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.

Hooah and welcome back home brother. I was doing some deeprecon 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 . Good job here Dave…Keep up the good work.

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

Nice site, comprehensive, another voice well spoken. The stereotypes of Nam vets was so horrendous — but not all the fault of the media. Some guys elected to be professional vets; worse, wannabes really clouded the issue. The most sound testimony to our making it back in The World are folks like you, uncompromising, understated. We all lead by our walk, not our talk. And please remember, some of us went into the media and brought much understanding and truth to the issue.

Dave, I’m Russ and was with the 725TH radar section at Cu Chi. I went Go Da Hau FSB many times from Mar 69-Feb70. I repaired the Q-4’s and the PPS-5’s and PPS-4’S. I helped call in artillery once when the mortar tracking Q-4 was waiting parts with the warrent officer for the set. Lots of fun that night on that wooden tower the Q-4 used. I didn’t fix any of the 25’s like you operated but Smitty did and I bet you met him. He was a tall slim boy from Oklahoma. He’s no longer slim but he visits me sometimes in Las Vegas which is my home. I have his e-mail address if you want it. I went to most of the Fire Support Bases and really enjoyed it, except for the part about being scared xxxxless all the time. Ha You guys did a great job and really helped the units over there at the time and if no one has ever said it. THANKS ALOT………..Russ
