So long ago so far away. So many friends who wont come back.
I'll not forget and that's a fact. I cant remember all thier
names. Because they say I have no brains. But I remember
all the faces. And I remember all the places. And when we
meet our mortal fate. And we meet beyond the gate. We'll
all look down from up so high and wonder why, then God said in his
softest voice. Because my sons, you had a choice. You
fought the fight you could not win. Don't blame yourself you
didn't sin. Now lay your head upon that softest cloud.
Then I'll look down and I will be proud. Allen DeCook July

I was Recon or Scouts when this person got the silver star for going
back for a radio that fell off a track during Jeager. The reason
I'm saying this is maybe someone will remember me. My Sgt. was a
Hawaiian, was there when the helicopter went down, arrived just after
the track was blown to pieces, almost got one of ours. I forgot
names.

I was in S1. I stayed the whole time at Bearcat. Was with a 2nd Lt, he was once a warrant off. and the mail man. I set up the R and R for the guys. The group I was with (S1) all went down to Dong Tam, I was a short timer, that’s why I stayed at Bearcat. The guys I was with were attacked by mortars March 8, 1967. My good friend Manny Cardenas was killed. My replacement, a black kid named Jones from St Louis suffered wounds to his legs and was sent back to the states. They asked me to go to ‘Graves Registration’ in Saigon to identify Manny’s body, which I did.

Rode lead track March thru May with recon. Remember flying the Skull and Cross Bones. Then went to Tan An airstrip as security guard. Spent last month at Lai Kei on tower with the big starlight scope at nights while there. Three names I remember from the track are Pierre Amos from KC, MO my home state. Bill Mack from Texas and Sgt Skaggs from Kentucky I think. I spoke briefly with Amos on the phone several years ago and heard Skaggs was wounded in the head and sent back to the states. Lost track of Mack coming home. Would enjoy hearing from others who were in the area. I don't remember many names from Binh Phuoc or Tan An. I do remember hitting a mine around the end of March or first of April, the village there was pretty much wiped out by a Cobra and a Napalm bomb from a fighter jet. Two days later we threw a track and overturned in a dry paddy along the road. Was at Binh Phuoc during a mortar attack and was hit in the leg with shrapnel. They took me off the track then and sent me to the airstrip. Learning to live and understand PTSD and willing to help others if you have questions. I have some good resources thru the Vet Center in Anchorage. Welcome home and thank you for your service. Earl Gott

I transferred into the 5th/60th from the 4rd/39th in Sept(?) of '67.
I was a combat medic with Bandido Charlie and sometimes with Recon.
In late '67 early '68, then I worked in the aid station at Binh Phuoc till I Derosed in 5/68.
I had a stroke a few years ago and while I have recovered nicely, it didn't have a very good effect
on my memory. It is still a bit sketchy.
I would love to hear from anyone at all who knew me then.

We didn't come home to ticker tape parades, but we can be proud of our service. No one can take that away. I only hope in the future that the government has a clearer vision as to when to send young men (and now women) into harm's way.

Remember a lot of time running down Thunder road, FB Jaeger and convoys being a driver on the tracks most of the time. Made a lot of friends, have made contact with some of the guys in the last year. It has made life better hearing from them. Hope to see them soon as I can.

I worked in the supply hooch with Capt Dunlap and Jerry Quamme. I was in the bunker beside Earl Haug when he was killed. I tried to pull him out of the bunker but he was already dead. Our M-60 jammed and he and I both were going to try and unjam it but he beat me to it. An RPG rocket then hit the bunker and killed him and gave me minor wounds. I was airlifted to the hop and later to Saigon. I often think on how if I had beat him to the M-60 that I would have been the one killed. As a matter fact, if I remember right, Earl, myself and some other guy had gone to see the Martha Ray USO show a day or two earlier.
