Reporting that David Arthur Wethington, ET3 passed away on October 27, 2017. I knew David when we served aboard the USS Whitfield County LST-1169. A nice guy that lived life to the fullest.
RIP shipmate. -

My Dad David Mead served in Vietnam as a Wireman in the 2nd Brigade 9th Infantry Division in 1968(?). He didn't really like to talk about the time he served much, but I know he was very proud to say that he was part of the 2nd Brigade 9th Infantry Division. He passed away in 2009 suddenly. He left us with so many great memories, but there was always that part of him that he didn't want to share. I truly appreciate all of you who served, and I know how hard it was when you came back. Before he passed away he was finally ready to deal with a lot of the things he saw over there, but was never given that opportunity. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Song Ong Doc, HAL-3, Det-6....
I was at Song Ong Doc, on October 20 1970... There is an error in LCDR Lee Wahler USNR account of the two Det 6 SeaWolf Helicopters, They were sitting on the helo pad when the attack occurred. During the attack Det 6, "Scrambled" and provided rapid air support while the attack was still very much in progress...I "kid" was sitting?firing from the right door of the trail helicopter with a birds eye view of the battle. Det 6 rotated off coverage with Det 1 when we required fuel and ammo at Solid Anchor..We stayed airborne above SOD, (As well as landing the lead bird at night for rescue of persons still on the ground) until daylight, then landed at SOD before going out to the LST Garret County. There is much more to this story then told here...(kid, Det-6 Gunner/Crew-Chief, witness) -

I was in the Annapolis Hotel on July 10, 1969 but do not recognize the other sailors.
I was on the YRBM-21 and am surprised it is not on your list of vessels. We were anchored up river from the USS Benewah for a number of months on the Mekong River. One of their PBR's were responsible for the renaming of our Beer Barge to the "Last Chance Saloon". The river had changed direction, so they went into Cambodia instead of back to their ship. -
