I'm not quite sure how to put this, but I was (and continue to be) very moved
by your description and story of Vietnam. I am a war historian (specifically a
Vietnam war historian)and love to hear stories and see
pictures from veterans who endured the nightmare of Vietnam. I am a 24 year-old
graduate student at the University of Texas and I am currently working towards
my Master's in Public Administration. I have often wondered what I would have
done if I had grown up during the Vietnam era. Part of me is so captivated by
Vietnam and the whole experience that I say I would have volunteered. Other
parts of me say that I would have been crazy to go and risk being killed. I
have never quite understood my feelings towards 'Nam, but continue to have the
highest respect and regard for the brave veterans who fought in the conflict.
For some strange reason, I greatly envy your experiences while in that crazy
place and time. I wish you the best of luck in the future and once again thank
you for sharing your story with me. Regards, Jess M. Calvert

I am interested in Vietnam. My father died over there October 15,1968. I was only 10 months at the time. He served in the
Marines out of Camp Lajeune. I am not quite sure why
he was there and didn't pay much attention in school because it is a sensitive
topic with me. I finally got to see his name on the wall 2 years ago. My
step-father that raised me, he died on Father's Day in 94, when lightening struck his boat in a lake in Payson, AZ. Kind of
strange how things happen, and all I can seem to do is ask WHY?? One funny thing about our gov't. I
got VA benefits, they overpaid me $247.00 in May of 1986 when I was in school.
Last year they took it out of my taxes. Pretty petty of them I feel considering
what I had to give up for them and their Police Action

I read your story yesterday and found it to be very interesting. My Father also
served in Vietnam in 1969. He passed away in 1981 (I was only seven)and I did not get the opportunity to here
his stroy, so I love reading about others. I wanted
to say Thank you for creating this web page and for serving our country. God
bless all of you. Take care.

Dave, I was in Nam in 71-72 down in Long Binh. Your
stories about basic, AIT and Nam bring back a few sad and a few happy memories.
I took basic and AIT at Ft Polk (Puke) Louisiana in the summer. But when we set
down in Saigon,I still was
not prepared for that hot muggy blast of Vietnam air. I can relate to the
"frog" story, being so bored that anything could amuse! I did see Bob
Hope on Christmas day in 1971 at Long Binh. Now that
was a great memory. For me, it has been 26 years and more than 26 pounds later
but hey, life has been better since 28 jun
72! Steve USARV Data Service Center 222 Pers Svc Co

I like your page alot. I am only a son of a Vietnam veteren but I am still very interested in the Vietnam War.
My father and uncle both served in it. I thank you for putting up this page,

out and say many of the things you have. Thanks again, Matt Splichal

Nice write up on '78A project and photos too. I'm involved in a Tripacer overhaul. The bow-shaped wingtips are broken and
we have the new ones which came straight-shaped. How do we get them to bend and
take the shape without breaking them? If you know this, please let me know.
Thanks.
