First, I am very pleased to find this great page. As a Marine Gunner with HMM165/CH46's and flying off of the LPH-10 U.S.S. Tripoli in support of OP-Mead River,Thanksgiving 1968,we had 10 K9 Army men and dogs working with us. If I'm not mistaken, we lost all of those great fighters and there dogs as well as many fine young Marines. Not long after that I went down as well.! God bless all of them "Wheels"165 young

I remember alot of you guys and have some pictures I've kept through the years. If anyone out there would like to write I sure would like to hear from you all. My address is as follows: 277 Fergus Rd. LaVergne,Tn 37086

The site looks great. I especially like the listing of 1st Cav firebases. Where did you get that info? Welcome home - brothers.

Very educational, as well as impressive, I am always impressed to to see such ideas on the network. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully will be able to link up with some of the men I served with. Thank you for this opportunity.

I have been hoping to locate some of the people I served with. This site looks like my best bet to locate these persons........Keep up the good work

Very well done. I had the honor of commanding the escort detacment that brought the brought the Division Colors back from Viet Nam and retired them at Ft. Lewis in November, 1971. It is good to see the fine traditions of the Americal Division preserved.

This is a very good site. Thanks.

Would like to know is there any way to type in a name anywhere on the internet and locate missing buddies. Not phone searches but by military history.

I have yet to find any history about my unit (E-Co 1/52 198 LIB).

Great site. Saw a booklet at the Wall from the 196th and wanted to register. It has been a long time.

I am trying to find two names on The Wall. Anyone who served in my unit (A Co., 4/21, 11th LIB) from 1/15/69 to 2/15/69 may be able to help.

I am not a Vet, but I think this site is a good idea for all military and ex-military people to find each other.

Was a member, but had quit do to early retired.Will join again as soon as i get my VA disability.

Served with the Staff Judge Advocate. Was present when we closed down the base after a TYPHOON flattened the place. Moved on to HQ MACV for remaining months of tour.

Gary Mendez and I say Hi to anyone of our fellow vets from B 1/6.

I trained with the 199th Light Infantry at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and flew to Vietnam with the Brigade, which was under the command of Brigadier Gen. Rider. I was wounded in March. 1967 and was flown back to the States., I have an Honorable Disability Retirement as an E-5. Great Page!

Thanks for having this site. I hope someday to meet some of the men I served with in Nam once again. They were the best! Thanks for having these pages. Brings back thoughts of times and places long ago. I hope someday to visit a reunion. All the best to those in the 544th, later the security platoon of the Americal Division.

I was an engineer platoon leader attached to the 11th Brigade on LZ Dottie in 1971. You've done a good job on your web page.

The Americal Pages is the best military board on the WEB.

Great sight! After spending 13 months at Chu Lai your web page taught me things I didn't know.

Very impressive, not to busy. Font for the response could be larger to better facilitate READING with "older" eyes.

I never thought I would I forget my friends names, I hope I can find some of them here.

Just discovered the site, think it's great!

This has been a great help. Hope I can locate my old buddy.

I just got on line and found you guys. The page is great and I'm just going through the information. I'm a member of the Association but only have active through the news letter which I enjoy immensely. Keep up the good work.

Oh, yes did meet a great group of the members at the ten year reunion at the Vietnam Memorial. God speed.

Great site. Thanks a lot. Found one guy already who saw my Locater ad and e-mailed me. Same Co. but we probably didn't know each other. It's still a small world 28 years later.

My thoughts are PRIVATE!

I'd like to join. What do i need to do?

Happened to come by your site and enjoyed reading the story of the helicopter rescue. I never had to go across the water. Hats off to everyone who did. Day in and day out you did your job like you were supposed to. Too bad you didn't get the support you deserved from back home.

Dutch introduced me to this site-wow; great page ('am still surfing through it). 'Am finishing school next week and learned HTML/Front Page-am excited about this whole Net shihbang! I'm going to your Army Award page next. Keep up the great work!

It's a pleasure to sign the book,I was with The Americal Div just the one year but wore the "Cross" on my uniform for over 20 years of service with the Regular Army. I'am retired now, a grandfather and looking towards the future so with your help maybe I'll find some Cross-Buddies in my future to talk with. Thanks,

Great web page. I belong to the 196th L.I.B. Assoc. I served with the 3/21 Inf. until the middle of Jan. 1967, then got transferred to the 25th Div. in Cu Chi.
Anyone remember Nui Bai Dinh.

Looking for anyone that may have been in co.#291, Great Lakes, 1967, and anyone who might have been on the USS Parle(DE-708), 1968-1970.

This is a wonderful thing! My father has been searching for people in his divionsion for a long time and has had no luck in finding the people. I hope this will help!

Enjoyed viewing comments from fellow "Polar Bears". Hope to see some of you at the 196th reunion. Former CO of C 4/31, Plt Ldr. D 4/31.

Hello from Bosnia. Even though I am still in the military and currently serving in Bosnia I wear the Americal patch with pride. I have seen one other guy here with the Americal patch, I am looking forward to talking to him.

Just getting started. Hope to visit often.

Nice thing to have this site. Thank you for all the work.

It helps to reach out, to remember...to feel a link with others, when so few others understand. Thanks for being there Americal.

I hope this site will help me find some old buddies that I was grunting with in the boonies.

I just found ADVA and hope to be able to locate some of my old friends from the 174th.

I think this is a good service and should bring back memories.

Through your service, we've connected a group of guys who were working off stinson- we're having a reunion 6/19-22 outside Springfield, Mass and will also go up to the main reunion. Will be at least 9 and perhaps as many as 12 or more getting together for 1st time in 25 years +--Thanks for your help!

Best regards to Veterans.
