The Fading (Lest We Forget)
On a day both cold and gray
A gentle man has passed away.
No one noticed, no one cared.
His life alone was seldom shared.
His home was shady, calm and dark,
A hidden tree within the park.
Alone, he thought of all the ways
That haunted memories ruled his days.
Once, a different story told
Of days of glory to unfold.
But, Fate took choice from young men�s hands,
And sent them off to foreign lands.
Young and strong they took a stand,
Protecting democratic land.
For our freedom they have lost
All their youth at such a cost.
Once at home they were reviled;
Stories spoke of soldiers wild.
A few were troubled�most were not.
With pride and honor, they bore their lot.
Some went off, alone and grieving.
Cursed and spat on, disbelieving,
Traumatized from such an error,
They lived the past with nights of terror.
One vet stood out most of all.
I watched him take a harder fall.
Afraid that he might lose this fight,
He fogged his mind with frenzied flight.
For safety�s sake, he hid his life
To shelter us from all his strife.
He found a place where he called home,
Away from where most people roam.
And here he lived a life obscure,
He dulled his pain with alcohol�s cure.
But, alcohol, a fickle friend,
Turned on him and forced his end.
In days long past we placed our dreams
In care of men whose lives�--it seems--
Were intertwined within our own;
We let them know they weren�t alone.
Soldiers were immortalized
We looked to them with hopeful eyes.
When US flags in pride unfurled,
Brave and strong, they saved the world.
Days long gone, and now unknown,
Veterans are tossed a bone.
No cash, nor shelter, but a wall,
Placed upon the far off Mall.
Most soldiers never have the time
To visit such a place sublime.
While others simply cannot go;
They have no means, no one to owe�
And, so, a quiet soldier sighs
Without the wall to grace his eyes.
His end is finally drawing near,
Release, at last, from pain and fear.
Yet, honor still within him rests,
Brave and proud he passed war�s tests.
He gave his all to quell our fears,
But, now, he quits this veil of tears.
And, though no one will ever cry,
And, though old soldiers never die.
Still, upon this cold, gray day
Another soldier fades away. [email protected] on 12/25/99

A friend of mine is going into the V.A. hpspital in January 24 2000 for total knee reconstruction. He is thinking about postponeing it as he is afraid his wife's ckeckes won't be enought to pay all of there bills while he layed up. As his disiblity insurance won't start untill he is out of work for 90 days.
What I had in mind is give him a card shower with a small cash gift in it to help them over this hard spot and he get's back on his feet and back to work.
His name and address is Burt C Greenfield Jr.

Jerry from MI & Covan: PLEASE, let's stop the "war of words"! I know we REMFS fought a "different war" than the GRUNTS, but I also know this is fruitless! For myself, I can only remember those I helped to prepare for the "final shipment" home. So many torn apart - so many families torn - isn't it time to come to terms with ourselves? Some of us endured the frightful battles - some endured the aftermath. Please, let us have PEACE, if only amongst ourselves? I've been there/done that, and don't like the anti-feelings being expressed!

Richard Brown from KY, you sir are a BROTHER, you talk the talk and i can deduce that you walk the walk. Its a terrible thing when we cant trust anymore, but hell we couldnt trust the hippies in the past. Remember they talked all that love and peace stuff but still created trouble for us coming home. So that you know REMF's as i stated were way back from forward areas. Now a lot of guys like, truck drivers who drove the roads and got ambushed arent Remfs,they got me my bullets and beans, neither are MP's who had convoy guard. But i spent a month in the hospital in vung tau, all remfs stationed there. doing a good job mind you but still remfs. in cam rahn where they had lifeguard MOS and stuff like that-Remfs. till 70 when the sappers did a job on em. too bad. but still remfs, except for a couple buds i had in the hospital there who had got there million dollar wounds and the damn remfs couldnt even protect them in the safest place in Nam. saigon warriors, now that was a bunch of remfs. see Mr. Brown it just takes a little chit chat and i already know i would buy you a beer. Now d fisher i dont know about.
But read me loud and clear DFISHER. JUST BECAUSE WE WERE IN VIETNAM DOESNT MAKE US BROTHERS. THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS A COMBAT ZONE BUT THERE WERE MANY VARYING DEGREES OF COMBAT. MINE WAS (A EXPRESSION FROM TODAY)24/7/359 (GOT SOME R N R)
Because i have fought for liberty i have the freedom and the right as you do to choose my buds. dont know how much time you spent wet, cold, hungry and scared. probably not much. did you ever hold your bud waiting for a dustoff, and feel him die. someone you shared a canteen with, chow with, made plans to do things in the world with. killed dinks with. i dont think so. maybe one day the remfs will get it like the american public finally has. and hey dfisher yes i know remfs can get PTSD its under the DMS also as like a guilt syndrome i have heard it described. i dont begrudge them but just take ownership that a remfs war and a grunts war were worlds apart. and never the twain shall meet.

OK, COVAN - - - I challenge you to talk to a REMF! We took care of over 73,000 patients in Vietnam, and nearly 10,000 we battle casualties! Are you stating that because we were REMF's we can't experience PTSD, or WHAT? How can you be the way you are? Sometimes we just need to recognize our BROTHERS, and damn the personal feelings! CALL ME....I WILL RESPOND!

COVAN - COVIN - COVEN - Old Soldier, or WHATEVER you call yourself............GET A GRIP!!!!!
You are so wrapped up in yourself, that you forgot your fellow man........AT LEAST....I put my email address!......WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU?
.......too self-absorbed to be honest? WITH YOURSELF? Or, just with anyone that would reply? ......a REMF!!!!!!

Ky U.S.A. - Thursday, December 16, 1999 at 14:29:50 (EST)
The best of the paoers that i have leave me to believe that the E04 36c20 was me in 67-68 .In 65-66 i think i had 2 different mos'es One at Mt. Priline,Dalat and the other in
Quin hon. SORRY about the spelling but most of the time i have trouble thinking let alone spelling. DD-214 lists mos as 36E20 . DD-214 64 pre nam lists mos 321.10 . I think i may owe you a appolige ( i'm sorry ) Its beeen my experence that people who try to stir trouble in the ranks don't realy belong.Grunts
I am sending this message for Mr. Dodd:
In 1967-1968, I was assigned to the 285th transport battalion
attached to the 101 airborne in the province of Qui Nohn.
I have a claim with the VA and they need someone to vouch for
this assignment. This is very important and Mr. Dodd needs
help. he suffers from PSDS amd memory loss because of the war
and needs a contact to someone who served in the unit.
Please contact the web address given.
Any and all US Naval personnel stationed at NSAD Vinh Long prior to Dec. 1968. If you would be interested in having a reunion, please contact me. I am also trying to set up a file of the aforementioned personnel and would like to maintain it for the benefit of same. It would be my intention to send out a list of names and addresses to each person that contacts me so you might be able to hook up with an old buddy. At this time, I have just a few names and addresses.
Oh by the way Brown from Ky which one of the below are you. Just curious because these are the Richard P. Browns who served in Nam.
RICHARD P BROWN Army E00 09B0O
RICHARD P BROWN Army E04 11B2O
RICHARD P BROWN Army E04 36C2O

Seems some people here still dont get it. Hey, KY guy, Go tell it to the Chaplain was just plain ole military sarcasm used from basic training to C&G; staff college it wasnt just a Vietnam joke, contrary to the belief of some everything did not originate in Nam, although shamming and excuses for every major illness seems to have started there. I read all the letters here and the two I think you are referring to are slightly more believable than some of the others, at least most of the words are correctly spelled and easier to peruse. All of these pages are filled with Wannabees so you could as easily be one as the next person. Some people dont like getting flamed so they dont post there info on open forums like this. I for one do not. And by the way I have beaucoup proof of my time there(and its not all that top secret so I dont have to kill you if I told you crap) and not that I would feel the need to prove it to anyone here. I was just plain old army infantry for two years,(not Seal, not SF, not Force Recon, not Ranger LRRP or any of that fashionable thing to be) all out in the real bush to include cambode and laos and am proud of it. I didnt care for REMFs then and still dont. I and by platoon missed to many mail delivery days and hot chow cause the choppers were tied up getting ice and beer to the REMFs. Hell we even missed c-rats on more than one occasion cause the birds were ferrying Donut dollies to the REMFs hideouts for cookies and juice or whatever. You had your war and I had mine. I have beaucoup buds to say hey to every time I visit that black slash known as THE WALL, and I am sure you got some on there also, dont mean we have to like each other though. I tend to hang with people that understand and lived my war, I have that right as you have yours. I am just more particular than most on who I call my brother. My brothers watched my back while I watched theirs, and thats the rub. Don't mean nothing. Never did and never will. Hell for all you know I could be a 90 year old grandma or a 12 year old punk kid. Or I could be a 53 year old slightly overweight, grey-haired former grunt who wakes up every night bone tired from going up the same damn hills over and over again wondering why is that damn bunker full of dinks still there when he knows he dropped two grenades in it last night. Adios and Xin Loi.
Having carefully read two of your letters i find as follows.. 1 You were not in Nam. 2 Your bitterness may stim from this fact or not. 3 I think you were and still a coward. 4 Go tell it to the chaplin. is a viet nam joke that you didn't reconise. ----You cowardness stims from the fact every body uses there real name XX,XX isn't yours........I do not collect one dime from the Goverment. I do get treatment there but i pay for that. Sounds like they turned you down and your only recourse was to attack the ones who got help. I spent 1965-1966-1967-1968 in country so tell me your next hero story.
I'm trying to find information on my father's unit,his name is Ramiro C. Hurtado(E5). He was in Vietnam from 66-69. His unit was 1st. Engineer Battallion, 1st. Marine Division, Stationed at Danang, Red Beach, and Freedom Hill. I've looked everywhere on the internet and with no luck. Currently I'm putting a scrap book together for an X-mas present. I want to include info. and possibly a unit patch or unit insignia. Please contact me with any info. that might help. Thank You, Mike Hurtado

i'm a reporter at the star tribune in mpls. laverne reilly's remains were returned today. if you knew him, pls email asap. or if you know a clay marston or a sascha nash, pls email. thank you.
Anyone who served in the 3/4 cav b trp 1968-1969 that knows what happened 21 feb 1969 in the iron triangle I need to know. I was there.
Very interesting site and comments here. I checked out the DD-214 info and yes if you have a certain number it means you were abducted by aliens and the VA will give you 100%.
Also to the SUPPORT TROOPs who all became Combat PTSD Certified in TET 68, answer this--would you give up your monthly checks to be cured or do you enjoy being Looney-tooney, i think i know the answer!! the money is too good to give up, then you may have to work.
Shows what you know about the WAR when you say you were winning-winning what??? the Mamasan's love with your money spent on her girls and beer. The real line troops know we were never winning-it wasnt intended for us to win. Its always amazing to me that every REMF north of Saigon was at Hue during TET and every Marine was Force RECON and at Khe Sahn besides. If there were so many there why did it take so long to break the Seige.
Do any of you have Hepititis B-C?? I was given a blood transfusion in nam Was Medi-vaced out for having Hepititis but no service connection. any help out there??? contact [email protected] Thaanks
I was wondering if any one who was there has contracted either hepititis B.or C. I was given ablood transfusion doen two stints on Interferon I'm dying and the VA. Has turned down service connection. Does any one out there know where I can turn. Contact

I was recently looking for current info on Cam Ranh Bay. I was stationed there in 1970 with CBMU 302. I saw a website of a vet who had returned to Vietnam and said he so wanted to return to Cam Ranh Bay, but couldn't because it was still off limits to tourists. Does anybody know why. I saw another web site that showed satelite photos of Cam Ranh Bay in 1985-86, when it was a Russian nuclear submarine base.

I find it very interesting that none of these Veterans Sites mention Hepatitis C (HCV). I am a US Army Vietnam Era Vet (74-77)and my husband is a USMC Vietnam Vet (68-69) and we have both been diagnosed with HCV. I am also a HCV Support Group leader in So. Calif. and a patient advocate.
Over 2 million Vets have HCV and most of those are Vietnam Vets. If you were EVER given a blood transfusion, did IV or intranasal drugs, got tattoos, came into contact with anyone elses blood, or were given your innoculations by the Phnumatic Jet Injector you need to be tested for Hepatitis C immediately.
HCV attacks the liver and most people with it are asymptomatic. It leads to cirrhosis and liver failure, as well as liver cancer. The VA does NOT automatically test for it if you go to a clinic. Neither do Primary Care Physicians. You must ask specifically for the Heptatitis C test.
This disease does not have to be a killer. Detection and treatment can save your life.
There are 2 bills in Congressional committees - House Bill HR1020 and Senate Bill SB71. Every Vietnam Veteran needs to write to your Senators and Representatives and ask them to get these bills passed into law. The bills provide that Hepatitis C is a presumtion of infection for Vietnam Vets. This will enable these vets to get much needed disability from the VA.
Please help our brothers and sisters who unknowingly got this disease serving our country.

I'm searching for anyone who knew my brother, Wojciech Wysocki, who served in the Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion/12 Cav., 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cavarly.

He died on the same day when the battalion commander's helicopter was shut down, as described in that book.

hi,
i was wondering something...in my research on warfare i have been hearing stories of the problem of rape during the war. is there any truth to this? anyone with a particular story or would like to find out about this topic as well please let me know by emailing me. thanks.
If i wanted to attack an opposing force that was in control of a hill in a dense forest, how should I go about doing this?
As a two tour (68-69)(70-71) US Army Infantry, out in the real bush humping a 70 lb ruck,being in real combat with a CIB to prove it, i am appalled and ashamed at some of the Wannabee crap I have just read here. Trust me people there were not that many Green Beret, Airborne, Ranger, snake eating guys there, out of 1000 Vets you should find only 3 of these elite troops. And based on the Army ratio of 10 support troops to every one soldier in a real Combat Unit, you do the math. Kiddies if your Dads never told you any blood curdling war stories its maybe because REMF's only got Beer Joint stories to tell. Also I just cant understand why it is that 98% of the PTSD claimers I meet or hear about were REMF support troops and never humped a ruck nor CA'ed into a hot LZ, what for pete's sake are they claiming as stressors, VD shots. We are never going to get our Country's respect as long as these types of crap stories are made out to be the typical VET experience. Burkett you said it all in "Stolen Valor", we are our own worst enemy.

To whom it may concern: I am a senior at High School and as a student I was never taught much on the Vietnam War.Vietnam is a war that has always had my interest for some particular reason.So I have decided to do my Senior project (a requirement in order to graduate) on "the Vietnam war and the affects it had on the men who survived it" specifically on post traumatic stress dissorder. If there are any veterans and (or)anybody who would like to speak to me or give me a piece of their mind on this topic please write me back! Your word will be of great interest to me. Thank you

I don't usually get cranked up over these things, but this is an
exception.
Read the stories below and send this to as many people as you can think
of.
Maybe if it goes around the world, it will have some effect.
Looks like Hanoi Jane may be honored as one of
the "100 Women of the Century". JANE FONDA remember?
Unfortunately many have forgotten and still countless others
have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our
"country" but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane
Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is
one of them. Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who
suffered her attentions. The first part of this is from an F-4E
pilot.
The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the
Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo
Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton".
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed
in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace
Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat
at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp
Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off-which sent that officer
berserk.
In '78, the AF Col still suffered from double vision (which
permanently
ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col's frenzied application
of wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col Larry Carrigan was the 347FW/DO (F-4Es).
He spent 6 years in the "Hilton"-the first three of which he was
"missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a
"peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get
word to the world that they still survived.
Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the
palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she
walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like:
"Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and
"Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent
captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their
sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the
end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked
disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge...and
handed him the little pile.
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col Carrigan was
almost number four. For years after their release, a group of
determined former POWs Including Col Carrigan, tried to bring Ms.
Fonda and others up on charges of treason. I don't know that they
used it, but the charge of "Negligent Homicide due to Depraved
Indifference" would also seem appropriate.
Her obvious "granting of aid and comfort to the enemy", alone,
should've been sufficient for the treason count. However, to date,
Jane Fonda has never been formally charged with anything and continues to
enjoy the privileged life of the
rich and famous. I, personally, think that this is shame on us, the
American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance: most don't
know such actions ever took place. Thought you might appreciate the
knowledge. Most of you've probably already seen this by now... only
addition I might add to these sentiments is to remember the
satisfaction of relieving myself into the urinal at some airbase or another where
"zaps" of Hanoi Jane's face had been applied.
To whom it may concern:
I was a civilian economic development advisor in Viet Nam, and was
captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet Nam in
1968, and held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary
confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a
"black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium
in Ban me Thuot, SouthVietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the
Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs.
(My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist
political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I
said yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs
were receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the
North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with
outstretched arms with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and beaten
with a bamboo cane every time my arms dipped.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours
after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on
TV.
She did not answer me, her former husband, Tom Hayden, answered for
her. She was mind controlled by her husband. This does not
exemplify someone who should be honored as "100 Years of Great Women."
After I was released, I was asked what I thought of Jane Fonda and the
anti-war movement. I said that I held Joan Baez's husband in very
high regard, for he thought the war was wrong, burned his draft card and
went to prison in protest. If the other anti-war protesters took this same
route, it would have brought our judicial system to a halt and ended
the war much earlier, and there wouldn't be as many on that somber black
granite wall called the Vietnam Memorial. This is democracy. This is the
American way.
Jane Fonda, on the other hand, chose to be a traitor, and went to
Hanoi, wore their uniform, propagandized for the communists, and urged
American soldiers to desert. As we were being tortured, and some of
the POWs murdered, she called us liars. After her heroes-the North
Vietnamese communists-took over South Vietnam, they systematically
murdered 80,000 South Vietnamese political prisoners. May their souls
rest on her head forever. Shame! Shame! ( History is a heavy sword
in the hands of those who refuse to forget it. Think of this the next
time you see Ms. Fonda-Turner at a Braves game).
Please take the time to read and forward to as many people as you
possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs
to know that "we will never forget". Lest we forget..."100 years of
great women" Jane Fonda should never be considered.
Looking for anyone who served with Troop B, 7th Armoured Squadron,1st Air Cavalry, Viet Nam. Unit formed at Fort Knox in July 1967 and deployed to Viet Nam in January 1968.

My boyfriend is a Navy Vietnam Veteran, age 51. In the past few years, I have watched as his health deteriotes. He was accepted for Social Security Disablity last year for severe athritus, PTSD, and depression. In the past year, he has experienced mysterious blood losses, which has required 3 blood transfusions. He has never found out the cause, but has had many test ran. Recently he was told he has a liver disorder. Could any of this illness be related to Agent Orange. I have tried to find out diseases caused by this toxin, but when it comes to the liver, it is mentioned briefly. Any ideas on where I might find information? Do any of you have similar health problems which may be connected to the war and Agent Orange. I would love to hear from you. Thanks and may God bless you all!

I would like to ask that people visit the web page at the link below. The phony "Doctor" shown on the page (currently the third person listed) has been practicing law in Houston and surrounding areas for about four years...and since April of 1999 he has been doing it illegally with a revoked license. He appears in court wearing a Navy Cross lapel pin and claims to have been wounded, that he was a Navy SEAL and a combat medic and that he is dying of liver cancer as a result of exposure to Agent Orange. All of these claims are false. He has been made aware of his exposure yet he continues to insist that his military "history" is as he claims when talking to friends/clients/acquaintances. When speaking to anyone who could cause legal action to be brought against him, he claims that he has NEVER misrepresented himself as a veteran. With the approach of Veterans' Day 1999, the long overdue apology from this man becomes more significant. It is hoped that others viewing this web page will step forward and validate the position that he has indeed claimed military status he is not entitled to. If anyone with information of this sort will contact me at the e-mail address shown, it will be forwarded to those who will use it to try to get the "Doctor" to make the public apology he owes to those whose courage he has stolen. Thank You. The URL for the web page is: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Barracks/1299/Wannabes.html

I am a 30 year old male that has never been in the armed forces, voluntary or involuntary. Yesterday at work a co-worker of mine stated that he did not believe in celebrating the 4th of July. After hearing this I became instantly angry. I often think of what people have went through and questioned how horrible it would be to have been in hell-like situations. I guess I am just typing this so that someone can know that I don't feel the same as at least one person that I work with.

My father recently passed away. He was a Vietnam vet and served in the army for 28 years. My dad never talked about the time he spent in Vietnam. I am hoping to hear from anyone who remembers serving with him. Even a fragment would be gold to me right now. His name was William J. Ostertag Jr. I believe he was a Captain at the time, he retired a Col. He was from Cherry Hill New Jersey.
thank you

I posted before, but have further info. My dad, RICHARD L. SHELDON, died last October 2nd (98) and I have been trying to find anyone who might have known him at MONKEY MOUNTAIN. I knew he had been army at the beginning of his career, but I thought this included Nam time. Well, I went back through the records he left, and turns out he was already Air Force, serving in the 620th TCS as a Communications Operations Specialist, 67-68. I sure hope this helps to find someone who may have a few memories to share with me, his daughter, since I miss him so much and knew so little about the time before I was born and what he was like. Thank you all so very much for all you did and put up with to serve our country!!!

America has lost another hero.
Last Saturday, October 16, 1999, Chief Boatswain's Mate James E. Williams, United States Navy, Retired, was laid to rest in the Florence National Cemetery in Florence, SC. He was 68 years old.
Chief Williams was born on June 13, 1930 in Rock Hill, SC. He enlisted in the US Navy in 1946 at age 16 and retired from the US Navy in 1967 after 21 years service, returning to South Carolina where he continued his service to America as US Marshall for the District of South Carolina.
During his career, Chief Williams received many awards for gallantry, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. In fact, Chief Williams earned so many awards that he became known as "US Navy's most decorated enlisted man." In addition to the Congressional Medal of Honor, Chief Williams was also awarded the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit with Combat V, two Navy and Marine Corps Medals, three Bronze Stars with Combat V, three Purple Hearts and two Navy Commendation Medals with Combat V.
The citations of Chief Williams' CMH and Navy Cross can be found at:

<< Subject: Hanoi Jane to be honored?
I don't usually get cranked up over these things, but this is an
exception.
Read the stories below and send this to as many people as you can think of.
Maybe if it goes around the world, it will have some effect. Looks like
Hanoi Jane may be honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century". JANE
FONDA remember? Unfortunately many have forgotten and still countless
others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our
"country" but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane
Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of
them. Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her
attentions. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name
is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF
Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton".
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in
clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace
Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms.
Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he
fell forward upon the camp Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's
shoe off-which sent that officer berserk.
In '78, the AF Col still suffered from double vision (which permanently
ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col's frenzied application of
wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col Larry Carrigan was the 347FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6
years in the "Hilton"-the first three of which he was "missing in action".
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the
cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that
they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN
on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a
cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little
encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are
you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?"
Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of
paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line
and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,
she turned to the officer in charge...and handed him the little pile.
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col Carrigan was
almost number four. For years after their release, a group of
determined former POWs Including Col Carrigan, tried to bring Ms. Fonda and
others up on charges of treason. I don't know that they used it, but the
charge of "Negligent Homicide due to Depraved Indifference" would also seem
appropriate. Her obvious "granting of aid and comfort to the enemy", alone,
should've been sufficient for the treason count. However, to date, Jane
Fonda has never been formally charged with anything and continues to enjoy
the privileged life of the rich and famous. I, personally, think that this
is shame on us, the American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance:
most don't know such actions ever took place. Thought you might appreciate
the knowledge. Most of you've probably already seen this by now... only
addition I might add to these sentiments is to remember the satisfaction of
relieving myself into the urinal at some airbase or another where "zaps" of
Hanoi Jane's face had been applied.
To whom it may concern:
I was a civilian economic development advisor in Viet Nam, and was
captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet Nam in 1968, and
held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year
in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North
Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a
nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, SouthVietnam, whom I buried in the
jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately
90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war
criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist
political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said
yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were
receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the North
Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient." Because of
this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms
with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane
every time my arms dipped.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after
I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She
did not answer me, her former husband, Tom Hayden, answered for her. She
was mind controlled by her husband. This does not exemplify someone who
should be honored as "100 Years of Great Women."
After I was released, I was asked what I thought of Jane Fonda and the
anti-war movement. I said that I held Joan Baez's husband in very high
regard, for he thought the war was wrong, burned his draft card and went to
prison in protest. If the other anti-war protesters took this same route,
it would have brought our judicial system to a halt and ended the war much
earlier, and there wouldn't be as many on that somber black granite wall
called the Vietnam Memorial. This is democracy. This is the American way.
Jane Fonda, on the other hand, chose to be a traitor, and went to Hanoi,
wore their uniform, propagandized for the communists, and urged American
soldiers to desert. As we were being tortured, and some of the POWs
murdered, she called us liars. After her heroes-the North Vietnamese
communists-took over South Vietnam, they systematically murdered 80,000
South Vietnamese political prisoners. May their souls rest on her head
forever. Shame! Shame! ( History is a heavy sword in the hands of those
who refuse to forget it. Think of this the next time you see Ms.
Fonda-Turner at a Braves game).
Please take the time to read and forward to as many people as you possibly
can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that
"we will never forget". Lest we forget..."100 years of great women" Jane
Fonda should never be considered.

My wife was born in Vietnam, Pleiku Province, in Oct. 1972.
Her older sister was born in 1969. Both by the same man.
Their mother worked for the Army as a maid. They are looking for their father, but don't have much to go by. After the communists invaded, all information, pictures, etc. were destroyed for fear of reprisals. Unfortunately, the mother( her name is Le Tu )was arrested anyways and spent a little over 7 years in a communist prison. The three of them moved here in 1986 as sponsored refugees.
The mother is not sure if he is alive or dead.
The mother's memory is not that good and speaks no English.
His name would have been Bill Hall, William Hall something like that. Maybe last name Howe. He would have been stationed in or near the province of Pleiku during the years of 68-72. He was a medical corpman, medical evac, combat medic, or something.
Definitely part of a mobile medical unit on helicopters. The last she remembers of him is that he was injured during
a crash. Did not know if he survived or not. Probably was shipped off to a hospital, maybe. Unfortunately that's all I have to go on. It's a shot in the dark, but maybe I'll get lucky and you are him or maybe know of someone who might be.
He is survived by Le Tu ( mother)
two daughters Thuy (30yrs old.)
and Thu (26 yrs. old) my wife
and two beautiful Grandaughters Jennifer(8)and Kimberly(3)
and a proud son-in law who is currently a member of the Army.

I would like any thoughts about how counselors at the Vet centers can futher help
Veterans, especially those with PTSD, as well as thier families. I have been selected for
a 90 day temp position at the Princeton, WV. Vet center. I will be leading three PTSD
groups, two are comprised of Vietnam Veterans and one is comprised of thier significant
others. I want to do the best I can for them but also realize that as a temp, my mission
will be mostly to keep the group alive and stable during this transition of counselors. I
may be eligible for a full time position in the future as well. My history working with
Vets is as follows: I am an 8 yr Navy Vet, my Wife is a 4 yr Navy Vet, I have worked as a
workstudy at the Vet Center, the Veterans Upward Bound at Bluefield State College, and the
VAMC in Beckly, WV. My Father was in the Navy, and my step Father was in many spec ops in
the military, including the Green Beret. He was in WWII and Korea. He also has the belief
the the SS have been keeping him under a close watch over many years. My step Father had
alot to do with my felling toward Veterans, especially those who have unresolved war
related issues which continue to affect thier lives negatively. I live in a rural area in
WV, and when I first moved here about 7 yrs ago my nieghbor was a Vietnam Vet. I learned
alot from him, both from what he told me and by seeing him go through times in which he
was not himself, I could go on but he has passed away and ut of respect I will not. Also I
think he would not want these things spashed all over the net. He had a big heart, and
that is what should be remembered about him. I guess I've said too much already, please
feel free to contact me with any advice on the subject of Vietnam Vets with PTSD,
especially from you all who know it personally. Thanks alot, Billy LOOKING FOR LOST MEMBERS OF NAVAL AIR SQUADRON VO-67 during 1967-68 in Laos. WE HAVE

B.Dennison Looking for anyone who served in the 37th Sig Bn DaNang during the years 69-70.
Remember Wayne Ackerman from Ill. and and Don Brown from Miss. and Randy Coco from Baton
Rouge Louisanna, and a little guy we called Sgt. Rock from somewhere back east. Would like
to talk to you if you see this. My name is Karen and I have been searching for my fathers family. His name was Frank
Miles and he died in 1974 while he was living in Virgina. I was only 3 years old when he
died and I never knew about him until I was 15 years old. My mother remarried and her new
husband adopted me. She has forgotten almost all info regarding my father. I do know that
he served in Vietnam and he was there in late 1970. I believe that the name of his
squardon was the Jolly Green Giants. He was an airpiolt, which means that he worked on the
planes. He also worked on the Baby Huey's, which I believe were a new
heilcopter. I am
looking for anyone who knew him and might have any info about him. I never knew him and I
would like to honor him by making a web page about him and his service time. Please if you
knew him please email me at [email protected]. I have been searching for his family
for about 5 years now and I haven't gotten very far at all. I would appericate any help in
this matter, no matter how small or trivial it might seem. Thank you all for you time.

he could stay to meet up with other vets going to the wall. His name is Greg Frazier and
he was with the 101st Airborne. He now lives close to St. Louis, so if anyone near there
is going, he could meet up there and fly with them. Thanks for your help. Marice W.B.

The San Diego Zoo is looking for a name for the baby Giant Panda born recently. I
submitted "Gung Ho," and they say they like it but want to hear from the
community before it is submitted to a vote. I think this is a great name for this
marvelous new creature because (1) in Chinese, it means to work together and that is what
we are doing, with the Chinese people in preserving this rare breed; (2) it is a
well-known, catchy phrase, reminiscent of World War II, but still in common usuage; (3)
San Diego is home to about a jillion Marines who would certainly be thrilled and proud if
this name were chosen. Please, anyone, send an e-mail to: [email protected] -
suggesting that the new Panda baby be named Gung Ho. A good response from everyone will
give every serviceman in America a big boost!! Thanks.

will be in the houston area mid to late october to come by and catch a show. We are also
looking for any vets, men and women, to tell us about their experiences, so that we can
become into the play a bit more than we are as of now. If you are interested in talking
about it, coming to see the play, or just helping us with donations of clothes even,

Searching for Irish-born Vietnam Veterans If you served in Vietnam, and were born
anywhere on the island of Ireland (including Northern Ireland), please add your name,
rank, outfit details, date(s) of service, date/location born in Ireland, and any other
details you feel comfortable sharing, to a database which is (very slowly) being compiled.
Irish Women Veterans especially sought as there is absolutely no official record you ever
existed. Information on Irish-born male veterans is very sketchy, but at least we know you
existed as, (to date), I have confirmation that 20 were KIA (serving with both the US and
Australian Forces). Official US figure for Irish-born KIA is 1 (one). Who am I? I was
instigator, and Irish Tour Co-ordinator, of the recent Tour of Ireland (April/May 99), of
the travelling half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to recognise and
honour the Irish-born killed in Vietnam. This tour brought families together for the first
time, as the majority believed for 30 years they were the sole Irish family to have lost a
son in the war. In May, I flew to the US and took part in Run For The Wall, the ride from
LA to DC to highlight POW/MIA issues. Here in Ireland I am in contact with a number of
Irish-born Viet Vets from both the US and Australian military, and I will be in DC
Veterans Day at wreath-laying at The Wall. Sometime in the future, if there is enough
support, we would like to see a proper Memorial in Ireland to recognise and honour all who
served, and all who fell in Vietnam. Any information on 8 detailed below, which may be
e-mailed ([email protected]), snailed (Declan P. Hughes, Top Floor, Capel Chambers, 119
Capel Street, Dublin 1, Republic of Ireland), or faxed (Dublin, Ireland 87 22 371) greatly
appreciated. Thank you. Declan. Sgt Patrick ‘Christy’ Nevin, 1st Cav

Hello. My name is Chrissy Ludlum and I am involved in the theatre arts department at
my school. Recently, the women in the department have been put to the task of putting on a
riveting drama entitled "A Piece of My Heart", which is about 6 women's
real-life accounts of their service in Vietnam. Through the course of the show, they
realize how precious life and death are. At the end of the show, they meet at The Wall to
recount their memories, many of which haunt them and forever change their lives. My fellow
cast and I are trying to dig deeper into our characters thoughts and feelings but we are

UNITED VETERANS FOR THE RESTORATION OF MILITARY FACILITIES c/o 106 Milton Street
Brooklyn, NY 11222 Contact: Steve Adams Co-Chair Telephone: 718-349-3477 emai:
[email protected] United Veterans For The Restoration of Military Facilities is an
organization of veterans, veteran organizations and non-veterans who are working to
preserve as National Landmarks and restore the former "Officers Quarters" at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The former officers quarters consist of ten (10) houses built between
1864 - 1900 which housed Naval Officers assigned to the yard until it was decommissioned
in 1965. Our proposal consists of restoring these houses and reusing them in several ways
including military museums, a veterans benefit/vocational center, a visitors center,
meeting facilities for various veteran and community organizations, etc. We would also
like to restore and rehabilitate the "parade" grounds for use by veterans for
memorial and veterans day celebrations. We also propose the creation of a "Green
way" (Park) to encompass the area surrounding the houses as well as a memorial
garden. Today, these houses are in a serious state of disrepair, due in large part to the
many years of neglect on the part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who are currently
responsible for their care and maintenance. None the less, we believe that through a
partnership with City, State, Federal and Private funding, these houses can be restored,
reused and returned to their rightful owners, the veterans of the United States Armed
Forces and to the community. As such, we are asking you to support these efforts to
restore and rehabilitate these historic houses by participating and attending our
September 4, 1999 Parade and Flag Raising Ceremony. The parade will commence in front of
Brooklyn Borough Hall at 10:00 a.m. and follow a pre-arranged route. The parade will
conclude at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (Flushing Avenue & Navy Street) where we will have
a Flag Raising ceremony. Very truly yours, Steve Adams Co-Chair

I am writing this in respect to my Uncle's military service in Vietnam. During his
service with the United States Armed Forces, he encountered and worked with a group of
Vietnamese known as Montagnard, or "Mountain Guards." He has recently learned
that a significant number of them have traveled to the United States and formed a
settlement somewhere in Virginia. He is extremely interested in their whereabouts and
their life here in the United States. If you have access to any such information, I would
greatly appreciate any you could pass on to me in respect to the Montagnard, and there
whereabouts in Virginia or anywhere else they may be located in the United States. Thank

I am a one woman production company, currently looking to interview female Veterans
from Vietnam for a Documentary entitled "The Girls Next Door; The Women Who Served
Vietnam." I know that this is a very sensitive subject to discuss with a stranger.
However, my soul purpose for engaging with this project is not self serving. I simply want
to bring a passionate attention to a group of women whose contributions, I believe, have
been under minded and overlooked. I truly want to chronicle the strength and personal
integrity of female Veterans from Vietnam. My mom is a Veteran from Pleiku 68'- 69' and
she has inspired and encouraged me to see this Documentary fruition. Any information that
anyone is willing to share will be respected and appreciated. I hope someone out there can
help me.

with the "5th Special Forces." They may have been called the, "Goon
Squad". He served 1967-1970. Please contact me if you have any information. He is not
emotionally able to do this for himself and it would mean the world to him to be able to
touch his past. Thank you... His friend, Kathy

I have information and pictures about what should be one of the first if not the
first, memorial dedicated to Vietnam Veterans. Dedicated on Memorial Day 1968. It has had
a very interesting history (including getting black paint thrown on it twice in 1970.) The
story about its builders and caretakers is also very interesting. If you want to read
about it Email me. It's about time this memorial got recognized with its builders.

Looking for a Ronald F. Sherry,originally from Detroit,Mi.,we were pen pals in
1967-1968,however all of my letters were destroyed in a fire..and the best my search has
done is that he is not on the wall or listed as M.I.A....however, I believe that the last
letter from him was before Christmas 1967...and he never wrote after that, I knew he was
going out on the front lines...my concern and prayers for him have never ceased...His
family only consisted of his mom, who I believe was named Grace, and she lived in Detroit.
It's possible he was in Da Nang, but I can't remember if he was Army or Marine. I have
called around the Detroit area thru the years but to no avail...Hoping someone see's this
that may have known or served with him................God Bless, Deb

June 9, 1999 Kenneth J. Clark Department of Veterans Affairs Health Eligibility
Center 1644 Tullie Circle N.E. Atlanta, GA 30329-2303 RE: Letter dated May 23,1999
(742/002) Dear Mr. Clark, A very unbelievable letter, Mr. Clark. The first sentence
welcomes my enrollment in the VA health care system, Priority Group 7. However, one
paragraph later you inform me to retain any health insurance I might have because you
don�t know if Priority Group 7 will be funded during the next fiscal year (Oct. 1, 1999 -
Sept. 30, 2000). Although you are only the �messenger,� I find the timing (a week before
Memorial Day observances) and content of your form letter contemptuous and disrespectful.
Certainly, we both know the reason for increased needs for VA services are because of the
flagrant and voluminous cutbacks in health care benefits and their increased costs to the
workforces throughout the U.S. I don�t have a health insurance plan to maintain. Like
many other veterans, this is the reason I enrolled in the VA health care system. Health
care benefits and other VA benefits were promoted and promised to veterans when I was in
the Army. I can remember the hundreds of times I was reminded by officers and
non-commissioned officers about the numerous benefits we were �guaranteed for life for
serving our country.� Proposals to eliminate funding for this Priority Group makes liars
out of generals, colonels, captains, etc. who made those promises to us during our
enlistment. They were (are) official military liaisons of the government. There are some
serious ethical problems here. Significant numbers of people have fulfilled obligations of
�serving the country.� For me, it was being drafted into the Army for two years.
Obviously, since the elimination of the draft, millions of people no longer are required
to fulfill this former government mandate. Therefore, I assume they do not receive VA
benefits. Yet, I, along with other veterans in Priority Group 7 who did �serve our
country� are now being considered for elimination due to �non-funding.� Yes, this is a
grave ethical problem for a country that considers itself a nation of integrity and
fairness for all; especially with its obligations and promises to its veterans. After
eliminating funding for Priority Group 7, what Priority Group is next on the hit list?
What will be the broken promises twenty or thirty years from now for benefits to troops
now involved in the war in Yugoslavia? Congress recently added $8 billion dollars to an
original Pentagon request of $8 billion dollars for the war against Yugoslavia. Why
didn�t they use this �extra� money (our tax dollars) for funding veterans in Priority
Group 7? It�s appalling that members of Congress can be anxious to over-finance war
spending; while at the same time propose eliminating the funding of health benefits for
veterans. Adding more insult to injury, today�s newspaper (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel;
6-9-99) reported the U.S. Senate has backed a �plan to lease business jets for Pentagon
brass.� This preposterous waste of tax dollars will cost $500 million dollars for 10
years. In addition, the newspaper reports the Pentagon spending bill for the fiscal year
that begins October 1, 1999, (the same fiscal year of the proposal to not fund health care
for Priority Group 7) is �$1.4 billion higher than the budget submitted by President
Clinton.� These extravagant displays of abundant spending at the expense of health
benefits for veterans adds to the serious ethical problems of a country�s civility, trust
and honor to its commitments to veterans. If you have input determining Priority Group
7�s funding for the following fiscal year - as explained in your letter - I urge your
recommendation to continue and improve this Group�s health benefits, along with the
health benefits of all the other Priority Groups in our VA health benefit plans. We served
our country. This anti-veteran proposal should not even be a topic for VA consideration.
Sincerely, Daniel Pryzbyla Enc: Clark letter, 5/23/99 cc: Sen. Kohl Sen. Feingold Rep.

My dad was on Monkey Mountain, and I have a slide of his that said it was looking
across some water over at Da Nang (sp). He was in communications, and I have several pics
and slides from Monkey Mountain, to include the theater they built themselves. I don't
know much else except he was Army, and it was 66-67. I was 1 and 2 years old when he was
there, and he told me a story about how after he returned, I put a pail over his face when
he was sleeping on the couch, and he'd been dreaming that a Cong was putting a knife to
his throat. I guess he smacked me across the room right about then, and woke up. He said I
wasn't hurt, but my pride sure was! The only other story he would tell that I remember was
of being on the mountain, and the day after they relocated, it was blasted away. I am
basically looking for anyone else willing to share stories from there, if anyone is still
out there who knew my dad, Richard L. Sheldon. He wouldn't talk about it much, but he did
say last year that he believed in aliens and didn't believe in God, and that Vietnam was
why. That was several months before the end of his third marriage, and his suicide in
Vegas on 2 October 1999, my brother's birthday. I would like to get some insight as to
what his mind was all about, and if anyone could tell me anything about that time period,
it would be so kind. He had just been diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes and had an
angioplasty a few years ago, but any other ailments were unknown to me, so I don't think
he had any "military related" diseases, but I do think his mind was never quite,
shall we say, at rest. Also, just a bit of trivia, he switched to AF soon after Vietnam,
and retired with over 20 years of service, in a command post position. Thank you.

Would love to hear from anyone who thinks they may have been one of my "pen

USMC as a PHOTO IMAGING INTELLEGENCE SERGENT (Marble Mountain) 1968-69. I'm sure his
service was longer but what unit I'm not sure of. The main point of this memo is to inform
any of those that knew of or served with my brother is that he passed away on May 10, 1999
of an Agent Orange related cancer of the soft pallet. I can tell all of you that he was
and always will be a true Marine. Several of you contacted my brother prior to his passing
and I wish to thank all of you. Please feel free to contact me with any information you
may have about my brother. He was 18 years older than me and I didn't have the opportunity
to know my brother as I should have. I loved him none the less. God Bless all of you!!!

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. For several years I have been wearing a
POW-MIA bracelet bearing the name of ATC Roland R. Pineau, presumably killed in a E1B
crash while serving with the USS Oriskany, 10-8-67. This past week I officially
"adopted" him through Operation Just Cause and am in the process of creating a
tribute page to him on my personal homepage. I've been in contact with a couple of men
from the Oriskany, who did not know Roland, but sent me copies of his squadron's group
photo from the '67 cruise book and with his sister, who gave me a couple of home photos
and shared her memories of him with me. I'm now trying to find someone who knew him from
his 21 years in the Navy, especially from his time in Nam. I want to get to know the man
he was. I want him to be more than just a name to me and to those who view my homepage.
Any assistance anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps you may already be aware of a new promotional material currently in use by
the White Castle hamburger chain. If not, I'll take a minute to describe it. An
extra-large plastic drinking cup is painted like a comic book with a story of "True
White Castle Crave Tales". The text is as follows: "June 1970. When I graduated
from high school, they told me I would be going places. I had no idea it would be deep in
the jungles of 'Nam. While there, I was lucky to get a hearty ration of White Castle
hamburgers from my loved ones back home. I took them on missions deep in the bush, and
shared them with the other guys in my platoon. Little did we know it, but the delicious
smell caught the attention of two enemy soldiers. They were armed with AK-47s, while all
we had were a dozen burgers. We offered to share our lunch with them and for a few moments
the war came to an end. To this day, the smell of a White Castle burger makes me happy to
be alive." The artists are listed as Gordon Montana and S. Jordan, UT. It's
copyrighted 1999 by White Castle System Inc. My wife and I about fell over when we finally
looked at what was on this cup. It seems surreal. I thought someone active in a Vietnam
Veterans group would be interested in such a design. To contact White Castle on the web go
to: http://www.whitecastle.com/contact.html Thanks for your time. Sincerely, SW

what took place that evening. If anyone has any insite... I would appreciate an

information about his death and what truly happened. We only know that he was on a search

twelve hours after that, and was awarded a bronze and silver star. If you have any

areas that the United States still claims servicemen were never sent. He was treated
with radiation therapy in his throat in Spain in 1985 when he was diagnosed with throat
Cancer. Because of this treatment, he was able to live until June of 1997. His quality of
life was miserable & I watched a Green B with an incredible build at 240lbs dwindle to
98lbs before he died. He told me countless stories of his tour in Vietnam, & I
specifically asked him about Agent Orange. He stated that the chemical was dropped
directly over his team on several occasions since they were on classified missions. He
still felt that he had a duty to protect his government & refused to ever pursue any
inquiry to any other members of his troop who might also be ill or to report this illness
to any federal agency. He often worked communications in Vietnam & took pictures &
several reels of film of his division in Cambodia & Vietnam. He also gave me several
boxes of photos. I do not know what to do with any of this, but feel that I have an
obligation to the millions of men who served our nation to turn these over for review. Can
you please direct me to the best place to do this. I do not want to disclose anything that
I should not, but I have not viewed these films & quite frankly have been afraid to
because of the possible horrors contained therein. My father claimed that this was a
chronology of his tour & the team that he worked alongside. Thank you for your help.

THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD FOUNDERS ASSOCIATION, INC. 187 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, New
York 11201 Tel: (718) 625-1533 President Mr. Ed Carter Vice-President Louis Castro
Treasurer Nathan Cooper Secretary Alex Nojovitz Contact Person: Steve Adams Telephone
Number: (718) 349-3477 Bernadette Castro New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation The Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Agency
Building 1 Albany, New York 12238 Re: Brooklyn Navy Yard - Officers Quarters Buildings A -
L Dear Ms. Castro: The Brooklyn Navy Yard Founders Association was founded by myself and
several other veterans as a means to preserve the rich history and historical significance
of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I have been asked by several local Veterans Organizations to
contact various Veterans Organizations throughout Brooklyn, as well as their national
headquarters regarding a seven and one half (7.5) acre parcel of land at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard known as the "Officers Residences". These buildings were erected between
1864 and 1901. From the time that they were built until the closure of the Brooklyn Navy,
these buildings housed many of the ‘Yards' officers and their families. In addition
to housing quarters, there was also tennis courts and a parade ground. Today, each
building is designated as a State and Federal Landmark. Although they are currently
landmarks, they are in a dilapidated condition due to many years of neglect, lack of
funding and a general disinterest on the part of the B.N.Y.D.C. These buildings are now
under the control of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (B.N.Y.D.C.) In 1995
the New York City Economic Development Corporation with the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development
Corporation commissioned Ms. Roberta Washington, a New York City Architect to conduct a
Preliminary Case Report regarding these buildings identified as buildings A-L. This report
upon completion was then submitted to the NYS office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation for consideration. The purported purpose of this report was to identify
potential future uses for these buildings, if any. Included in this report was a cost
analysis estimating the cost of rehabilitating these buildings. The report estimates that
it would cost approximately 15 - 20 million dollars to rehabilitate all ten buildings. As
you may know, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was established in 1801 by order of the federal
government. It was the site for the construction of Robert Fulton's steam frigate, the
Fulton launched in 1815 as well as other historic vessels. In addition, the Navy Yard was
also the location of the US Naval Lyceum, organized in 1933, which maintained a reading
room, library, and museum. During World Wars I and II, the Yard was a disembarking area
for troops going over seas. During the 1970's and 1980's part of the Yard for used for
recruiting young men in various branches of the Armed Forces. Today, the Yard is operated
by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation housing many small and medium sized
manufacturing and commercial businesses. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation
has been very vague regarding its intentions for these former "Officers
Quarters" and rumors abound. One disturbing rumor is that they would like to have
these National and State Historic Landmarks removed from the registry and subsequently
demolished, using the "then" vacant land to build a "Super-store"
possibly a large Supermarket or other large Box type Super-store. Although current law
requires a public review of any recommendations regarding these landmarks, there are no
guarantees. In fact, in the last year or two, Congressional Legislation authorized the
conveyance of the Yard and these buildings from the U.S. Department of the Army to the
City of New York. To date, the City nor the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation has
fully taken over this facility. However, time is short. The purpose of this letter is to
request the assistance of Federal, State and City agencies as well as the American Legion
and other Veteran's Organizations throughout New York City and in particular from Brooklyn
to convince the Department of the Army and the United States Congress to reconsider
conveying these landmarks to the City of New York and to assist local veteran
organizations to develop alternative plans for rehabilitating and use of these very
Historically significant buildings. Several proposals already looked at include: 1.
Turning one building each into a military musuem for each branch of the Armed Forces; 2. A
Civil War Musuem; 3. Youth Education and Cultural Center; 4. Veteran's Administration
medical clinic; 5. Housing facilities for visiting military personnel and dignitaries; 6.
Meeting facilities for various Veteran's Organizations and local organizations; 7. Park
and Garden. As you can see, there are many possibilities for the use of these building
that will preserve their historic significance and should be preserved and rehabilitated.
I look forward to your prompt response to my inquiry. Very truly yours, Mr. Ed Carter

I am the daughter of Joe Foy. My Dad served in Vietnam in Aug 1966-Aug 1967 (during
his first tour). He told me an interesting story. When he first got to Nam there was a
battle on Aug 25, 1966. The general didn't like all the soldiers wearing different color
scarves around their necks so he had each soldier put on black scarves. The battle was
awful with only 6 men returning out of 108. Practically the whole battalion had to be
replaced. After that battle the battalion was renamed (or known as) the "Black
Scarf" Battalion, the only one in Vietnam. My father is interested in finding a man
named Anderson that came in the group of 100 soldiers sent in to replace the depleted
battalion. Anderson was a member of Charlie "C" Company, 1st Battelion, 2nd
Brigade, 1st Division, known as C Company 1/2 1st Division. Anderson's MOS was Mess Cook
when he arrived in Aug 1966, he was promoted to Mess Sargent by 1967. At the time he lived
in Chicago, his parents lived at and ran an Innlocated on a golf course near Chicago.
Anderson is a college graduate. My Dad would like to contact Anderson. I told him anything
is possible through the Internet. Any help would be appreciated. E-mail me, Betsy, at:
[email protected]. Thanks.

Urgent!! Immediate reply needed!! Searching for any Vietnam Veteran who has
developed blood clotting in the veins that has no other family history of clotting in the
veins. Must be in the veins! This has been diagnosed as Factor V mutation of the blood
protein. I am searching in order to prove my brother-in-law is not the only Vietnam
Veteran who has had a stroke caused by Factor V. We need your help to support our claim
that Agent Orange has caused this rare and unusual clotting. Factor V mutation has only
been given a name in the last few years. Please share your experiences with a reply to
[email protected] as soon as possible. Since posting this elsewhere, I have received

never forget. One of my dearest friends, who has also passed on was a Vietnam Vet, not
only one tour but two. This country has no idea the debt we owe all our vets! I was very
proud to say that my friend served in Nam. There are people who care and I am one of them!

To all veterans and friends of veterans: There has not been a major veterans and
friends of veterans rally in Washington DC for veterans rights since after WWI. when they
were forcefully ejected by Major Douglas MacArthur and his troops. They were protesting
the 1891 legislation which prohibits a veteran with 20 years of service from drawing
retirement pay. This law has been on the books for 108 years. House resolution 303 would
change this. What about a massive rally in DC on Memorial Day 1999? I beleive this is the
only way this mean-spirited Congress will ever get the message. Let me know how you feel
about this.

I have been very interested in the Vietnam War since I was only 14, I am now 41. It
was a war I knew was wrong even at that young age. I had a person very close to me leave
Canada and join the fight over there. Ten years ago he killed a man thinking he was back
in the middle of a fire fight. I have spent many years hurting over the treatment of the
young men who fought this war and are still fighting it today. I want to wish you all
inner peace and hope you can find some strength in the fact that there are people like me
who still all these years later, think about you and cared what happened.

I am 22 years old. In History class at the local junior college my teacher started
talking about the Vietnam War. He dismissed it as a huge mistake and stated that he was in
Europe for three months during the war and when he came back he would have never gone if
drafted. It made me sick. I know Vietnam Veterans, one of them a close friend of the
family who is in charge of the local VFW. What he did was go over incidence where women
and children and unarmed men were killed. While this is part of war he did not do the same
for any other war. The class was quiet. I asked him how many American men were killed. He
replied he was not sure. I told him he should have RESPECT for the men who gave their
lives so people like him could have their opinion during the war. He said he did not have
respect but felt sorry. It made me sick and he said this is my opinion. The reason I
posted this is to tell any Veteran of any war how PROUD I am, and how PROUD the United
States should be that people gave their lives for out flag. My opinion of this teacher is
that he just wants to hear himself talk. Thank You for reading this.I hope other young
people feel the same.
