June 1997

I think that WEB Site is done very nice. Brings back a lot of memories. My only bitch is that there is no CMB image at he begining of Army Wards and Decorations section, but there is a image of CIB same section. Medics fought just as hard as grunts did!

Looks good-I'll come back again to try and locate some friends from LZ Baldy.

Prior Active Duty Army 1984-1995, Stationed at A 1/65 ADA Ft. Bliss; B 3/60 ADA Hohenfels; Letterman Army Medical Center, Presidio of San Francisco; HQ EUCOM, Stuttgart.

Time has healed some wounds. And there are still the scars. I'm interested in knowing what happened after I hit the tripgrenade while walking point south of Lu Lai.Co.A 5/46 198Bde 3/68-5/12/68.Work for DVA as a mental health counselor currently.Nice page, great service to Americal veterans.

I appreciate you putting together this web site on ADVA. I have found it to be very useful. Thank You.

curiosity brought me to look for some of the guys i served with in nam. after this many years their names run together I remember jimmy carpenter from lubbock texas and a guy named clark fro om oklahoma who was superstitious about throwing your hat on the bed

I am most impressed with your site. It was suggested to me via e-mail by someone who replied to an "ad" I had in the Militarily Seeking section (Seekers) on the 'net - for anyone who might have known my husband's step-father, David McArtor, who served in DucPho 68-69 w/11th Inf Brig. Best wishes to you all.

Inducted in Cleveland, OH.

Also was with 11th Bde at Schofield Barracks. 6th support Bn, and 6/11 Arty. Would love to hear from annyone from these units

Hello from River Falls Wisconson. I am very proud to have served with the Charlie Tigers of Co C 3rd Bn. 21st Infantry of the 196th Light Infantry Bdg. 67to8/68 We were a very good unit with great leadership and many many good troops. Ihave many fond memories of these good men and i wish them all well.

Thanks for this chance to find friends and to be found. The very best to all who served and to their loved ones.

Good, effective

After years of trying to forget, it's a pleasure to start to remember. Best of Luck to all.

Thank you for your service!! I am always looking for the good friends that I served with. I miss them and hope to find them soon!

Didn't find anyone, but thanks for the memories. I will check back once in awhile.

Enjoyed the info here. There is one thing you need to check on. You listed, "Co.B,123rd Avn Bn (Airmobile)...the word in parentheses should be "Aeroscout". I commanded the unit from Oct 70-Apr 71
Have a nice day

I made my last note before reading other ones. On the first pass I found someone I served with. It's great. I have one more suggestion for your researchers. I did not see the 161st Avn Co. I know it eventually became Co. A, 123rd Avn Bn but until Dec 67, when it was used as the start for both A & B Co, 123rd Avn Bn, it was still 161st if I'm not mistaken and therefore had unit awards of its own. I was the unit operations officer from Aug 67-Feb 68.
Keep up the good work

Great! Semper Fidelis! Hope friends and Marines who know me will write me! VMFP-3 reunion? Hope so!

New to internet and this makes me wish i had started from the beginning.

Typhoon did a job on Americal Hq in Chu Lai, probably Sept. or Oct. '71, just before Division colors cased. Finished my tour at DaNang with 196th (10th PID).

This is a very helpful home page for vets & families. WE have the priviledge of have the "Moving Wall" in Boise for a week at our Boise River Festival celebration. I was there at 6:00am this morning, Governor Phil Batt read the opening proclamation and some appropriate remarks on KBCI 2 tv news. I'm helping out as a volunteer at the "Moving Wall"

I think your online page is very helpful to a lot of guys looking for info.

Thank you for having a website.

Home address is as follows:
1824 Ridge Road
Leavenworth, KS 66048

Retired at Ft.Lewis, Wa.

I would like to use this to try to find old friends. Also, to keep up to date with Americal Div. news.

What I have seen of ADVA so far looks good. Would like to hear from anyone who might remember me.

This is a very worth while activity, it seems like to me. Gary...I found it...

Thanks for the site.

I am not currently a member of this site. I served on AGR status for the past 22 years with the New Jersey Army National Guard on Active Duty. I am now 90% disabled soon to be 100% from medical illnesses caused by the Active Army Military personnel thru medical procedures.

This is a great page!

During OP-Mead River 1968 I served aboard the U.S.S. Tripoli LPH-10...the Greater Gator.! While on board we were assigned Army men and their dogs to help root out the cong and NVA. It was Thanksgiving and we flew dinner.. (HOT TURKEY & DRESSING & cranberry sauce etc. etc.to these brave men ). Mead-River was a common BASTARD, and we lost all of the K9 teams as well as many brave young Marines..!! Can anyone tell me how many teams and dogs were lost!

Nice looking Home Page.

Just got a new tower. our last one was broken. lost everything we had on it. thought i'd reregister. still looking for anyone who might have served with this unit during the time I was there. was wounded around july or august 71 and sent home. names are hard to remember. feelings and happenings are not.

I think this is a great organization. My hat is off to you for the help you supply to the past and present comrades.

I think your web page is great, but I can't seem to find anyone in WW2 that is in your page.

I am submitting this for my dad. As a father's day gift in 1996, I designed and continue to maintain a web site (http://www.io.com/~middleb) for him. My dad wrote and published a book taken from his notes entered daily into his pilot's diary during the last five months of 1943 and the first ten months of 1943. During this time he served as a World War II, United States Air Corps pilot in the southwest Pacific war zone. The web site is dedicated to his book.

Please send me some information about the organization. Thanks.

Thanks for a fine Home Page.

I think you've got a good thing going here, and I wish more people would read it and use it. I was in the brigade Public Information Office at LZ Bayonet, where we turned out the monthly "newspaper" (on a mimeograph machine, no less). It'd be nice to hear from anybody in the old crew, but there weren't that many of us.

I "accidentially" ran across someone I knew of in Nam! Am interested in hearing from anyone from Co A 1/20, 11LIB who served during the same times. (1969-70)

Served Fort Richardson, Alaska, 536 Trans. 1st Battle Group, 23rd. Infantry. Looking for others from 536 Transportation company during that time. Thanks for setting up the page for the 23rd.(904) 997-3555

learned a lot from this site got so much Information.
thank you,

Good Site!! Keep up the good work!

I am the son of Raymond (Mac) McGee who served in the division during WWII. He was a 1st Lt, infantry, and was wounded and evacuated from Cebu, Pi. If you can tell me anything about his service we would like to hear from you. In his memory,

Would like to find men that served there in those years. (Korea 1951-53)

I think this is fantastic, You all deserve a lot of credit keep up the good work.

JUST CURIOUS OF WHAT I CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THE INFORMATION I CAN GET (PICTURES,ECT.) DURING THE PERIOD I WAS IN VIET NAM

I was in the USAF & 377 Trans Sq TDY to 8th Aerial Port in 69-70-71 Mobile maint 463L aircraft loading equipment. My orders stated [anywhere in the georaphical limits of So Viet Nam. Worked lam Son 719 at Khe San in Feb 71. Great Site and service you are offering... Salute!

Most of your pages were unreadable with Netscape - had to switch to Explorer.

Great site....I have visited your site many times in hopes of finding people I served with. If anyone was in chu lai with the 176TH AHC 5/70-4/71 I would be glad to here from you....

I think this Americal Division homepage is one of the best things that's happened. This page urged me to look up and call a friend I hadn't spoken to in 28 years.

Keep up the good work!

This is a great home page and your booth at the Vietnam Veterans reunion at Melbourne, Florida in April of this year was very professional! Any guys from LZ Gator, Buff, Dottie, or Minuteman out there(1968-1969)?

I found your web page on the internet. I wanted to take a minute to let you know that I found it very helpful and informative. I currently serve as president of the 11th Armored Cavalry's Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia (11th ACVVC). We are looking at trying to develope a web site for our organization also. You've given us some good ideas. Thanks. I also know Ron Ward (PNC) and have been corresponding with Rolan Castronova (PNC). Keep up the good work.

I love this page. See you at the reunion. If anyone out there is from my company (Co. C 1/52 198th ), feel free to email me at jayflanagan@sprintmail.com. Love you all.

Welcome home brothers and sisters!

Seeking information about the ships LST 949, USS Repose and USS Samaritan. I left Hingam shipyard Boston on the LST 949 in 1944.
