo search for "Danang Vietnam." I landed in ChuLai in May 1965 as a member of the Naval Gunfire spot team in support of 2nd Bn., 4th Marines. Landed with the first combat troops in ChuLai. Supported 1/4,2/4, & 3/3 operation Starlite. Later in '65 went to Danang. Served with 1/12. Extended twice. Finished tour of duty at Artillery Plateau (Camp Carroll) near Dong Ha. Sometimes I think, who is that fellow looking at me from those pictures? Really liked your site. Glenn Dedmondt glennd46@hotmail.com

Comments: My father, a Vietnam vet who served with the 3/27 Marines, and I are actively compiling an anthology about the effects of a parent's service in Vietnam on his or her children. Children of survivors are an all too often forgotten group---we see the mental, physical, and emotional stress and costs of a legacy of war on a day to day basis, yet there is no national forum for discussing problems unique to children of surviving combat veterans. My literary agent has asked me for a manuscript, but I need more voices and more stories about how you and/or your family did or did not discuss Vietnam. Both vets and their children are encouraged to respond. Do you want your children to construct their thoughts on the war based on films, books, inadequate history in school? We need your story to continue to promote healing and understanding between veteran parents and their children.

Comments: Hi! I am cruising all of the veteran sites that I can find to reaffirm the unique bond of patriotism we veterans share, no matter when or where we served. I think that any site celebrating our brothers and sisters in uniform is an honorable endeavor and am proud to call you family. I am in pursuit of continuing the effort by trying to complile a book about women veterans (hopefully, the first in a series of such veteran books) and need your help in finding our sisters who would be willing to share an experience or two of their active duty days. "In Her Own Words" is simply a book in progress of essays written by women veterans. If you know of someone who might be interested in sharing her story(ies), please pass my e-mail address on to her. Thank you and God bless. Keep up the good work! Brenda
