I was a medic in 1st. platoon went through Shakeys Hill and went to
the 1st. Air Cav. when we busted up. Other docs were Beckman, Truxal,
Howard. Spent a summer with Doc Truxal between Michigan and
Texas right after Nam and it was one of the best times of my life.
Lost touch and want to hook up again. Met Gary Porter and Buddy
West at the Atlanta 500 in 1972. Lost touch with them also.
Got up with Leo Cachu over the phone and that is a great start.
Any home boys out there get in touch.

I was the FO for "A" Company, 5/60th Infantry, from March - September,
1967. I served under 1Lt. Ray Masseau (?SP?), and with platoon
leaders Don Graham, Loren Saxton and John ?? from California. I'd
like to find the big PFC from South Boston, MA, who saved me from
drowning in a narrow but very deep stream in or about June - August
1967, as well as any others who served with me at that time. I'd
also like to connect with my Recon Sgt., Bill Kelly, from Illinois,
and my RTO, Gordon Iverson, from Washington State. A lot of what
we did is just a blur for me now.

I was an RTO for the 1st squad, 1st platoon of Company A. I
stayed on line for about 7 months, extended an extra 30 days so I
could get an early separation. Does anyone remember Hue and her
family who lived right outside of our base camp. We did a lot of
LP's from around her hooch.

sent to 5th 60th. My high school buddy Eugene Wesson was with
the 5th 60th A company and when I got to Rach Kein I was assigned to A
company and we had a great reunion. Six months later I was
transferred to HHC at Tan An to S-3 and Wesson was transferred to
Americal Division.

I went to Viet Nam on the Uss Wiggle. We left from Oakland Ca.
Dec.1,1966. I was with the 1st Platoon 2nd Squad A Co. 5th/60th (mech).
After we landed in Viet Nam we went to Bear Cat, then moved north to
Bien Son. We stayed there for about a month then we moved south to the
Mae Cong Delta. Our base camp was suppose to be Tan An, but our
company moved around a lot and we were never in the base camp. We
would load the APCs with ammo and C-ration, then move to various areas
in the Delta, build bunkers stay there for a few weeks, send out
patrols, set up ambushes, ect. Then we would move out to another area,
and do it all over again. I think it was around Feb. 1967 when we set
up a perimeter around Dong Tam to guard the area while they were
building the base camp there. After we left there we went to an area
more south of Dong Tam. I think it was around the first part of April,
the 3rd of the 39th Inf. got into a major battle just south of Siagon.
Our unit 5th/60th was called upon to go from the Delta north to the
battle site and support the 3rd/39th in the battle. We had to drive
all day to get there. When our unit arrived, there were jets from
Saigon making air strikes, plus heavy artillery and major fire fights
going on. Shortly after we arrived, the VC started to break contact.
We tried to head off their tactical withdraw, but we didn't make much
contact with them. After that we went back south to the Mea Cong
Delta. The last place I was while in country was Bien Phuoc. I was
wounded there on April 10, 1967, and got a one way ticket home.

I was in heavy weapons platoon from Fort Riley until the day I left
Viet Nam. We were attached to battalion recon in early spring of 1967,
as an 81 mm mortar squad and scouted the area where the fire base at
Binh Phouc was later built. Would love to hear from any 5/60 veterans.

I arrived in Vietnam in May 68 with A Co. 5/60 Infantry. Our basecamp was Binh Phuoc. We were a mechanized outfit but we did leg work as well. We conducted ambushes, heli-borne missions, and sweeps all over the Mekong Delta area. After 4 or 5 months in Country our battalion was swapped out with A Co. 1/16 Infantry (1st Infantry Division) and we moved north to our basecamp at Lei-Khe. I drove an APC carrier, ran over a landmine, blew my guys off of the top but luckily no one was killed in that incident. We did lose Gen Ware and several of my close friends in battles later on. I came back to the states in July of 69 and finished my tour at Ft. Carson, CO. My Capt there was Paul Garrell. If anyone is still around, I would love to hear from you.

I was at Binh Phouc when I went to Cambodia, then back to Binh Phouc
for "Eagle Flights". I was one of the soldiers that stayed behind to
gaurd Binh Phouc on the last night to turn it over to the Viet Namese
the next morning. During the night, we called in a medavac for a guy
named Dickey and the brave chopper pilots landed even though they were
fired upon....that was the last night ever for the 9th at Binh Phouc.
Then, we were redeployed to other units and I ended up in Cu Chi with
the 2nd/27th of the 25th division....then I was sent to MACV Advisory
Team #32 at Ghia Ghnia in the Quan Duc Province (if I spelled that
right).
