Enjoyed the tri-pacer words. Yes, flying does fulfill, whether it’s flying the mountains or doing touch-and-goes, and always puts us a little closer to Dad. Personally, am currently negotiating for a highly modified pacer that will be used for tight (short) hunting strips. Hope my sons and I enjoy it as much as you and yours have. You did good.

I enjoyed reading your stories. It brought back memories. I was drafted in 68,Dix,Sill,Bliss,Riley,Bragg and Viet Nam. I was assigned to the 82nd. Airborne as a Redeye Gunner and humped the boonies in VN doing search and destroy almost every day. It really sucked, but incredible memories and friends. I still cry. I lost too many buddies.

Dave, I served in Germany in the 26th FA at O’Brien Barracks in Schwabach. I was there from 2/56 to 9/56. Before that, I was at Sheridan Kaserne in Augsburg. I was in the 21FA in the 5th Div. It was a good army, well-trained and disciplined. Our officers and NCO’s were all combat vets – WWII and Korea. They were professional and all business. I have nothing but admiration for all of you who served in Vietnam. So many Americans are oblivious to the dedication and loyalty that Vietnam Vets gave to their countrymen. There are, however, thousands upon thousands of verterns that feel for all of you and are grateful. Viel Gluck!

I just wanted to thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into creating this website. I am a senior at Western Michigan University, studying Elementary Education. I printed your entire website, including pictures to use as a resource for a research project I am doing on the Vietnam War era. I think it’s so important for educators to make an impact using personal information such as your story to help learners really understand the history on a personal level. I feel that by using your story/website in my lesson plans when teaching on Vietnam the students will be more interested and will be able to recall dates and events with much more respect. Your help has been greatly appreciated by me! Brenda

My father (Gary) was also in the 25th Infantry division in Vietnam. Some of the places you have mentioned are familiar to me because my father has told me about some of them. My father was at that base camp at the foot of Nui Ba Den. He has shown me pictures of these places. He was over there in 68 and 69. I just thought I would write this to tell you how proud I am of my father and others like yourself. You are all heroes to me. Thank you for my freedom.

Good page, saw it for the 1st time today (3/28/00). I spent 2 1/2 years in country, from 2/68 through 7/70. Most of the time was spent on top of Nui Ba Den with the 5th Special Forces and then TDY with the Nui Ba Den Provisional company. I’ll be retiring on 03/31/00 with over 30 years government work, the last 20 I spent as a federal law enforcement officer. Anyone with Nui Ba Den e-mail me as my spouse and I will be traveling the USA soon.

Always interested to see what other Wefler’s are doing in life. There are not many of us in the U.S. We are located in Indiana and decendents of James Linden Wefler, my grandfather born 1880 died 1943, I never knew him I was born in 1959. Enjoyed your page! I presently attend Indiana State University studying graphic design. I am married with 2 children, Jacob and Joshua. My fathers name was Carl Ernest Wefler, a barber in Terre Haute, Indiana for over 50yrs. Would be interested to hear from you.
Webmaster’s note: Many thanks for the kind words and information. Unfortunately, however, I’m not a Wefler. When you visited my web site, it may have been “stuck” inside someone else’s frames — possibly a web site belonging to Bruce Wefler. Dave

Hi! Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate what you did in the war. I am a 40+ year old Social Studies teacher who uses your site to help educate child about war and the need to prevent. I feel the need to say I’m sorry but all I can do for you and so many others is to educate. You guys from Nam are NOT forgotten and the US is NOT forgiven.

Incredible site – incredible story. I was 12 yrs old during most of it – here at home, my cousins were hippies and protesters..now they’re liberals with jobs and SUV’s. I didn’t understand anything about the war or much else until much later. Thank you for your service to our country, whatever the eventual meaning of it all. It is valuable to me to hear an honest, first person account of that time. Thank tyou for that as well. Good luck to you.

I was in 25th infantry artillery vietnam 70-71. Much of your material here is very familiar, and I enjoyed your summary. I would add that many good friends were made there. However, unlike college, none were followed-up. Everyone just dispersed. However, will not forget getting drunk early in morning at Sea-Tac aiport when we were all heading home. Last time I saw all those guys. Since then, its been pretty damn boring. An old vet.

Your tripacer story is very inspiring! I went with my instructor today to go look at a Pulsar 582 experimental. It was a beautiful plane (although very cramped). I would like to buy it but I am still terrified of a homebuilt coming apart in the air! I need to see if I can rig up one of those ballistic recovery systems….hmmmmmm
