  1. George Reischling · Rutledge

    "To those who have fought for it, Life has a flavor that the protected will never know" 25th Infantry Division -Tay Ninh- Cu Chi- 3/22nd Infantryman 69-70 Courage on the Mountain- courageonthemountain.com

  2. p landers

    USAF Forward Air Controller, 2d BDE, Dong Tam.5/67-5/68, except for a couple of short temporary duties to Bear Cat and to Vung Tau. Lost several good 2 BDE friends along the way, including CPT Bob Reeves, who was in my squadron at the Air Force Academy. Flying and working with the MRF as a FAC was one of my most frustrating and challenging assignments given the rules of engagement and the complexities of air/artillery fire support. But it was personally satisfying to be part of a historic operation.

    Orders to Naval Support Activity Saigon Sept.69. Assigned to det AnThoi aboard APL-21 tied up to USS TUITAWILA Off Phuoc Island in gulf of Siam supporting swift boats of coastal squadron 1 & others. APL-21 eventually was condemned bc of excessive leakage & had to transfer all contents & stores to replacement APL 30 in May of 70. We were ordered to be towed up river to Operation Sea Float but cooler heads prevailed after small supply ship Mark was destroyed by a mine headed up river. Later towed to Dong Tam to support PBR’s. Exit Ton Sa Nut Nov 70. Love to hear from anyone who served aboard either of these tubs. Welcome Home Brother’s & Sister’s!
