I Love the picture of your old pacer. Like you, my dad had a a Tri-Pacer back in the 70’s. He often talks about it and wishes he still had it. I use to sit in his lap and ” FLY” when I was 4. Those were the days.

You might have heard me fly over a few times while you were in Nam. I flew 105 combat missions in the B-52 hitting targets in Viet Nam (North & South) and the Ho Chi Mihn Trail. It has been so long ago now I’m probably misspelling the trail. V/R, Joe W.

Wow! What a site. I came here to check out your Vietnam goodies, but I see you have a whole bunch more to offer! I guess there is life beyond Vietnam and we were not all the bunch of “burn outs” that the press would like the world to believe! I will be back again to check out the rest. Nice job! Randy K.

Thomas Smith
Nice site! Nice diversity! I, too, will “bookmark” it and return many times. I’m also a Viet Vet who worked in the same AO as you as well as supporting the 25th Infantry. We were an artillery battery working primarily out of FSB Rawlings at the foot of the “Black Virgin” mountain.

Great site, it helped me a lot with my project about the Vietnam war (I’m doing a project about the movie “The Deer Hunter”, we’re investigating if the movie tells a story about Vietnam that’s really true. Thanks a lot

Dave, what a great web site you have. I stumbled across it and spent a good part of my day on it. I was with 2/8th Cav, 1st Cav Div. in ’68-69 in Tay Ninh Province as a grunt. I’ve got a few photos of the Black Virgin Mountain, too! I’ll share them with you if you want. Glad you made it home and kept your sense of humor! JIM

Your memories you have offered to others honor those who never came home. I never served in Vietnam, but chose to volunteer before the end. Sadly, images of two friends who, lacking financial resources for college, ended up being drafted and never returning to their parents and brothers and sisters still haunt me to this day. They stood and served their nation to the end, others did not, and so must be endlessly tormented by their personal act of shame. Thanks.

I am very interested in going into the Army but I am not sure about Boot camp yet. I still need alittle more thinking but these sites really help me make a great decision. keep up the good work on your sites.

A facinating web page. I am now currently serving as a 105mm Battery Executive Officer for A/3-7 FA at Schofield Barracks. The candor and honesty of your thoughts make for a very enjoyable learning experience. Reading these memories put a true human touch to the War. Thank you for sharing with my generation.

I was with Hq&Bco.725th Ord Bat, 25th Inf. Stationed Schofield Barricks Hawaii, 60-62, served Nam 12-24-61 to 3-18-62 wounded and evacked out Saigon then Clark AFB. Few people knew we were there that early. It got really ugly later luckily I was out and home. Your built a great site.
Daniel J. Shoop
Dave, Very much enjoyed your web site! Our lives are parallel in that I too got into R/C and got licenced in full-sized aviation in the early 70’s after spending a few years in the service, including a 13 month stint in RVN. I was in the I-Corp area (3rd MAW, 1st LAAMs) and also saw roughly the same Bob Hope show you saw when he brought it to DaNang. Thanks for the excerpt about the “Girl in the Photo” fraud. There is plenty of disinformation still floating around about Viet Nam, even this long after the war. I am a member of the SWPC and am thinking about aquiring a short wing of some sort after I retire in a about 5 years. I was a partner with a 1973 PA-28R-200 until I went overseas (Saudi Arabia) in 1996. Now, I just want to putter around the sky in a nice ragwing when I get home. Regards, Dan

Hooah and welcome back home brother. I was doing some deeeeeeeeeeeprecon on RTOs for my new club at Yahoo. I came across this LZ. You got a great page here, well done. I was wondering if you could do a recon on http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/thewhipandprc I am lookin for Nam Vets who were RTOs or had experience with them or with radio equipment. My husband Steve was a Chief RTO serving 2 TODs in the Army Special Forces, and he was in Cambodia and Thai and other places where he was not supposed to be at. I noticed that there were not alot out there for RTOs so I created a club for you cool and elite people who really were the main eliment of the unit, the commo men who called in Arty as well as choppers for extractions and resupply. You were the ones who literally got your team members out of the shit. Good job here Dave…Keep up the good work.
