Terry you are doing one h___ of job with your site.I check it quite often looking for our brothers that did the deal. Just the other day H. McKay signed in I didn't know if he made it after getting hit on Mead River. I also learned that Kelly didn't make t, he had come to see me while I was with the 1st. MAW in DaNang. That had to be shortly before he was KIA. Knowing Kelly he is probably God's radio man, take care and keep up the good work. Semper Fi Joe

Hey Sarge, I was visiting your site, specifically the the "Brothers After the War" page, and I received an error when trying to sign your guestbook. I don't know if you are aware of that, but I hope you get the opportunity to fix it. I know it seems like a strange complaint, and it isn't really, but I was looking forward to letting you and your visitors know that there are people who give a shit that you took the time and effort to put that web page up. My Mother pointed me in the direction of your site. You see, she was friends with one of your brothers, Gary Breck. Apparantly she worked with him and used to hang out and party with him too. She didn't say much beyond that, and I don't pry. I guess she knows I am kinda hypersensitive to those issues. I served as a U.S. Marine from 1989 to 1993. I signed that contract and swore to the oath keeping you and your brothers in mind. Not you specifically, but the kind of men you represent. The kind of men who made this country what it is and the kind of men to whom we all owe our freedom. Thankfully, men like you and your brothers have been around since the America's beginning. They signed the document declaring our independence, embodied the constitution and bill of rights, and fought every battle under the red, white, and blue. Sure they weren't all for America's Independence or for the Constitution or even for the defense of our citizens abroad. But that matters not. While the uniforms have changed throughout the years, the men wearing them have not. You are among the most noble of Men, and I am sorry that history has mistreated you. Most of all, I am sorry you had to lose your brothers. I have always believed that the American Fighting man is the finest American this country has to offer. No, we aren't all that knight in shining armor, we don't always do the right thing, and we aren't the most presentable lot. But we have gold for blood. Gold that has bought this country freedom. Most of our countrymen walk around ignorant to their debt that finer men have payed for them. It hurts to see it. I know that today's "conflicts", or whatever we call them, are vastly different from the war you fought, and I respect that. But I too lost brothers in war. Daniel Walker, Ismeal Cotto, Dave Snyder, and Scott Schroeder all lost their lives on Jan 29th, 1991. They were my Squadmates, and I watched them die in a lonely desert. That wasn't all though, 7 more men in the Company I was attached to died that night. Three more died in an accident egressing from an arty strike that we were to provoke. The first funeral I ever attended was for 14 men on the desert floor in a place without distinction. To a certain extent, I understand your losses. I guess I just wanted you to know that. Amongst today's warriors, you are well respected. Cpl. Jason P. Brown U.S.M.C 1st Light Armored Infantry Battalion 1st MarDiv

Cool site,I wish others would do what you have done. It's so nice to see the brighter side of the military from your prespective,I'm sure those days put alot of anxiety into alot of people in and out. I myself am retired.I joined in 77,when every little thing was a pain in the ass,including the TI's,but now that I look back I sure do miss the commrodity and the places I went. Find some more pictures and post them all up.I think you've done a great job. The GOOD,the BAD and the UGLY. I go to the VFW sometimes here in Utah and talk to the guys and they sure have alot of laughs talking about eachother and about then,even though they were hard times,you still had time to make a few budies along the way. I really enjoy talking to those guys and some are from Pearl Harbor some are from Vietnam. Believe me they can make me laugh anytime. Take it light.

Thanks for a sobering site, and for sharing your memories with us. If you ever get tired of your photographs laying around, you might send them to the Army Museum in Carlisle, PA.. Thanks for the idea to link to a genealogy site, I should share my grandfa her's WWI diary, too. And last, a big THANK YOU to you, and for all of those who gave their lives serving this country.

Semper Fi! Brother. Got on to this site and looked at the map and thuoght i was getting ready for another convoy. Its the first time I have seen that area on a map since I left The Nam. Ran convoys down your way just about once a week. I was with 11th Motor Trans Btn. Out f Danang. Drank a lot of that rotgut Jim Beam at Liberty Bridge waiting for clearance from the mine sweep team so we could get to An Hoa. Didn't get there till June of 70 though and you were already back in the world. That was some ride though. Danang as so close but so far away. Lost some really good Bro's along that ride through Arizona territory. My first convoy in country was to An Hoa. I was the lucky one to get the 50 cal. Boy standing on that seat trying to hold on to that sucker on that road as a trip. My first rocket attack in The Nam was down at the ammo bunkers at the base. I think the ammo bunkers were close to the mess hall. Its been a while, but this site brought a lot back that i thought i forgot. Well i rambled on enough. Great si e. I'll be back. Goodnight Chesty whereever you are. Later Birdman

I enjoyed your pictures. I was married to a Marine for 38yrs and lost him. After 5 tours in Nam and he came home the Stupid cigs took him away from me. He waS in Chu Lai and DaNang in the Airwing. Then back a forth to El Toro. He retired in 1979 with 0yrs and 2 days. Those 2 days were so important to him. Good luck on your future and your Web Site Sharon O Oregon

Was with 3/26 AnHoa,Jan 69, guess you guys relieved us there or we were there same time. 3/26 left there and went to Hill 55 (I believe) then to other places during the tour. I was attached temporarly to a radio relay unit on a hill called RC Bana (big sh t) anyway, I left in Jan 70 and returned to VietNam in Feb 71 was with the supply unit over there by Danang (Red Beach). I'm now retired, retired in 1990, GySgt and work for LAPD as a Detention Officer (jailer). I see that a lot of guys have started there own web pages to find others, this is good. I'm currently in contact with a Sgt on Embassy duty in Hanoi. Be glad to hear from anyone. My nickname in Nam was and still is "AJ". Later. Semper Fi

I remembered a lot of faces in your pictures. Do ou remember Jim (Jimbo) Seay who was from AR at that time? I've been hoping to contact him. We were very tight over there. Lost contact after getting WIA and being evacuated to Japan. Keep up the good work on your page.

That picture of the bridge is refreshing my memory of traveling that road from An Hoa to DaNang back in 68-69. I was with 2/5 Batallion Supply and we made plenty of trips over that bridge. One trip especially...my driver and I were late for the convoy lea ing An Hoa one evening. I was the NCO at the time and I made the decision of leaving the An Hoa compond and try to catch the convoy in our truck. We were the only truck on that stretch of road that day and the Good Lord was with us all the way to the brid e. Just before the bridge I spotted an NVA flag off to my left in the woods. We were lucky and I was such a fool to take such a chance! Stayed overnight with the convoy on the other side of the bridge!

So many of us had friends, lovers, brothers, fathers and uncles who served and to be able to know a littlle of their li es in Nam is a blessing. I'm a genealogy buff and if you haven't, you should in some way link your site to USGenweb, Rootsweb, etc. for those searching for their ancestors in years to come. They will forever be in your debt!
