Thank you all for your service.
And thanks for sharing the pics. It was before my time but I did loose an uncle over there. He was a door gunner on a Huey. Did a couple tours. Got killed the night before he was to come home. My grandma (his sister) has all his medals and his flag. I never met the man but I get really moved when I see that flag. Again thank you all. And thanks for the chopper pics. Heck uncle Larry might of been on one. |

I've heard the whole story behind this battle, I've meet the man who fired the 1st shot (killed 2 NVA to start the battle). My dad drew the first machine gun fire, meet the Corpsman, meet the radioman who was shot in the neck. Meet their 4 Star General. My dads commanding officer came to me and told me about what my dad did, how much he respects him. I think a lot my dads PTSD is from survivors guilt. Gives you a different perspective to hear stories how your dad saved men |

John "Jack" Madden was my dads squad commanding officer, and then left the squad to my dad, he lasted 4 weeks till wounded out at Con Thien.
My dad volunteered to walk the fence, and the other CO told him to stay back and he would, dad said your a short timer with 1 month left, he never made it back, 2 hours later my dad was in a door way when a motor hit in the trench behind him. They thought he died. Was the 1st placed on the helicopter to be med vac out. |

We are at a banquet now.
The guy who put this together kept getting dead ends on getting a color guard here today, so he called General Neal to see if he could get anything done for us. Neal is a 4 Star General of the Marines, he was the CO when the the Marines 1st landed in 65 in Nam. He's a great guy. During the evocation, must have been something in the air, when they talked about the ones they lost, like 2nd LT Bobo who posthumously received the Medal of Honor most of the Marines was in tears or holding them back as hard as they can. My dads CO was talking to me about how my dad served and saved several with his actions, when his time was up, he left the squad to my dad, he lasted 4 weeks before being wounded out. The young Marines here with the color guard are making their rounds talking to everyone, we have a Iwo Jima survivor that was India 3/9 also. These men have seen hell. |

I'm really good at killing threads but I hope that this post won't kill this one.
I'd like to say thank you to all who have served, especially those Vietnam veterans, and I'll tell you why. Your service laid the foundation for many of the tactics, procedures, and strategies that are being used by the current fighters in the global war on terror in the middle east and elsewhere. Your service, your experience, your training, your teachings, and your philosophies have saved the lives of at least 3 of my friends and for that I am truly grateful. ' Even more than that, I am simply grateful for people who have protected this country and its families. There is no way to say "Thank You" in any meaningful way, particularly for anyone who has lost friends and colleagues in wartime. You have my everlasting respect and gratitude and that is something that I simply cannot repay and I know that. Thank you for your service. Words simply do not do justice, nor ever will. As we approach Memorial Day I hope that everyone remembers it as a day of sacrifice, remembrance, and selfless service. For those of you who have heard Taps on Memorial Day, there is nothing more sacred. Thank you to all Veterans and their families. |

When the shit hit the fan in the spring of '72, they moved us to Long Thanh airfield for better security. There was a hook unit (Fly United) and some Mohawks (ASA) stationed on the base at the time along with our Cobras. We commuted from there to Lai Khe for staging and An Loc & Loc Ninh every day for most of our operations during that time. A bunch of flying! We spent at least 10 hours in the cockpit every day. Many days much more. Oh, and we never made it into town or the red-roofed steam & cream. Too much going on for leisure activities. |

The girls ran around mostly naked, most of the time. We were Cav. after all, so we enjoyed the native splendor! Hell one Cav. Troop we visited up North had their own little whore house in their compound. Again, not to offend our hosts we took advantage of their hospitality. I was 19 & 20 y.o. while there, other than all angry little brown people trying to kill us all the time, it seemed like paradise. |

Put me in a room full of booze, naked women and Cav. troopers and the party is on. We went out every day and traded shots with the enemy and often enough some of us didn't come back. Many days it felt like it was your last. When we played, we played hard. We still get together over the 4th of July and try to still party hard, but the years have taken a toll on us old farts, so we can only wish for the old days.
