It's the A Co, 35th Cbt Engr guy again. Just a couple of memories from 68. Anyone remember the Quad 50 on the deuce and a half at the bridge called "Respect"? The LRP's used to land their Hueys on our beach for a 24 hr stand down and swim, which we were not allowed to do. In Dec 68 I went onto a Firebase on QL1 to see the comedian Joey Bishop choppered in. He was there 10 minutes till incoming. Does anyone know which FB that was?

I was with A Co, 35th Cbt Engr Bn located on QL1 at Lang Co. We did mine sweep every day on QL1 and road security as well as day security on the bridge and ran the rock crusher. Dec 31 1968 We moved up to Phu Bai, then Hue, then down to Soc Trang in the Delta. Was up on the Los Banos a few times in 68, but never could remember the name until now. We also did some stuff with 2/502 in 68. Glad to see the photos

My Dad, George G. Young served in the 101st Airborne 327th Infantry CO-B 2d bn. I don't know much about his time there because he never spoke much about it. He was in Vietnam somewhere around Fall of 66 to the summer of 67 from what I can dig up. He had passed away in 2001. I have recently begun a search for information on him during the war. I have some paper work and various things left behind from him but would like to know more.

I was just checking out google maps and found out they made a national park out of our old ao in viet nam. It is called Bach Ma National Park and runs from about where tomahawk was back to the Ruang Ruang Valley. Check it out there are some great photos of what it all looks like now and a few from back then. Hope all is well with everyone things are good here. jackhenryrealtor@aol.com

I served with HQ Co. 1/327 until February 1966 when I went to B Co. as a replacement for casualties suffered in the fight at My Cann II 2nd Feb, 1966. I was on a machinegun crew at My Phu on March 3, 1966 where Jack Lindsey, the gunner and Graham were killed. Also, Norman Buell the brave dedicated medic of 1st platoon was killed there too. I served in several fights until I was hospitalized with a fever at the 8th Field Hospital in Nha Trang around the first part of August and returned to Phan Rang the 1st Brigade Base camp for return to the states and discharge from the army on 18th August, 1966. I want to mention Knight the other machinegunner of weapons squad, Michael Hartness my assistant gunner and Wainscott a member of 1st platoon.

I was transferred to MASS-3, on Freedom (327) Hill, Danang, when the Marine Air Traffic Control Unit(MATCU)at Chu Lai rotated to CONUS about August, 1970. I was a fish out of water at MASS-3. I was a young radar thech barely out of radar school when I got orders to RVN. I knew nothing about what a MASS was or did. I later found out that we used a type of radar system to provide CAS suoort units in the field. Given the appropriate coordinates, we could direct suitably-equipped fighter-bombers to give precise CAS as needed.
The powers in charge I was best suited at FSB Birmingham and the ASRT located there, as p/o the 13 man detachment. I wound up being the designated grunt because there basically was nothing else there I could do.
The day I arrived @ B'ham, I was greeted by a 1st Lt. who was the det. OIC. He told me that "we have everything up to and including 8" self-propelled howitzers." He then informed me that everyone in the det. carried 2 weapons. What did I want? I asked him what was available, and he showed me a large wooden crate full of various weapons. I found a functional M-79 in there, and requested double 00 buckshot rounds. When asked why I wanted that type of round, my response was that I wanted something effective up close and personal in case everything "up to and including 8" self-propelled howitzers" didn't work.
We didn't have much interaction w/US Army personnel, 'tho I was also periodically designated to brief the Army Col. about our radar missions. We did have a running difference w/him about military customs (saluting)between the Army & Marines.
I rotated home in Dec., 1970. I left B'ham on 22 Dec., and stepped off the commercial NW Orient flight in Seattle, WA @ 2230, 24 Dec.
I have some B'ham pix if anyone is interested.

Hello, I'm hoping to find my father Richard Torres or any of his service records. He was a paratrooper 101st Airborne Div.
Fort Campbell 1960 -1964 is my guess. I was born the same year he graduated from high school 1960 and I think it was Dec.of 64 that crowds of people waited for the soldiers to land. I started school and never saw him again. Well that's my story and l'm sticking to it but I would like to at least be able to see his name or a photo the littlest bit of info means a great deal to me
