Hi there, I was with the 25thDivArty in 1967-68 at Tet. Yes, wasn’t Cu Chi, Dau Tieng, Tay Ninh, and all the other places lovely. I was in charge of the Crypto/Codes while there. Nice to see your story. My Best, Dan

Just checked out your site. We were at the same places at approx. the same time. I also spent a few weeks at Tra Cu. I was there for Thanksgiving ’69. Can’t say I miss it but it was interesting in the fact that it was different as it was kind of long and narrow. But it was also so very close to the Cambodian border. Too close if you really look back at it. We spent our time there going on ambush patrol at night. The Navy would bring us out at night and pick us up in the morning. If I remember right, those Navy guys had it pretty good compared to us grunts of the 1/27 Wolfhounds. But looking back, I wouldn’t have changed the experience of the Vietnam War. For those of us who were lucky enough to survive, it made us better men. Thanks for the site. Some of your pictures bring back some good memories, especially the Bob Hope Show that they flew us in for. We spent a few minutes there but we left to go to the PX. It had been over a month in the bush so we were eager to spend some of our money. Richard

I was just trying to find some information for my dad who also servered two terms in the Vietnam War in the 25th Infantry Division. I thought that maybe I could find some sites that would be healing to his soul that still suffers. I found yours to be excellent and I am printing it out for my dad. Maybe you knew him…His name is James (jack) Howerton from Del City, Oklahoma. Keep up the good work and Thank You.
