Bien Hoa explosion May 1965 William Thomas Crawford USAF -- Angie Jones, Mon, October 03 2005, 20:20:44 (66.112.85.22)
Hi, I am looking for anyone that may have information on the Bien Hoa explosion (May 1965) and my Great-Uncle William Thomas Crawford USAF. He was a mechanic and I believe he had just gotten off duty when the explosion occurred. He went back to help and was killed. Does anyone remember him? I've been told he hadn't been stationed there for very long. He was from Windsor, Missouri and was married with 3 young sons. Any info would be great!! angie29_2005@yahoo.com

I'm trying to help a priest, Fr. Robert Falabella, a decorated Vet Chaplain, contact some soldiers he served with. Many of the guys have found each other but so far they have been unable to locate one "Wally Nelson", who was the Chaplain's assistant.
Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

God Bless our veterans.

Search for MIA's -- wayne gregory, Fri, January 27 2006, 16:32:50 (209.240.205.60)
Article from the Az. Republic, 1/15/06. A reflection by a Tech Sgt. on his trip to Vietnam in search for clues on the 1,800 MIA's still missing. "The first day we went out to the first site, we landed on a landing zone and I got off that chopper and looked around, and all you could see is this green lush jungle canopy and huge hills. I cannot imagine getting off a helicopter, being under fire with a 50lb pack on my back and to have to fight my way down through the jungle to an objective that somebody who hadn't been there told me to get. 'Very Humbling.'

The Tech Sgt. went on to say he was awed at the thought of the Vietnam combat veterans, some of whom were drafted, fighting in such formidable conditions. The Tech Sgt. is from the 944th Fighter Wing, 302nd Fighter Squadron, stationed at Luke AFB. (Air Force Reserve Wing) The Tech Sgt. is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War.

I was there the day you died... I watched in horror as your life drifted quickly away. I could of helped you but, I could not move. I am sorry.. I had the medical training, but something happened to me. I dont know why you died and I did not... I was closer to the mortor then you. Although I only worked with you a few times, I felt that you were somehow like myself when I was in the Army. This I can never say enough. I am sorry for your death... It should have never been.

The Rain: by Michael E. Duncan -- Walter Woodworth, Wed, January 04 2006, 12:24:46 (70.98.237.15)
This is my second time of posting on this site. The last time was in Dec 05. After reading the story The Rain by Michael E. Duncan, I have come to the conclusion that he should be quiet about his exploits in Vietnam. This article is a stumbling block to the good soldiers that are fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq. I had my son read this article and he's presently home on leave from the U.S. Army and I assure you that he is as valient a soldier as Mr. Duncan. He commented that it isn't as easy as you think to kill the enemy up close no matter how intensive the training and it is only by G-d's grace that you can get away with it without retribution. Mr. Duncan only 3% of the Vietnam Veterans. V/r SGT W. Woodworth USA (Ret)Vietnam Veteran USMC 3RD MAR DIV 1965

Adding a Rose -- Patricia L. Rocklein, Tue, January 17 2006, 11:52:15 (70.120.191.50)
I am writing on behalf of Edward Lynn La Barr who died on July 29th, 1967. Panel Location: 24E 031. I am requesting a rose placed beside his name. His younger brother Kevin La Barr was my school mate at St. Anne's; Brentwood, NY. I still remember how much Kevin missed his brother. Though I never heard Kevin speak of it, you could see it in his face. I remember his brief nod if someone asked him about his brother and nothing more. There was a sadness that dampened Kevin's usually upbeat demeanor. It changed who Kevin was forever. So, for Kevin's sake I would like to honor his brother.
Sincerely, Patricia l. Francis(Rocklein)

Thank You -- Nathan Kraft, Sun, January 08 2006, 9:15:30 (69.235.141.151)
I just wanted to say that bieng an 14 year old punk kid with high dreams of becoming an officer in the Marine Corp. (Been set on it for 3 years now, getting an Engineering degree,) I have read Every single story on this page. The funny ones, the sad ones, and the poetic ones. I couldnt imagine what it is like to have bullets pinging and slamming all around, or the fear that the next morter has got ur name on it. (infact the Closest thing to an actual War Experience was a 7 hour scenario paintball game based in WWII) The only thing I could do is try to change peoples minds at my school, that war Isn't pointless. That the men who have valiently (did I spell that right?) and couragously (haha. I cant spell) fought in battle, and lost there lives, as well as risked their lives was not a shamefull waiste. I also thank all of you whom have givin their lives to the service, and still allow the protester to burn the flag (from my favorite story, Freedom Isnt Free) I may seem like Im just glorified about war, which in some ways I am, but I try to be more. To spare your lives another five minutes of my rambling, Thank You all.

If you have a Vietnam story and would like to share it with me please feel free to do so. Thank you very much.

Heros of Koh Tang Beach -- Bridget Fernandez, Tue, December 27 2005, 11:30:39 (205.188.116.197)
I'm looking for some advice or comments from anybody. I recently read The Last Battle by Ralph Wetterhahn. This story is one that has not received the proper recognition it's deserved. Most of all,the three marines that were left on the island during all the chaos, who were later executed only recieved the purple heart. These men covered their fellow soldiers being extracted on the choppers, saving countless lives, never retreating. They were heros and fought til the end. All the men who participated that day were heros, but to me these three men, Danny G. Marshall, Joseph Hargrove, and Gary Hall have not recieved their propper recognition for what they gave that day.
Does anybody have any advice on who to contact or what actions to take? I would appreciate any advice or comments.

Renalcellcarcinoma -- Peggy Long, Fri, December 16 2005, 18:49:19 (70.240.214.1)
My husband passed away in April 2003 with diagnosed renalcellcarcinoma. He was diligent about the fact that he believed he had obtained this disease through a slow growing result of agent orange in Vietnam. He was more convinced as he had to visit the treatment centers and find more and more of these patients that had also served. He was too ill to fight about it and I did not know anything at the time. I filed and reported what he had said but they were adverse to the fact that Vietnam had anything to do with this type of cancer. I have been denied any benefits and really could use them for my two children and myself. If there any statistics or findings that could help me re-represent my case, I would truly appreciate it.
Thank You,
Peggy

JARHEAD: A Film Review -- Don Poss, Sat, November 05 2005, 21:33:08 (68.235.196.147)
As a rule, I don�t write Movie Reviews. I am not a Film Critic, but I know what I like and don�t like. Tonight I saw the film, "JARHEAD". I remember when we Vietnam Vets came home from the war, and the films rolling out then branded us 'baby killers', 'psychos', 'deranged', and worse. I thought filmmakers were beyond that and had learnt lessons from that war to be applied to wars of today and beyond.

"JARHEAD" is based on Anthony Swofford's (former marine) book about his own Desert Storm tour in Arabia and Kuwait. Swofford writes, ��the book�s not anti-Marine Corps, nor am I.� I wonder if Director Sam Mendes actually read the book before directing it into an anti-Marine anti-war movie?

The movie "JARHEAD" is held together only in the fact that each celluloid frame follows another. No plot of merit comes forth. No redeeming human qualities. No insightfulness as to the meaning of war or human folly. The only consistent theme achieved is the branding of every marine who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as certifiably insane-losers, unworthy of loyalty of significant-others, or the gratitude of the nation.

Every marine is portrayed by Mendes as a loser, which makes it okay to imply every Air Force aircraft pictured was a fly-by strafing of marines. Every marine�s girl is a cheating bimbo capable of sending him a videotape of her �encounter� with another man. That portrayal is degrading to every wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, true and supporting of a warrior at war.

Director Sam Mendes: shame on you for directing this diseased-boil of a disjointed film, so disassociated from realty, and purposefully belittling and slandering the memory of the men and women who fought decisively, with valor, and honor, in Gulf War I.

Like I said, I am not a Film Critic, but, I would sooner kiss Jane Fonda than recommend JARHEAD to anyone.

DAD

Where would I be without you dad?
My hero of night and day
I'm so glad you love my mother,
And take time for us each day.

The last time we played baseball,
You reached for me with your hand.
I looked at you, then made a wish,
That I might be just half the man.

I love my father of this earth,
And I love my father of heaven.
It's a lot for me to love, you know,
For I�m only eleven.

Mom and I sure miss you,
Since you left to defend our flag.
When others ask, where is your dad?
I can't help but boast and brag.

D-DAY -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 12:12:21 (4.244.78.223)
D-DAY

D-Day raised the curtain on the conflict
That fore shadowed the end of Hitler's dream.
The largest joint combat landing ever,
Though the blood from both sides flowed like a stream.

When their boats hit the sand, their ramps went down,
And all within paid a visit to hell.
They jumped out to do good for their country,
And to kill the enemy without fail.

They fought the Germans, tides, winds and the waves,
In conditions not easily foreseen.
By night the battle was in our favor,
With bravery, valor, death, and men who scream.

The corpses littered the beach for five miles,
Though heroism had carried the day,
With literally thousands dead or wounded,
Those who were left were determined to stay.

They faced great odds and chose not to protest,
And won the war that put evil to shame.
Most came home, married and raised their babies,
But those who could not we recall with pain.

korea 1950 -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 12:00:41 (4.244.78.223)
KOREA 1950

UN soldiers fought and were forced to retreat
Behind sandbags protected by barbwire hoops.
Many GI's died as they held off attacks,
By 810,000 Communist troops.

Our guys used phosphorus, flame-throwers and napalm,
For without these weapons they could not survive.
The Communist charges led by buglers,
Till the UN could start it's offensive drive.

On the battlefield of death and misery
Many froze with their hands still stuck to their guns.
While others hobbled with their boots wrapped in rags,
City boys, farmers, students, fathers and sons.

With a million and a half dead or wounded,
Both sides singed a truce before generals involved.
July 27th, 1953,
And though thousands were orphaned, nothing was solved.

THE WALL -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:52:41 (4.244.78.223)
BULLETS AND BARB WIRE

We awoke to the crack of rifle fire,
With mortar rounds hitting the ground near by.
The flying shrapnel was absorbed by sand bags,
Which saved lots of us who wished not to die.

The hot spent shell casings fell to the ground
As the VC charged our fortified hill.
We killed so many the stench made us sick,
While we fought to live and not for a thrill.

Barbwire, bullets and clay-mores took their toll
As red and green tracers lit up the sky.
Before long I was the last GI left,
When napalm caused my enemy to fry.

Fleeing the sound of our choppers gunfire
The enemy retreated to the caves and trees.
Then I cried, "thank you " to heaven above,
As I checked out my buddies on my knees.

Somehow I managed to survive the day
Though many I've served with names I have read
Carved in the shinny black stone of The Wall
Are my comrades of war, among the dead.

MID-WAY 1942 -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:50:13 (4.244.78.223)
MID-WAY

It was June the 4th 1942,
As I was floating in the ocean alone;
The ship I had sailed on, sank to the bottom
And I thought I would never again, see home.

The Japanese fleet had steamed in from the east
With the intentions of capturing MID-Way.
Though they were stopped by American war ships,
Whose guns, bombs and torpedoes planes saved the day.

All night long, I watched the fireworks of war
And on the second day we turned up the heat.
As big bombers from Hawaii dropped their loads,
On Japanese ships who soon chose to retreat.

An imperial pilot came floating close by,
Who had been chewed on by the beasts of the sea.
I couldn't help but feel passion for this is man
Who had answered his call just like me.

When it was over, I was plucked from the deep,
By men in a lifeboat just after the dawn.
For two days I had watched the battle for, Mid-way;
Now it's quiet and the enemy has gone.

WORLD WAR TWO -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:46:17 (4.244.78.223)
SURVIVAL

I drifted all night and was loosing my hope
Before by the moon's light I saw dry land.
I floated over and through its reefs to the beach,
Where I quickly smoothed out my tracks in the sand.

All I had was my dagger and a canteen
And it was May 4th of 43.
Just me alone on an enemy island,
Wasn't a safe place for a sailor to be.

I felt I could kill in less than a heartbeat
If that's what it took for me to survive.
I�d already said thanks so many times,
For� God� was the reason I was alive.

Off in the dark, I herd two men's voices,
Laughing and talking in a language not mine.
Inch by inch I crept to their campsite,
Where on what they were eating, I would soon dine.

I stabbed them both and took their fish, rice and wine;
Then ran my way back to the raft by the beach.
Soon I was floating in the ocean again
And far enough out where bullets couldn't reach.

The next day I was picked up by a seaplane,
Whose crew spotted my sail from the air.
Once inside and safe, I cried like a child,
For the dead whom would forever be there.

It was hard to believe heaven let me live;
A farm boy from Kansas, in high school last year.
My girlfriend is blond and she hates it I 'm gone.
Though I'm a veteran of battle, death, and fear.

OUR FLAG -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:42:17 (4.244.78.223)
OUR FLAG

Our flag is fabric wove of thread,
Carried by heroes live and dead.
She stands for justice and courage too,
With her colors; red, white and blue.

For all who serve her, they�ll be cheers,
For any who die, they�ll be tears,
For all who love her, life is swell,
For those who harm her, war is hell.

How many moms have cried before,
As they sent their children to war.
How many dads have not returned,
Because our freedom must be earned.

Wars were waged where brave men died
As patriots fought side by side.
Our flag is still the pearl of earth,
Because of those who prove her worth.

PARTING -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:39:11 (4.244.78.223)
PARTING

The truest words, which portray my love,
I speak to you from within my heart.
May we always recall how we feel,
Though through conflict we're forced to part.

No one can say how long they will last,
For life is not everlasting.
Yet most hope to be blessed by love,
By he who does our casting.

As the fear of battle bites my flesh,
My thoughts of home help keep me sane.
There�s no guarantee that I�ll survive
But either way, I'll serve without shame.

Should the cold hands of death reach for me,
I pray my soul will awake from sleep.
To the voice of God assuring me,
That my spirit, he's chosen to keep.

So try to remember while I'm gone,
That the person I need most is you.
I�ll fight like hell to stay alive
To return home to the love I knew.

THE SONGS OF WAR -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:37:19 (4.244.78.223)
THE SONGS OF WAR

Combat solders have proclaimed before,
There are no atheists in a foxhole.
All tend to pray to whom they worship,
When their fate is beyond their control.

Their faith is their rock and their fortress,
In which they will trust in forever.
Their God, their strength, their deliverer,
From those who plot deadly endeavor.

War is a game, which is won by death,
And you can't have peace without war.
History always repeats itself
As patriots march forth from their door.

A man never greets his wolf within,
Till he serves on history�s battle line.
Some will fight and refuse to concede,
While others hide and cry with weaken mind.

Death- to- death, dust-to-dust, life-to-life,
The wrath of man is a shameful thing,
Sometimes we have no choice but to fight,
Bidding farewell as of war we sing.

POW -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:34:58 (4.244.78.223)
P.O.W.

When you become a P.O.W.
You find you've lost your liberty and more,
The guy with the gun tells you what to do,
As you yearn for freedoms you had before.

Your will to serve helps keep you alive,
Though sometimes you wish you were dead.
Tortures far beyond any normal mind,
And there's no safety, even your bed.

Bullets, barbwire, searchlights and sharp teeth,
Keep you in a place you don't wish to be.
The food is quite awful and sometimes it moves,
And you've no choice of what you hear or see.

The lucky are released and return home,
Though in their dreams their fate is unsure.
War may be hell, but confinement is worse,
Cause afterwards you're never as you were.

[Edit]
WAR -- TOM ZART, Sat, December 03 2005, 11:33:05 (4.244.78.223)
BAGHDAD

Determined though scared, I walk my beat,
On the deadly streets of Baghdad.
Searching for any who plot our harm,
Or by our death are joyous and glad.

Standing in shadows caused by the moon,
I'm reminded of my nights back home.
I wonder if the woman I love
Is growing tired of sleeping alone?

I feel remorse for all who live here,
For this place is a madman's hell.
And those who wish to keep it that way
Must be killed or locked away in jail.

My greatest fear is not my death,
But that I'll end up in a wheelchair.
Disabled for the rest of my life,
Depending on others for my care.

My wife, she prays for my safe return,
As night and day more GI's are killed.
She knows quite well, whatever it takes,
The oath I've given will be fulfilled.

HIGHLANDS AREA/SOLDIER WITH SEVERE CHEST WOUND -- Scott and Cindy Collins, Sat, December 03 2005, 10:19:46 (68.34.156.73)
My husband was riding in a H13 bubble when a charlie or bravo company (blue team) radioed them that they had a severely wounded soldier that needed to be transported out immediately. My husband volunteered to give up his seat and wait for the pilot to take the soldier to the nearest hospital. Scott (my husband) waited behind a wall with the infantry and then the infantry had to move out before the helicopter pilot got back. While he waited by himself behind this wall a sniper took shots at him. The pilot got back in time, but I would love to know that the gentleman that my husband tried to save survived. I think it would really mean alot to him to know that. If anyone thinks they may know or if anyone needs a little more information to determine the incident, please email me or my husband at cllns_sctt64@yahoo.com.

It's funny to read certain comparisons drawn about Vietnam vs Iraq. I can guarantee you the all volunteer army of today, complete with all its weaponry advances would have done no better and possibly worse given the same limitations placed on them in Vietnam.I can tell you what they would do with thier gadgetry soaked in mud in the 120 degree heat lol.I can tell you about their morale after years and years of protests in the streets of the USA, and excrement thrown at them rather than confetti. Forget the 100,000 dollar re-enlistment bonuses troop, how about nothing? but contempt. Hang in there, the times they are a changing.

I sure hope that many will take the time to remember that if it had not been for those of us that served our country, this is to be a day to remember that FREEDOM comes with a price. Some of us served during times where there was not loss. Some of us served during times of much loss.

Please take the time to THANK A VETERAN. I do know that those of us who served will never forget.

Sincerely attend a program where a Veteran who has served can tell you of all that went into helping us to maintain our FREEDOM.

I served in Korea, Turkey and Vietnam from October 1956 until October 1964.

OK what an I looking for I guess anyone who may have know Fred Koss serve with him knows good or bad about him stories pictures anything... I would love to find anything to share with her. make a treasure chest or book...she has never found happiness in this life since his death and I don't think she ever will now. anything of his, that you may have or know of, anything may be a wonderful treasure for this dear sweet tortured soul.. Thank you to all you vets and your families you are not forgotten God Bless you all..I hope someone reading this can help.. bring a little happiness to a KIA soldiers true love..something to brighter her days

Old Friend from Cannon AFB and Danang -- Donald Jones, Mon, October 03 2005, 20:38:58 (207.69.137.22)
Hi Don,
This is a voice from the past from Cannon AFB and Danang, where we served together from about 1964-1966. I happened onto your Website and began reading your story about the B57 that crashed at Danang. I knew immediately from your description that that was the same crash that I saw. Our K9 group was on our way toward the runway, awaiting clearance to cross. We all saw it crash and ran back toward the parking apron to get away from it as the ordinance began to go off. It was a pretty frightening event that one doesn�t soon forget.

I have the addresses of some people whom you will probably remember: Gary Knutson (Cannon & Danang), George Vobornik (Cannon), Herb Norfolk (Danang K9), Jim Clevenger (Cannon). I have copy of the Cannon AFB 832nd Air Division yearbook and would be happy to make copies of the Air Police Squadron section if you like. I also have some pictures of Danang, which are not very good, but are memorable. I can burn them into a CD or DVD if you like. I would be interested in reconnecting if you are interested. Much has happened in the intervening years since Cannon and RVN. I would be interested in reading your bio and would be happy to furnish mine if you like. I would also be interested to know if you are in contact with any other mutual friends from that era.
Regards,
Don Jones

A real hero has gone on to Fiddler's Green -- Jack Stoddard, Sun, September 25 2005, 9:19:23 (68.108.185.121)
As VP of the Blackhorse Assn. I had the honor of meeting Monty more than once at our reunions. 1st Sgt. Monty Montelongo passed on this past week. This message was posted on our unit web site and I thought you guys might know a little about our Monty.

A Real American Hero Has Passed to Fiddlers Green

I think everyone that ever met Monty considered him a friend.

As I watch the news today they seem to use the word Hero, for everything, from nascar drivers, basketball players etc. I do not think any of those people deserve the word Hero.

Some people call anyone that goes to war a Hero, Few are in reality.

However one thing I can say, like so many others have said before Monty was a True American Hero, He never wanted the title, He earned it because of Heroic Deeds during many Battles some faught Hand to Hand.

I asked him at the Nashville reunion, Monty how did you get thru so many battles, what kept you going.

Monty told me that he usually worked alone as a recon Scout, He talked about being in the Battle of the Bulge, Korean War and Vietnam War.

And he said that he put his faith in God, and that every night when he returned from a mission He said a little prayer thanking God for another day.

Monty never told war stories, or even admitted to having any metals other than to say I have a few.

At the reunion in Nashville, I can tell you that Monty showed me His DD214, at my request .

Monty had earned

4 Silver Stars
8 Purple Hearts
8 Bronze Stars with V Devise

Dear James Murtaugh,

I just read your story and it was very touching. I can�t even imagine

how hard it must have been to return to Vietnam after fighting there. I

agree that it is amazing on how fast things change in the world today and in

your case, how fast Vietnam changed. It must have been a tough experience

to fight against the Vietnamese and then return there and see that he treated

you in such a kind way. I admire that you were able to go back! Your

experience will stick with me forever. It was emotional for me to read

about the tough time you went through. You are a very honorable person.

I was wondering if you could please answer these few questions for me. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated:

Name and Rank and Job?

How were you recruited?

Was the war different from what you had expected before you arrived? In what ways?

What was your first impression of Vietnam?

How do you feel about the outcome of the War?

What, if anything, do you feel you gained from your time in Vietnam?

Did you experience any anti-war propaganda?

Was there anything that you enjoyed while you were in Vietnam?

What did you feel was the biggest turning point in the war and why?

How do you feel the United States government handled the war?

What do you think of the Tet offensive of 1978 and what effect do you think this event had on the war?

How do you feel about the war now?

Are you feelings different from when you entered the war and now?

How do you feel about My Lai?

Did you find it a shock to return home and find the anti-war movement was as large and predominant as it was or were you made aware of it whilst in Vietnam?

How do you think the media effected the war?

After blocking out (or Trying to)thoughts of vietnam, I now need help locating records and info. I had a mos of 31s30 (crypto)and ended up in Vietnam early in 1969 and was assigned to the 39th signal in Vuntau. Not having a need for my MOS there I spent alot of time TDY to various units. I remember being in Dong Tam, My to(sp) Danang, LZ Shroder. I have a few pictures but nothing to document any claims. I was given a Purple Heart for minor wounds incurred on 6/11 69. with either the 4/39th 9th inf. or 5/60th. My memory is not that good and my doctor said I should file a claim for DPTS. But it takes dates and I cannot be positive. I have applied for my medical records and personnel file and for reissue of medals. When I was given the Purple Heart it was a "field ceremony" and I have no paper work to back it up or none for my CIB. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

He was there such a short time before we lost him. We do not forget him.

Thank You All -- Craig Carbone, Sun, July 10 2005, 20:10:12 (67.82.133.56)
Just wanted to thank all of you for a great site and thank you for reminding me how very special my dad is. My father was in Vietnam in 1964-1965. He has always been very proud of his service and so have I, but reading all the stories on this site has made me realize how lucky I am to have the dad i do. He was in the Big Red One and is very proud of that fact. Growing up we always heard about the people and friends he had in Veitnam some that made home and those who he lost especially his best friend William R. McKim. I have had the honor of meeting Mr. Bobby Fisher my father's XO in Vietnam and his wonderful family. Mr. Fisher has died a few years ago and I know my dad would of loved to go to the funeral of his beloved friend, but just could not bring himself to go. My father is the only one alive from his platoon that made it back, so what I guess i tring to say is thank you dad, thank you for passing on the leson of life you had to learn the hard way so my sisters and I can have the life we have. My father never had a proper welcome home from Vietnam when he landed at JFK airport he was forced to change out of his uniform so their would be no problems, but being proud of his service and proud of the people he serviced with he walk out in full uniform anyway and was spit on, but that did not matter to him. This is my way of thanking him and all those that served and sacrifice so everyone else can have the life we do. Thank You Dad and All Those Who Served In Vietnam. Thanks Dad For Making Me Succeed when God knows it was not easy. Thank You Dad for the lessons of life you taught me that you learned the hard way thousands of miles away from home and those that love you. Your strenght and pride in youself and your service is what you have passed on to your loving children. Thank You For Being My Hero Along With The Men You Served With And All Those That Frought In Vietnam. I Am Proud To Be Your Son. Thank You All!!!

Hi, Ed...

As promised, I have already translated your story into Russian and it is published on the net site of Russian Vets:
http://artofwar.ru/index_e.html
There are already several translated stories by Pat Camunes from this site e.g..
Here is the link to your story in Russian
http://artofwar.ru/f/foreign/text_0340.shtml
Here is the translation of your web site
http://artofwar.ru/comment/f/foreign/text_0340

Next I will try to translate your Bunker 13 and Tet Causalities. As I have said, I like your style and would like to translate maybe more from your book...

I am going to translate the story by Forrest Brandt "Almost Home" as well. But I can't get in touch with
him for permission... Just the same as it was with you I guess... I would appreciate very much if he emails me.

By the way, maybe someone knows what has happened to the similar site http://www.vietvet.org/thepast.htm . I can�t open it. There was a story by Mike Murphy which I wanted to translate too, but did not saved anything except the link. If anybody could help me to get in touch with him it would be very nice�

Best regards

P.O.W. - M.I.A. Bracelet -- Janet Doyle, Sat, July 30 2005, 7:58:07 (216.76.237.41)
I have two bracelets that I wore for two soldiers who served in the Vietnam War. I have been on a mission since uncovering these bracelets in a "memory" box several months ago. I have been able to verify information on these soldiers on-line. I have a vivid memory of witnessing one soldier step off the plane when he returned in 1973. I did not see the other soldier that day and have recently found on-line information stating his status as "XX - Presumption Finding of Death". After all these years, my heart surely sank when I confirmed this fact and find myself mourning my loss of him today. My objective is to return these bracelets to the appropriate person and/or family member. Is this the right thing to do? I'm nervous over the prospect of how to locate someone to complete this venture because there are people who may take advantage of this situation. Need advice and am happy to be able to at least share my story on this site. Thanks for listening.

General William Westmoreland, 1914-05 -- wayne gregory, Wed, July 20 2005, 2:09:36 (209.240.205.60)
"Few have a field command as long as I did. They put me over there and they forgot about me. I was there 7days a week, working 14 to 16 hours a day. I have no apologies and no regrets, gave my very best." General Westmoreland led thousands of Nam Vets, 1982, to the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial. He called it, "one of the most emotional and proudest moments of my life." The General saw action in three wars. Commanded the 34th Field Artillery Battalion fighting German Field Marshall Rommel. Promoted to Brig. General during the Korean War and later served under Maxwell Taylor. Retired in 1972, but remained active in Veterans activities. He also stood up to the misinformation media blitz with a law suit which was settled before it went to the jury. "is not about whether the Nam War was right or wrong, but whether in our land, a tv network can rob an honorable man of his reputation."

Master Sgt. David Lee Adams known as Pappy -- Gayle Kilgore, Sat, July 16 2005, 12:01:42 (70.110.11.210)
D.L. was my older brother. Although he did not die in Vietnam, he served two - or maybe three - hitches there because he felt it was his duty as an American. He died in 1996 as a result of exposure to Agent Orange. He developed fibrous lung disease. One of our cousins, who was also a Vietnam Vet, remarked the day of Dee's funeral that he was as much a casualty of Vietnam as those listed on the WAll. And he was.

Admiral James Stockdale 1923-05 -- wayne gregory, Mon, July 11 2005, 22:01:34 (209.240.205.60)
"Who am I and why am I here?" Perhaps the funniest one liner ever delivered by a Presidential candidates running mate. As a fighter pilot, the Admiral flew 201 missions during the Vietnam War. Shot down on 9/9/65, he was captured and taken to Hoi Lo Prison, (Hanoi Hilton.) Spent the next eight years as a POW. His resistence and strength while in captivity was noted. Awarded the Medal of Honor for holding steadfast to the Code and his Country. The Admiral once smashed his face in with a mahogany stool, rather than be filmed for propaganda purposes. His education before and after the war is remarkable, becoming the President of the Citadel in the late 70's. The Admiral was the highest ranking Naval Officer while in captivity in North Vietnam.

Memories Of A Wounded Corpsmen -- Akhenast, Mon, June 06 2005, 16:39:22 (64.12.116.137)
Hello. My name is Amanda and i'm from New Hampshire. My english teacher has assigned me a project. I basically have to read a bunch of war-works and post comments on my 5 favorites. The poem "Memories" is my favorite. It sheds new light on my idea of a typical American Soldier in Veitnam. They were young, afraid and saw alot of horrible stuff. I guess the last one can be said for any war. "Memories" reminded me of Dalton Trumbo's book Johnny Got His Gun. The Soldiers joined the war because they felt they had to but they never really had to. I can never imagine the pain you felt seeing your comrade die. You are a very brave man sharing your story. Thank you.
