Just wanted to take time to remember Horace Holbrook.
It's been over 40 yrs ago since we lost him. He was a
friend and Brother to most of us at Bien Hoa.

Rest in Peace Brother, you won't be forgotten.

VA CLAIMS -- JIM (BUDDHA) LEBOWITZ, Sat, May 09 2009, 16:01:15 PDT (ppp-47.255.lw.fea.net/216.115.255.47)
A lot of our members have experienced delays and problems with their VA Claim. Take the following advice from the Buddha:

First insure you have a service officer from one the the veterans organizations to assist you. I would strongly recommend you use the DAV. They have highly trained service officers and they know the system.

Most claims are denied because of insufficient documentation. Make sure you have the following:

DD Form 214
If currently married you will need your marriage certificate
Divorce papers and death certificates for prior marriages
Birth certificates for all children being claimed as dependents. This would include all children under 18, children between 18 and 23 if students, children over 23 who are incapable of self support. This includes natural, adopted or step children.
Doctors statement listing medical findings, i.e., diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Social Security Number for each family member being included in claim package.
All income data. This would include, accounts with banks, credit unions, pensions, sick or disability pay (you will also need the dates of the first and last checks) income from employment, and all other income sources.
The value of real estate (excluding your home) must be included.
Make sure your name and SSAN are are on all documents.

Having all the needed documents will prevent needless delays.

It is my sad duty to inform you that VSPA brother Bill Roberts passed away on Apri 27, 2009 from cancer. He now takes his place with those who have gone before him under Life Member 111. Tsgt Bill Roberts was born in West Virginia in 1932. He served in the USAF from Aug 1951 until Sep 72 and served his time in Southeast Asia at Takhli RTAFB from Feb 68 to Feb 69. His wife Caryol advised us of Bill's death on the 8th of May. In a message of condolence, I explained to her that Bill will never be forgotten as long as there is a VSPA.

Ladies and Gents,

Please join me in congratulating Gary McKinney on becoming VSPA Life Member #561. Gary served at Korat in 1971-72, and now lives in Michigan (although he's over 300 miles from where my first duty station used to exist).

He's been a member of VSPA for longer than the records show (holy cow!).

Welcome Home to VSPA!

I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. With meds and diet, I am controlling it. I recently talked with a friend and he stated that Agent Orange might be the culprit. Anyway, I filed with the VA and the only thing I have heard is that we received your claim, please wait and we will get back to you. I contacted the DAV and they are representing me when dealing with the VA. Has anyone ever done this before? How long does it take? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wrote this in 2002. I lost my mother in 2002. I wish I could hug and kiss her one more time. Jack The Old Cowboy

LONELY MOTHER's DAY

I think so lovingly when Mothers day is here.
Wishing some way we could be near.

Remembering this special day each year.
And knowing you are with the Lord Mother dear.

Just that thought a son could wish for no more.
Because its with angels of pure you now soar.

You made my life so rich though we were poor.
Again we will meet when God opens his door.

I shall again see your face, hold your hand.
In God's high and wonderful heavenly land.

Thanks to all for your good wishes and support and prayers for Alex Liverano. His wife Pamela just called me to let us all know that he came through the surgery OK and will be coming home from the hospital probably tomorrow. It sounds like it may be a while before he can talk much, but maybe I'll have a chance to talk with him in a week or so.

My thanks again to you all, and Welcome Home.

I urge you to contact your rep's regarding this Bill,,,,,,,

Support HR 2243 - The Surviving Spouses Improvement Act of 2009

HR 2243 - the Surviving Spouses Improvement Act of 2009 Take Action!

Increase the DIC Amount and Abolish the "Widows Tax"

Please send the following message to your Representative --

Please co-sponsor HR 2243, the Surviving Spouses Improvement Act of 2009, introduced by Representative Steve Buyer on May 5, 2009.

This legislation would increase the VA Dependency Indemnification Compensation (VA DIC) amount to 55% of the VA 100% disability compensation amount. This 55% level aligns VA DIC with DOD Survivors Benefits Payments and links DIC to VA compensation in an equivalent manner to Federal civilian disability pay.

Further, HR 2243 would end the SBP/DIC "widows tax" offset where DIC offsets SBP $1 for $1 of DIC paid. Some 50,000 to 60,000 survivors are impacted by this offset, in some cases as high as $1154 per month. In many instances this totally wipes out the SBP which was paid from the military spouse's retirement pay. As a result, many SBP/DIC widows live in penury.

Turning 21 is memorable wherever it happens. If you turned 21 in a war zone it certainly is more memorable. What did it feel like? What was it like for you ??
I wrote a few verses about some years later:

TODAY is the day I am a man.
We are off so we hitch a ride to the beach at Cam Ranh.
It's crowded here but I feel alone
And wonder if I'll ever make it home.
107 day yet to go.
Yet it seems likeone long day and eternally slow.
I look at the crowd and wonder
How many could die here and I ponder.
Most of them will probably be fine.
Perhaps I too am within the line.
But our work is of danger and the danger is real.
That's why going home and feeling safe is hard to feel.
I'm 21 but older the day I came.
And somehow I don't think life will ever be the same.
July 2,1971
Chaplain Steve

Typical ... I got the dates mixed up and my buddy Alexander Liverano (VSPA LM #521, Takhli and NKP 1970-71, K-9 Dante 632M) is having his surgery TODAY, not yesterday. I talked to him last night, and he really appreciates all his VSPA Brothers caring enough to pray and send messages of hope for him.

It is what we do.

Welcome Home,

A Brother facing some tough surgery -- Phil Carroll - LM #336, Thu, May 07 2009, 7:12:04 PDT (dd.fws.gov/164.159.60.2)
My very dear old friend and Brother Alexander Liverano is going under the knife today, his pneumonia has become so bad they have to operate. We were dog handlers together at Takhli and Nakhon Phanom in 1970-71, roommates in the hootch at NKP. I owe the VSPA a big debt for enabling us to get in touch again all these years later. We've sure enjoyed the long phone conversations and many emails.

I'll be praying for a successful operation and Alex's safe recovery today; please join me.

Welcome Home, Brothers!

Phil

Has anyone ever heard if the effects of Agent Orange can be passed on to children that were conceived after our return from Vietnam? I have never heard of anything but I've wondered for some time.

I am trying to locate an item we wore in Nam back in 65/66. It was the canvas Air Commando Hat (pinned up on one side)and sometimes refered to as an Australian Bush Hat.It was an issue item back then. We got ours after training and enroute to Nam in Mid 1965.
I was with the 4503 TFS(P) SP det which was redesignated the 10th Air Commando Squadron in 1966.
I called my son who is on active duty as a MSgt at Elgin AFB Special Ops and asked if they were sold there..he said "POP, that hat is like you..an antique(ha ha ha !) and went on to say he has only seen one behind glass in a display case.( Us old timers don't get a lot of respect..do we ?)
What I am looking for is this..can anyone tell me where to obtain this hat at a reasonable price ?
Any help would be appreciated and may result in a Bottle of your choice while we party in Arizona
Thanks guys....

I don't want to be inflammatory on the one hand but on the other hand I see the incidents with the American flag being placed under the Mexican flag as an act of war. These are the beginning skirmishes of another front against our country, our way life, and our beliefs in God. Make no mistake, my brothers and sisters, the fight for our freedom and the freedom of generations to come has been brought to our doorsteps!

On June 13th at R.I. College there is going to be a large gathering of veterans in R.I.
I'm not sore of happenings yet but it's being promoted as the biggest event for veterans in R.I.. I believe it's purpose is to get veterans to join various veterans organizations.
As I learn more, I'll post it.
Anybody will be welcome.

I got this from Ted Whilock:
Chief of Security Forces, General Hertog Receives Order of the Sword. Last week, our enlisted force paid Gen Hertog with one of the greatest tributes possible by giving her the Order of the Sword. Congratulations again to Gen Hertog. See the link below for news on the Order of Sword announcement:
http://www.lackland.af.mil/news/story_media.asp?id=123141792

By the way, Gen Hertog has been tentatively selected for assignment (pending approval by the Congress of her promotion to Maj Gen) as the Commander, 2d
Air Force, Air Education and Training Command. That is not a typo. 2AF is
no longer at Barksdale.

Last night as I was watching the Dodgers win their 11 game at home with no losses, I was able to observe a class act on their part. During the 7th inning stretch, instead of singing Take me out to the ball game, they had a singer come out and sing 'God Bless America'. Thought it was nice to here the song and see everyone standing at attention. Sometimes we just get it right.

Last week my wife, Rosa, and I attended our daughter�s promotion and award ceremony at McGuire AFB, NJ. Jessica was promoted to the rank of Major USAF, and was also awarded the Army Commendation Medal and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal for service while assigned to Easy Company of the Army�s 506th Infantry Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, at an outpost near the Pakistan border in Afghanistan.

Suffice it to say, we are extremely proud of Jessica, as we are of all military men and women serving our great nation.

Eagle Chapter, Air Force Security Forces Association, will wash OUR Vietnam Veteran's Memorial (The Wall and the two statues) on Saturday morning, May 16th at 0600. We are getting it all cleaned up for the Memorial Day weekend, when Sam and his friends will ride through in Rolling Thunder.

I will be driving up from SC to join in the washing. If you live near the DC area, please join us. We will meet by the three soldiers statue, at the Lincoln Memorial entrance, at 0600. The usual DC traffic jam will be absent at that time and you can park easily along Constitution Avenue and the side streets between 21st and 23rd streets.

The washing takes about 90 minutes. Afterwards, we will go over to the Pentagon City Mall and have coffee and breakfast. Some guys also plan to go on over to Arlington Cemetery to pay their respects to fallen friends.

Hope to see you there.

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and pass along the URL for my page.

http://home.myfairpoint.net/vtdba/nkpthailandgallery/

I had two (2) tours at NKP 1969-1970 56 SOW 20450 Intel Ops Spec and 1970-1972 Task Force Alpha.

The web page also has a link to the first volume of cartoons I did with Darrel Morrison, using ideas from pilots and ground crew. There is also a link to the log book with 271 names of personnel who received a copy of either Vol 1 or Vol 2 (or both) of the cartoons. The names are from 25 Feb 1970 through 02 Jun 1970, and include next base of assignment for some.

WRE WE REALLY THAT YOUNG -- JPE PIZZIMENTI (SURPRISE), Mon, May 04 2009, 17:11:56 PDT (cache-dtc-aa12.proxy.aol.com/205.188.116.16)
Today, the Wife and I went to Patrick AFB here in Fla to get my ID Card and her ID Card..Iwas granted 100% disability last month and this was one of the perks. I can now shop on base at the Commissary and BX again
While on base and shopping, I looked at the faces in uniform and all I could see were kids.
I aked one Airman how long he had been in and he said 1 year working on #2.
I commented to my Wife how young they looked and she said..Joe back in 1961 you looked like that, in 1965 you looked like that but in 1966 after Nam, you looked older.
Well maybe so, maybe not...My Son Joe Jr is career AF, a Master Sgt, and in his 20th Year, hes been to Iraq and know what ?..He looks older.
It took me a while to realize that a tour in a Combat Zone can do that, but how about our ladies? I was married back in 65 and she waited for me and know what..she looked older when I came home..still beautiful but older.
Just some observations..Were we really that young once?
God Bless our Troops, God Bless America and say a prayer for our Troops fighting now..AMEN !

Good morning gentlemen,

I found your site and enjoyed the part I had access to, it is a great site and you have done a great job. I am glad to see that people with the ability to create sites of this type are putting them online for everyone to enjoy.

I am a retired marine EOD technician and I helped clean up ASP-1 after it was destroyed by fire on March 27th, 1969. As a matter of fact after the dump was destroyed I lived in the MAG 11 area of Da Nang from about two months while our base was being rebuilt. When I first came to Da Nang in 1965 I lived on the hill at the end of the dump closest to the location of the future home of the Freedom Hill PX and complex. At night we would sit on top of the hill and watch the operations on Da Nang AB.

You have three pictures on your site that brought back some great memories and some memories that are not so great. I would like to request a copy of the first three pictures on your site. I do not have a web site and to be quite honest I do not have the knowledge necessary to build one. I will greatly appreciate it if approve my request.

Thanks again for the great site and WELCOME HOME!

Ladies and Gents,

Please join me in congratulating Joe Pizzimenti on becoming VSPA Life Member #557. Big Joe has been a member for all of two months now, and already has determined that VSPA is the outfit he's been looking for to honor his military service and to connect with other Vietnam War Veterans who understand exactly what he's been through - before, during and after Vietnam.

He served at Bien Hoa and Da Nang in 1965-66, and now lives in Florida.

Welcome Home Life Member #557!

Great news!

Your VSPA staff has restored our ability to take secure on-line credit card or debit card payments for annual dues, Life Membership fees, or tax-deductible donations. There's a page on our VSPA website with all the information, at: http://www.vspa.com/vspa-dues.htm

You can also get to that same page by going to the VSPA Home Page, select the "Member Services" menu, drop down to "How-To/Guidelines," and click on "How To Pay Dues."

The payments come to VSPA through PayPal, which is about as secure as secure can get, and we never see your credit card information. You do not need a PayPal account to use this service, just a credit card or debit card.

If you make a donation to the VSPA you will receive an emailed receipt for your files - please save it for tax-time. This includes donations to the fund we maintain for covering the dues of our Brothers who are having a tough time financially and can't afford their dues for a while. Don't forget, though, that your own VSPA dues and Life Membership fees are not tax-deductible.

This is an important time of year to make sure your VSPA membership is active, so you won't miss any of the information about our 15th annual reunion, coming up in October in Phoenix.

Thanks for your continued support of this fine Brotherhood (and Sisterhood!).

Welcome Home!

Poem -- Jackie R. Kays, Sun, May 03 2009, 4:59:58 PDT (customer121_157.grm.net/216.139.121.157)
I wrote this at 03 hours this morning!

Memories!
(A nightly recall)

They were young and unaware,
but in a few months in that jungle
war it wasn�t long until patches
of gray appeared in their thinning
hair.

Sweat, tears, anger, not to mention
fear and loneness beyond description.
This jungle war was theirs from now
though redemption!

Forty years later, they nightly recall
the distinct sounds of; roaring B-52�s,
The loud humming of an F-4�s speeding
down a dark runway.

The unmistakable sound of
a �Dustoff�chopper in flight.
The whistling of incoming
mortars and the never ending
roar of the 105 howitzer in
the dark of night.

The smell of napalm in the early morning air.
Agent Orange everywhere!
A silent death sentence for sure to bear.

The sight of a silent pop flare drifting
aimlessly in the hot jungle night air.
Dark shadows moving in the tall
elephant grass without caution or care.

Charlie in the wire?
Claymores and bouncing Betties
will set his ass on fire!

Destine to forever remember;
blood on the ground, name and face
of a buddy from some small town.

Body bags stacked in the broiling jungle
sun. Mothers and fathers forever in tears
for the rest of their years.

Memories;
If you were there, you know!
If you were not�
you don�t want to know!

Jackie R. Kays / � 2009

Hi Guys,
I Recently received an email video from Newell Swartz
that made my blood boil, and at the same time brought
tears to my aging eyes! �Goodforhim.wmv�
I think every red bloody American should witness this
act of patriotism! In my opinion the man in this film should be made an honorary member of ever American
military organization in this great nation!
I immediately felt an emotional connection of rage and
pride this man demonstrated during this brief act of
outstanding patriotism!
He maintained a lot more composure during this incident than I could have ever maintained!
After witnessing this video, please let me know what
your reaction were to this incident.
Jackie

After reading the Post check this morning. I put out this poem I wrote a few years back.

This is for all my brothers from Vietnam who still have these long sleepless nights.

Still Walking the Perimeter

An old Sky Cop am I
Checking windows, door, locks letting out a sigh
Years of sleepless nights take their toll
I search deep down into my soul
This old body now weak and frail
Why do I endure this senseless hell
Wondering are there others or just me alone
Living out memories long ago sown
Still walking the perimeter
Suffering these endless bouts with fright
I dread most of all the dark of night
Peering out the window at the dark road
Again I am in security mode
Long long years now back home
The feeling of insecurity never gone
How many others who suffer as I
Always standing guard with a watchful eye
Still walking the perimeter
An old Sky Cop am I
Edwin Jack Smith
The Old Cowboy Poet

Keith Nolan -- Terry Morris (Sad news), Thu, Apr 30 2009, 17:10:25 PDT (71-13-147-92.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com/71.13.147.92)
I just read in the current VFW magazine that Keith Nolan died of lung cancer on Feb. 19th of lung cancer, he didn't smoke. As some of you know he wrote 10 books about Vietnam from the grunt's perspective including "The Battle For Saigon, Tet 1968." It was one of a very few books that even recognized the history of the AP/SPs part in the Vietnam saga. You would be hard pressed to find much about our part in the volumes written, even in the indexs. He will be missed by all. Rest in peace Mr. Nolan.

Memorial Day is upon us once again. I've thought about the future Last Vietnam War Veteran, and his last day, and wrote a story about what he might feel. I invite you to take a minute and read, Catch The Wind, The Last Vietnam War Veteran, Memorial Day, 2062, at

Hi Guys,
Happy Birthday to me!
Don�t tell anyone, but I�m 76 years old today!
I was a young S/sgt with 16 years in the Air Force
when I landed at DaNang in 1965.
Where has the last 44 years gone?
�Gone with the wind!��smile.

Jackie

Mike is feeling alot better today. He had his meeting with the county VA affairs officer. He found out that his type of cancer is on the list of cancer's caused by Agent Orange. He goes Monday to the VA for his tests and to get him started on treatments. I want to thank all of you who came forward with information that helped him get moving in the right direction. I was really worried about his well being. I have never met mike in person but I plan to at the reunion. He is going to get better so he can attend. God Bless you all.... Jack The Old Cowboy

The Passing of a Legend -- Gary Jones, LM-363, Sun, Apr 26 2009, 10:52:48 PDT (cpe-098-025-046-219.sc.res.rr.com/98.25.46.219)
I regret to inform everyone of the loss of Life Member #337, CMSgt Robert C. Frink on 24 Apr. Bob was known to everyone as "Sergeant Major" because he was, to my knowledge, the only Air Force Security Policeman to officially hold that title. When Safeside was founded, the manning document was taken from the U.S. Army Rangers. As the Senior Enlisted man in the 82nd Combat Security Police Wing, he occupied the position of Sgt Major and was directly responsible for organizing and training the 1041st SPS(T), the 821st CSPS, 822nd CSPS and 823rd CSPS.

The Sgt Major experienced dizziness and chest pains on Friday and was admitted to the David Grant Medical Center at Travis AFB, CA. He steadfastly declined any invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures, even though his family tried to persuade him otherwise. He died peacefully in his sleep, a few hours later, fully in charge of his destiny. That's the kind of man he was.

The Sgt Major was a genuine hero. He was taken prisoner in WW-II but he was too tough to die. When his captors executed him and his two colleagues by shooting them in the back of the head, he survived. His story may be found at
http://safesideassociation.org/war_stories_1.html. I encourage everyone to read it.

American has lost one of its heroes but she can be thankful for all the lives he touched while he walked this earth. May he rest in peace.
