I am a 17 year old step daughter of a vetenam veteran named Joe Reames. I am doing a reasearch paper about the psychological effects of the war on the veterans. I chose this topic to help me in better understanding my stepfather as well as others. I have also always been sort of interested in the whole deal and what it was like. This web page has helped me a great deal and I want to give all my respect and gratitude to all of the vietnam veterans for putting their lives on the line so that I can have the life I do today.:) Sincerey, Cara Hobbs

You certainly have a beautiful little aircraft there, sir. I am a student pilot and there are quite a few Tri-Pacers and Colts at the field I fly from but, none in the kind of condition yours is in. I have always thought them to be neat looking airplanes. Thank you for the wonderful photos!

I FOUND YOUR HOMEPAGE BECAUSE YOU WERE IN THE 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION. I HAD A CHILDHOOD FRIEND, CPL THOMAS SCHALK THAT WAS IN VIETNAM WITH THE 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION ON JUNE 13, 1970. HE WAS KILLED ON JUN 22, 1970 IN CAMBODIA. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I AM TRYING TO LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE 25TH IN VIETNAM DURING HIS TIME THERE. I JUST CAN’T FORGET THIS LONG LOST CHILDHOOD FRIEND OF MINE DURING THE 1950’S.

Dear Dave, I really enjoyed reading about the restoration of your 1952 Tripacer. I to own a Tripacer it’s a 1958 PA-22-150 with the same paint scheme as your’s. N8708D has given me a lot of enjoyment along with my 1941 DC-65 tandem Taylorcraft. I’m in the process of restoring a 1945 BC-12D Taylorcraft. Your’s truly’ Bruce

Wonderful web-site. I have really enjoyed it. I was 25th Arty (1/8th A Btry) 69/70. I was lucky enough to get to return for a visit to the old AO in October 1998. Vietnam has really changed. Yes it was hard to decide to go, but now I feel every vet should return if you can. Thanks again for the opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings.

I do not agree with the government’s decision to send troops to Vietnam for a war that they would not commit to. However, you were a soldier and you have the thanks of another American for serving us.

I found your site while messing around in Secrets of War. I am currently a ground radar surveillence operator (scope dope) and we currently employ the AN/TPS-43 and -75. Whenever I tell anyone (including other military personnel) what I do, they either shrug their shoulders or ask if I’m in AWACS, it’s refreshing to actually see that our career field has a history.

Hello: What a great site – I enjoyed it thoroughly – checked out all the photos and read most of the “essays” from Basic to Homecoming and especially liked the R & R to Tokyo – what an experience. My ex served in DaNang 69/70 – we spent out R&R in the Ala Moana Hale Motel on Ala Moana Hale Blvd in Honolulu – had a marvelous time but too short, of course! My sn is an Army Sgt. presently stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY – just returned from 3 yrs in Germany – 10 months in Bosnia – nice to have him back in the States. Thanks for your service and your page – Welcome Home. ArmyMom

Really enjoyed your writtings Dave,you brought back a lot of long lost memories. Was in A/1/35th 4th Inf 67/68, My brother Dan was there at the same time in the Marines but we never got to see each other. Went to Japan for R&R also and found the Japanese to be the most hospitable of any place I’ve been. The taxis were a real trip though, more later.

Hello, What a great collection of stories and pictures. I must commend you for your writing style, this is one of the nicest pages I’ve ever read. I am a newly minted private pilot at the tender age of 41 (got my ticket 3 days after my birthday in January) and I must say your sentiments about flying with your family for camping, adventure and closeness is shared by me. Since I live in Beaverton (Portland) Oregon, I’m still waiting for the rain to clear so I can start shopping for MY first plane– found a nice PA22-150 in Hood River that sounds like a goody! I hope you still have your TP, and continue to enjoy it for many years. Regards and Happy Landings, Glen Geller

I too was in Cu Chi (mostly at base camp however). I was against the war from start to finish and many good folks died I think for nothing. I got there just in time for the 68 TET and we were rocketed and/or mortared every night for the first few months. I did love Saigon though and curiously enough I work with an engineer (Vietnamese) who was only 5 years old when spirited out of country during the 1975 pullout. Love your web site.

Hi, Thought I’d just jot you a quick line to complement you on your ’52 Pacer. I can remember my very first ride in a general aviation aircraft, and it was in a Tri-Pacer. I’ve been hooked ever since. It is my intention to own a Tri-Pacer someday. Economical, fun to fly, and classic in design. It will always look great. Looks like you take very good care of her. Nice web page too. Regards, EC

Your article “My Thoughts Today” were words I could never come up with. My sons, always proud of the Nam Viet Dad, always wanted to explain to their classmates, “The U.S. soldier was not the reason our goal in Vietnam wasn’t achieved”. You’ve explained it beautifully. I was very proud of all who I served with. Thanks, Coy McNiel Combat Medic 4th Infranty Division, Pleiku 69-70

I have a buddy who I met and went through AIT with at Ft. Polk. We flew to VN together. He went to 25th, I to 9th. Never saw or heard from him again. His name isn’t on the wall, so I’m sure he returned. Anyone knowing of Lawrence Pacquette (Larry), I would appreciate a note. Haven’t been able to locate him through other avenues. Really enjoyed reading your page. Helps with some closure to an otherwise dreadful time in all our lives.
