Comments: I am proud to have served with the Triple Deuce. I have created this web site with the materials provided by members and hope it will serve as a place of reunion, information sharing and history telling. (HHC/2/22 Mz). Please leave your history or comment.
Comments: Mario, I added a link from www.c322association.org to Vietnam Triple Deuce and it connects fine. By the way, nice site! Chuck Boyle
Comments: i must say that this web site is a honor for me and all that severed with the 2/22/25th Inf.Div.,
Comments: Mario: Good job. Sorry I'm so late to enter my kudos, but as you know I've had some computer problems.
Comments: WELCOME HOME VETS. I was a Mechanic for Co. A, 46th Engr. Bn. at Long Binh Apr 69-Apr 70. You guys have a swell site and I wish to thank Mario also. I'm so glad that our Vets are willing to put sites on the internet for others to see. This will teach history better than any book ever written. I don't think Uncle Sam can stop the truth.
Comments: Wow! This is great! Our own web site to tell our story. The Vietnam Triple Deuce story. A big fat Tango Yankee to Mario for starting a home for us. Lynn Dalpez C/2/22 65 -67 Charlie Walker Boat Original.
Comments: WELCOME HOME!I came out my shell in March 2001. I have found over 120 of my alpha brothers with help from other guys.17 Alpha originals & 67 replacements met in St. Louis in may 2002 for the first time in 35 years. There were a few sad moments but I mostly laughed for 4 straight days. I and the others had a great time and are looking forward to meeting many more guys of the TRIPLE DEUCE in San Antonio in oct,2003. If you are sitting on the fence about rehashing your Vietnam Ghosts,they will never leave you. But by meeting your old buddies, some of the pain gets lifted and the healing starts. About 20 of your combat brothers had died since Vietnam. Do not deny yourself the chance of seeing the remaining combat brothers. In St. Louis,were Bruce Blakeslee,Dwight Brennenman,Joe Fraiser,Kenny Gengler,Louie Gross,Gary Hartt, Terry Humpert,Larry hansen, Jeff Snellenberger,Richard Liens, Tom Murray,Mike Rupolo,Ray Zacherella,Gary Whitney, Bill Zarchary,Richard Wylie,Danny Ryan & Ival lawhon.Most of above have already committed to attend San Antonio. In addition,Ed Davis is going. Also Gary Waddington,Dennis Alexander,Ron Phelan Eugene Tyres, Tim Kirby,Roger Cote,Dennis Delmonte,Capt Both, and others whose names I cannot recall as I am having a SENIOR MOMENT. I am now the offical locater for Alpha Co.If you served with Alpha co.in Ft. lewis or Vietnam, please give me a call at 503-632-6955. I have rosters for most years of Alpha Co. and can help you locate your buddies. Hope to see you in SAN ANTONIO!!!
Comments: MARIO, THANKS EVER SO MUCH FOR TAKING ON THE WEBSITE TASK. IT LOOKS BETTER AND BETTER AS YOU ADD CONTENT AND FEATURES.
Comments: Hartt, don't get too long winded. You originals just got them P.Oed. for us Sept. Replacements. Thanks a "H" of a lot!!! Sgt. Magnet
Comments: Doc, don't want to know about your computer problems. You know what is required, get the job done, then you can come and tell me how hard it was. Your Loving Sgt. From Hell, Magnet
MAGNET, YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT ME AND BILL METZ WERE UNCALLED FOR. I am highly"insulated", but i guess i can not expect much from a replacement and a chicken charlie living in the land of "fruits and nuts".In San Antonio, I will have Lynn Dalpez reem your replacement ___.A fellow boat guy will teach you respect for your forefathers of combat.Is this message the proper length? See JIM May no cussing.
Comments: Oh hell (Excuse me Jim I mean Oh heck!) Gary Hartt, myself, and the other Alpha originals, had that war won until people like "Sgt. from hell" came along, and didn't know how to keep out of the way of flying metal. That's why they call him "magnet." (BIG, BIG, SMILE) To all you replacements: This is just a joke between Norm and me. I know you repos did a hell of a job

Comments: Norm aka. Magnet aka. Sgt. from hell: I did get the job done. That's why I'm back on line. Now get back to work on the News Letter, and stop blaming all the ommissions, and mistakes, on your wife. (That woman must be a Saint!)
Comments: Bill & Gary, First of all Gary, learn how to spell Matz. Show a little more respect for Doc. No wonder I refer to A/2-22 as Awful Alpha. Bill, 'you done good'. I am working on the next newsletter and attempting to figure out how I am going to fit your 6 pages into it. You and Gary are just as long winded as that B/2-22 Officer. However, keep up the good work. Magnet
Comments: Merry Christmas to all of our Veterians. Thirty Seven years ago today 12-21 I left home for my induction into the United States Army. It was hard just Four days before Christmas, but I was not alone. Little did I know that I was going to meet people that were going to become as close to be as my own family. From Ft.Lewis to Vietnam I was in the company of some of America's best. The best part we did not realize it at the time,only the reflection of time did we come to realize this. Thanks to the men of the Triple Deuce.
Comments: Magnet: Six pages? What happened to the other 15?
Comments: Magnet: Six pages? What happened to the other 15?
Comments: Merry Christmas and a propersous New Years to all my Triple Deuce Bothers.Just remember guys, every year since Vietnam is just another Bonus.
Comments: Mario: I was very flattered to see a couple of my stories in the "What we remember section." Thanks. I also enjoyed your story about your trips to Saigon. I figured out a similar scam when I was at Dau Tieng. As a medic I knew we didn't have an eye Doctor at our base. If you complained about your eyes they had to send you to CuChi. I complained about my eyes and was duly sent to CuChi to get them checked. My complaint was the suns glare blinded me, and made my eyes water. The eye Doctor told me to wear sun glasses and sent me on my way. Jeez, not even an overnight? At the airfield they had guys signing a manifest for the flight back to Dau Tieng. I asked what would happen if they had more people than seats. The Flight Sgt. said the others would have to wait until the next day. AHA! I moved to the rear of the line, and didn't get a seat. I spent about a week at CuChi frequenting the EM clubs. I stood at the rear of the line, and signed the flight manifest everyday, just to stay legal. I ran into one guy in the casual barracks who had been there for weeks! I had thought he was dead. He was still there when I left. One day they put everyone in the casual barracks on a nasty detail. I had learned at Fort Polk about using my real name for these things. I always had a fatigue shirt (Just for this sort of thing) with no name tag. I signed in as Ford, Glenn Sp/4. As soon as the NCO turned his back, I took off for the airfield and made sure I caught the plane. They gave me some static, and threats of court marshall, when I got back to Dau Tieng; But I just said "Hey! I tried. I can requisition the flight manifests as evidence if I have too. No further static over that, but I never was very popular around base camp. Wish I had been smart enough to figure out a scam to get me to Saigon.
Comments: Bill like your story wasent the Army good. It shur got better in Nam I even learned a new job in the Army but was put out of worke buy flush toilets. Life is fun now we are old and still think about all the good times and the good friends we have but we have to remember the ones we lost. It is nice to be with best people a Nam Vet. GOD BLESS
Comments: Nick: I think you and I had the same MOS in base camp (Sanitation/Shit/Burning) That's why I hated base camp.
Comments: Oh, I remember well the "shit burning detal". I was assigned to do it the first time on my 21st birthday. Maybe that is why I was traumatized in Vietnam. My 21st birthday party involved the detail! Ha! Ha! Tomorrow marks the 35th anniversary of the battle at FSB Burt. It seems like only yesterday! May God Bless you all!
Comments: Clarence Simpson wrote NYC dj "cousin Bruce Morrow" who taped his radio show and sent it to CJ In Vietnam. Everytime we came in from an operation CJ would play that 8 reel tape over and over. Years later, I think of that tape and the "new" songs we had not heard of. ThAT radio show tape made me homesick, but it was also nice to have a touch of home. i remember "winchester cathederal" and never liked the song. AT the moment, cannot remember other songs but most I liked and hearing Bruce Morrow"s rich voice, made me forget the reality of NAM for a short time and remember the fun of chasing girls and occasionally scoring. It made me think back to my youth and the drunker I got, the the girl in the corner kept looking better. The bar is closing, it is 2 AM and I buy 6-pack and take that dog(girl) to Westmeadow Beach for some TCB. INCOMING!,INCOMING!!! OH SH--, This is not WESTMEADOW BEACH, it is Dau Tieng and that last round was too close. i jump in the trench, next to the tent. it is 6 ft deep and full of water but it is better to be wet than have metal accessories on my body. Oh the rounds have stopped, i guess i should put some dry clothes on. Hey where did i leave that bottle? Dam the gooks. Cousin Bruce Morrow just said the Long Island Expressway is bumper to bumper.Winchester cathederal is now playing. Oh it is not a dream, I am in NAM

Comments: Gary: Was that the eight track in TY-ONE-ON? I recall several guys had tapes sent from their home towns. Local DJs were pretty good about sending actual tapes of shows, or making special recording tapes (Which didn't have commercials, which I actually missed; but the patter was a little raunchier) for the troops in 'Nam. I had two for years. Both from Chicago, of course. One from WLS, and one from WCFL which had just gone Rock at that time.
Comments: I don't mean to intrude on your website, but I ran across it and wanted to say that you guys really did a lot of good in Nam. I was with the 3/8 4th. infantry division, mortar platoon. We rode with some of the PCs while there on missions. We were there in 66 and 67. Went over on the boat, etc. with the division. Keep up the good work on your site. Welcome Home Brothers!!!!!
Comments: Daymon, No intrusion at all. Thanks for visiting our new web site. Did you go over on the Walker with the 3rd Bgde of the 4th Inf. Div.? I did. What a tub! Thanks for your comments Brother.
Comments: Lynn & Damon: Do you suppose the rumor (started by me) is true; that the Germans refused to waste torpedos on the Walker, during WWII, because they figured she'd go down on her own eventually?
Comments: Bill, Naw, they probably were laughing so hard that they simply forgot to fire. Lynn
Comments: Hello to all, It is a pleasure to be a part of such a proud unit, The Triple Duce in Vietnam I just wanted to take the time to express my gratitude to one of our members. I for too many years carried the guilt of WHY ME (PTSD). I was at a loss! I having my second heart attack and not being allowed to go back to work. After 26 years of driving and delivering new cars to dealerships all over the USA. I did not know what I could do. To make a long story short I had reached the end of my time as I saw it and my future was short. Then came my contact with Magnet. Norman came to my aid, he saw that I needed the help of a professional and after many emails and telephone conversations I went to the VA. I was on the right path, receiving the help that I needed for so many years. Norman even went to the extreme of dredging up the memories of Fire Support Base Burk, and sending a notarized letter to the VA in my behalf. As a result of Norman’s actions I now have a bright outlook on life. I am 100 % service connected. As anyone that knows Norman to this date will not take credit of looking out for his men he still thinks it is a normal thing to do. Well I am here to let all our members know that I for one will never forget him or what he did for me in nam and after. To me Norman you are and always will be my Hero My Sergeant and my Friend and Brother. Thank God for you and bless you and yours. Michael G Wager Hq & C Co 2/22/25 67-68 PS. Bent Bumper I will let Norman explain this
Comments: Mike: Norm is alright, but he's still the "Sgt. from Hell."
Comments: Mario verry nice site. Proud to part of 2/22 Delta Co. Please contact me. See you all in Texas in Oct.
Comments: Hello Triple Deucer,s looks like this is going to be a nice site. HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY TO EVERYONE. Watch the green beer. Clark B Co. 2/22 67-68
Comments: As a Vietnam Vet and now having a son in harms way I ask for your prayers for all our troops, and our President. I for one will not be watching any Hollywood pat me on the back, look at me I am a celebrity award show. Nor will I be listening to any Dixie Chick songs. God Bless the USA
Comments: Its been 35 years since my father was KIA. All these years I have thought alot about him. I spent 20 years in Alaska not wanting to know what really happened. I visited my uncle last week after not seeing him for 30 years. He went to his room and wanted me to read some letters my father sent him from Dau Tieng. It brought up alot of emotions I had suppressed for a very long time. So I decided to find out what the hell happened. I never thought he wouldnt make it. He had alot of combat time in WW2, and Korea. He was 1st sargent O.L. Midkiff Co A 2/22M. Any of you triple duces that knew him please drop me a line. You guys are the BEST.
Comments: I was the catholic chaplain from 4/67 to 4/68 at Dau Tieng. Assigned to HHC. Col Norris made me an honorary member of 2/22 and I was always welcomed at the triple deuce. Before active duty, I was in the 50th armored Div from New Jersey (National Guard). Loved the machines and that is why the 2/22 was always different to visit. Men were all mavericks, smelled of diesel, and great to be with. Still meet with some of the names that have appeared above this note. See all of you who make it to San Antonio this year. Great site.
Comments: WELCOME HOME FATHER TOBIN. I have a picture of you serving us Mass in the field. Those masses and too many memorial services you conducted in the field provided some relief from the hardships we endured. I have a wife and 3 kids all baptized Catholic but now I am a Methodist. Go figure!! Anyway just want to thank you for being there for us GRUNTS so long ago. GOD BLESS YOU
hi guy, this is Dennis, 1969 Delta 2/22, i need someone who wants to share a room at the reunion, time is running out so get back to me asap, thanks
Comments: Hi guys! Great Web Site! I served in the triple deuce with Charlie Company. I arrived in Sept 67 and left in Sept 68. I spent my time with the 3rd Platoon and then supply, and then back to 3rd platoon for the last month. I started on the ground, and when a drivers slot opened up, talked my way into it. I managed to then spend the next 6 months driving, and when a slot opened up in supply, I took it for 3 months. Then I spent the last month back in the field driving a track. Reunions have been great for me. I went to my first one in St. Francisville, LA, then Gettysburg, then Dallas, then Cleveland, then St. Louis, and now San Antonio. I recommend them for any Vietnam Vet. After one, I cannot imagine not making them a high priority every 18 months. I just feel so good about my time served and the men I served with. It was important in my life and still is. See you in San Antonio
Comments: It is sad but my duty to let all the deucers know that Dwight "DOC" Jessup who served with the 3/22 in 1971 has given up the Ghost. May God bless and keep him. Doc, obviously was a medic in the field earning a CMB doing what he liked best, helping others. Doc and I met just after my return from Country in Nov 1970. I had just come home and Doc was just leaving. He was a good person and fought hard to stick around but in the end knew he was about to take place in his finaL ROLL CALL! I will truly miss him till my time comes! "See ya Doc Jessup, at The Wall!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Added date to the form. Should have done this long ago. Well... win some, loose some.
Comments: GREAT JOB TO ALL THAT HAD PART IN PUTTING THIS SITE TOGETHER. I HAVE BEEN AN MEMBER OF THE VIETNAM TRIPLE DEUCE AND THE 2/22ND INF. REG. SOCIETY FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. VITNAM 10/68-69 A CO. 2/22 2ND PLT. 2ND SQD.
Comments: Thanks for this web site,Mario! It's been a long time since Ft. Lewis and Vietnam, But the memories are still fresh. Remember FSB Gold? I didn't think I'd survive that day, but thank God, I did. If you know where any of the guys in our unit are now, please let me know.
Comments: Richard, I was at FSB Gold Mar, 21,1967. I didn't think I was going to make it either. 3rd Platoon of Charlie Co. 2/22 charged right into the middle of it. Soui Tre Brother. As Capt. George White, our CO recently told me, "We got some pay back that day." We were getting pretty darn sick of getting snipped at, mined, mortared, etc. Here is one for you Mr. VC. Are you going to the San Antonio reunion? I am--my first and I can hardly wait! Watch out San Antonio, The Triple Deuce is coming! Lynn Dalpez, Beaverton Oregon
Comments: Hello Mech Infantry brothers. I was in Nam with the 1/50 (M) Infantry Battalion in Binh Dinh Province. We were attached to the 1st Cav, one month with 4th Infantry Div. and later with the 173rd. Airborne. I was just wondering if you all did any Air Combat Assaults or were your operations mostly mechanized or dismounted. Being Mech Infantry we probably went through a lot of the same experiences while over there. Good luck to all. Let me know if you did Air Combat Assaults. Thank You Check the 1/50 (M) Inf. website - www.ichiban1.org
Comments: Hi Mario, I have just visited your website and congratulate you on setting it up. I can tell you that being webmaster of the 1/50(M) website has been one of the most rewarding things that I have done for years, and I wish you the same. Stay in touch, brother.

Comments: Mitch, I fired off an e-mail to you last night. Let me know if you did not get it. I had some cumputer problems earlier. I remember Chester "The Molester" Harbour, who was called "butt can" too. I have been looking for him. Any clues? There couldn't be two Harbour's could there? He was always called people a deusch-bag (spell?) He went to Saigon with me in Apr. 1967. We got healthy again, and had a ball. Lynn
Comments: hi
Comments:Really like the new look! Great job. See ya all at the reunion. Doc Eastman
Comments: Hi Mario: Well it is good to see someone else has picked up a computer and has opffered to work himself to death for the good of his brothers. It will become a passion/obsession to find them all, to tell all the stories, and this is good. We have but a small window of time to get it all done. That window of time gets smaller every passing day. I wish you well on your efforts. Iwas but one of the gunship teams that came to visit you on more than one occassion in the middle of the night in some largely unknown piece of jungle.

Comments:I was in Vietnam 1966-1967. I have lived since that time in Dos Palos, Ca. I have been married for 39 wonderful year and have 2 children.
Comments: We were not official members of 2/22 but attached to it via II Field Force. We were in C/7/9 Arty (105mm) at FSB Wood(s)II (7/69-I left in 10/69). I was glad to be with them, they were a great bunch of guys and we knew we could depend on each other. After spending much of my "tour" with ARVN infantry, it was sure good to have our own countrymen with us.
Comments: where are all the 66-67 boat guys all i read is these replacement guys .i know some of them are still kicking but i guess only a few have computers.
Comments: Hi Don! Welcome home Brother. Do you remember me? I am an original from 3rd Platoon C/2/22. Your name is ringing memory bells big time. I was with Joe Deitz's squad through the whole thing--the first squad. I have a May 20, 1966 Charlie Company roster with your name on it. Private E-2, just like me. Here are some names: Merrill McKillip, Plowhorse Pohlman, George "Ferggie" Ferguson, Chester The Molester Harbour, Rich Miller, Steve Cowlthorp, Capt. George White, the frigg'n George Walker boat that took us over. What a tub! Send your e-mail address Brother. Join us! We are getting the old unit back together and trying to write down our story. It's the best thing I have ever done, I'll tell you that. Lynn

Comments: I was a platoon leader with 5th Battalion 60th Infantry (Straight Leg) 9th ID in 1970. After returning from Cambodia we were given the AO Triple Deuce had in the Hobo Woods. We lost more men in the month of July 1970 than we had the first 6 months of 1970. That was a rough area around Trung Lap and Trang Bang. If you are interested we now have an association and website (www.5thbattalion.org).
Comments: Marcus Burke may need a roommate for the reunion. He is having computer problems I believe. Use me for commo with him if you need to...I am an old RTO afterall. Anyone else?

Comments: Hello, Sorry this is so long. I am a 28 year old daughter of my deceased father, Lawrence Kent Hubbell (they spelled it wrong on his uniform as Hubell) who served in Vietnam after being drafted, and no one in my family will tell me anything. I want to know so much more. I am very proud of my father and every one who served. I wish he were alive to talk about it, though I don't think he really wanted to. He and my mom burned all their letters and everything. I got his papers from NPRC but all the abbreviations are confusing and I'm having a hard time finding anyone. Name: Lawrence Kent Hubbell 1.

Anyone that has not attended a reunion before, and wants to know what it is like to go to one for the first time, e-mail me. I will be happy to share my thoughts. Join up and plan for our Kansas City reunion in the spring of 2005. You will never laugh so hard in your life, nor will you ever find others that understand you as we, your Comabat Brothers, do. Lynn

Comments: Co.A,2d Bn,22Inf, 25th.Inf. Div tripple deuceer.I arrived in the Nam at Chu Che, The main thing that I was in happen in the hobo woods. We had moved to Tai Nin because of a large buildup. We were susposed to not make contact with charlie, but everyone knows how that works. We had left the apc and crossed a small stream. After we walked about a klick we saw charlie running from their camp. We moved in and I fragged a spidder hole. to bad charlie was in there. As we moved out there was small arms fire to our flank. We moved around to help the other platoon out. We started crawing and all hell broke lose. We were cought in a v shaped bunker complex.I don't remember how long the fight lasted. We were all shot up perty bad. Lt. called fire support enemy close. Then med evact landed long enough for us to get on board. Only five of us. They flew us to chu chi and then I was taken back out to the chopper and flew to Cam ron bay. The next morning I was sent to Japan. I can't remember much about it. When I arrived in Japan Some General came by one day and pined me with the purple heart and bronze star. One day Gipsey Rose Lee cam by the hospital and that was nice. If any of this sound familiar to anyone I would like to here from you.
Comments: Happy Veterans day to all my Triple Deuce Brothers and American veterans everywhere.

Comments: Hey everyone, I need some help. I would like to locate some fellas that served in Vietnam with my dad, his name is Randall(Randy)Kommer he was a Sgt. The problem is that he doesn't talk about things much and I can understand why, but what he does tell I can't understand where he was located. He once told me he was part of a mechanized unit that was "search and destroy" he was there during 68 to 69 and I know specifically in Sept 69. On his DD214's it has listed as last duty assn HHC 3rd Bn 61st Inf but on some other papers I found it says he served as in infantryman with the 2/22 mechanized 25th infantry near Tay ninh (sp?). All I have are slides with various soldiers names on them and some places. I would really appreciate any help you can give me to help with my search. Thanks so much!!

Comments: Good web site. The Order of the Ant should be given to all those who make the effort in the future to attend. Mine hangs at home for all to see. If someone asks I tell them it's a secret society! We all need to put an effort into contacting guys that came after we left and didn't have the good fortune to know more than just your squad or platoon. Lets not leave the rest of our family out there and help get them to Kansas City. Special thanks to Gary for his more than extra effort. Thank you to all those who contribute and make this web site possible.

Comments: the other day i was laying down on my bed and thinking, the thought was had the Vietnam war, has effected so many people it is a issuse today as it was 30+ years ago, i guess the reason is that most people in all walks of life, are the one's that went to Vietnam and saw what war is, and then you have the ones thaty protested the war and instead of doing there America duty, ran to Canada or where have you, these type of people are always tryiung to make it up to us Vet.,even people like John Kerry a turncoat, will lie for the shame that he carries and the gulit, nice to have them carry the gulit for a while, but what it show's me is that, 1st we the VietNam Vet. was right in doing our duty, and they who ran and protested were wrong, i have a talk with one of the VietNam era Potesters and his, excuse was he was a young kid that did not know better, and i say that is just another lie for WE the VietNam Vet. was the young ones, none of your type still can not just say you were wrong being young is a poor excuse. i just wanted to share that, with some of the VietNam Vet. that are still out there in the streets, still feeling gulity, thats all

Comments: Served in 2/22 Mech. from Jan. '67 until May '67. WIA on May 17th. Life has been good to me. I never forgot, though, the ones who died in my unit, and the ones I left behind when I was injured. I want to try to locate as many as I can remember. Never knew this website existed until recently. I live in Franklin, TN. but was born and raised in Mobile, AL. In the process of building a house at the moment. My address will be changing soon. I'll leave my new, permanent address once the move is complete. My voice mail # is 1-800-422-1682, ext. 86916.

Comments:Hey Mario, I am glad I talked you into being webmaster. the site keeps getting better all the time. To David Budd, you are AWOL and so is your brother Dennis. Please give me a call your email does not work. To Don Ryan, I hear you are still drinking in the same bar in Lake Ronkokoma some 40 years later. Is the Tavern on the Lake still there. I still remember a major bar fight in the winter of 1963 or 1964, the lake was frozen solid and the fight left the bar and moved to the frozen lake surface. To Randy Kommer, If you were in 'alcholic alpha', Clarence Simponson got a tape from the NYC radio station in early 1967 and "I'm a believer" was on that tape along with "Winchester Catheral"(a song I still hate today). Everytime we came in from a mission that tape played over and over for the 1 day and 2 nights in the Dau Tieng base camp in the EM bar "Ty 1 on" A trivia answer just for you Randy Kommer. Please see my post about this in the archived guestbook.

Comments: The ABO'S are having a REUNION, OUR FIRST AND ONLY IN TRAVERSE CITY,MICHIGAN. It will be on Sep 22,2004 wednesday to Sep 26,2004 Sunday. ABO stands for ALPHA BOAT ORIGINALS. All Triple Deucers of any era are invited. Over 50% of the original contingent of A/2/22 were from Michigan. By pure luck our starting date is the same date as we sailed to vietnam on the Gen. Nelson Walker. Only 38 years later. This is not being done as a substitute for the 2005KC reunion but to get more of the Michigan guys involved in the Triple Deuce.Please phone or email me for a registration form.I have sent out over 100 reunion packets and expect a good sized turnout.Guys in C/2/22 from Wisconsin & Minn are especially welcome.Also my new friends i met from the C/3/22 Assn last year in Portland Oregon.Anyone that was in the 22IRS are also welcome.

Comments: Served with Charlie Company, 2/22, 25th Inf from June 1969 through May 1970. Left Cambodia a few days after the road ambush on the 22nd of May 1970. At the time of DEROS, I was on the CO's track as the battalion radio operator, but spent most of my tour with 3rd platoon. I went to tunnel school late 1969, so did most of the demo work for the platoon, including blowing up the convoy of NVA trucks in Cambodia. Does anybody recall the day we were looking for a tank and found a Volkswagon with a bazooka on the roof instead. Lost a bunch of good people in both Vietnam and Cambodia. Wish I could remember the names of those later in my tour, but I only carry the names of those KIA before we went into Cambodia. If there is anyone out there from 3rd platoon, drop me a note. There was a Clifton Mack, better known as "Jimmy Mack", Jim Daniels from Kentucky and I'll have to dig up some of the other names. Welcome Home!

They have restaurants in most major cities. They request that you make a reservation but you do not have to.Boston,Providence(Jim May are you paying attention?)NYC,NJ,Chicago,KC(Ival a freebie)Minn. Texas, LA and SF(Dennis Zollo pay attention)Wash DC(Mario don't know if it is inside or outside the beltway.Jim may will give you a safe conduct pass)For a list of their rest. locations go to www.mccormickand schmicks.com, once there click on rest locations, then click on city for listing of restuarants. They did this last year in Portland but do not know if it applies to other cities.I think it is a nice jesture on their part to recognize us vets.It is an upscale chain where the meals on in the $20-25& up range.I wonder if Bruce Blakeslee will take a plane to NYC for a free meal from Florida???

Comments: I was with B company, 2nd platoon, 4th squad (white square) 2/22 from March 69 to March 70. I was home for about a month when I watched Triple Duece on tv going into Cambodia. I carried the M-60 for 5 months before graduating to the 50 cal, then to squad leader for the last month and a half. At the time I knew the layout of the AO but, since no one ever gave me a map, I'm only now learning the names of a lot of places. Question: Our tracks were marked with symbols so you could identify anyone at a distance. If I remember correctly the colors were red, white, blue, yellow for A, B, C, mortars, respectively. 1st platoon had a 1, second platoon a circle, third a triangle, and fourth a square. None of the pictures I've seen of Triple Duece have these markings. When were they used? Joe Spado. I didn't have much to do with the mortars except to let them know where the ambush patrols were REALLY going to be before we went out. You guys could keep a secret from the Platoon Leaders and the CC and no rounds from H&I fire ever came close to us even when we were nowhere near where we were suppose to be. THANX!! All the mortar support was great and the only time I ever saw a screw-up was when a short round (wet powder?) landed on some ARVNs. I think the brass came down on the CC over it. I saw the round hit and at first thought it was incoming from the NVA. This is a great site. Glad I found it.

Comments: I just had another flashback. Bravo was working with some ARVNs in the bush on foot away from our tracks when a 51 cal opened up on us. Everyone hit the deck except 3 or 4 ARVNs with M-60s. They stood there firing in the direction of the 51 cal fire. Those guys looked like Rambo standing there spitting fire. I don't think anyone got hit on either side. After we got back to our tracks at dusk the rains came. We all got into the tracks to keep dry and some ARVNs were yelling into the tracks at us. The Chu Hoi said they were pissed because, since they were the only ones that held their ground earlier in the day, THEY should get to stay in the tracks to keep out of the rain and the Americans should get out and get wet. Their commander went around yelling at them while beating them with a stick. It was funny as hell and I felt sorry for them as they got soaked for the next couple of hours. Steve

Comments: Hi guys want to wish all a great 2005 and hope to see many at KC in May. I have a trivia question for Boat guys and those who trained at Ft. Lewis. I am still on a hunt for my uniform because i want to take the CIB off it.I was looking for my dog tags and found with them 2 little emblem pins that are attached with a goLd chain about 1 1/2" in length separating the 2 metal emblems . One is the Ivy patch with raised gold words on a gold surface above that read"4th division" and below the Ivy leaf emblem in raised gold letters on a gold background is the phrase "USA" the other metal emblem is a 22nd unit emblem. I was wondering where they came from. Now in Ft. Lewis all my spare money went for beer and other essentials. I was after all an Army hating draftee and can not picture buying them with my own funds so they must have been issued to us but do not know any other details. Does anyone else have this silly thing? and know when and why it was issued/ Was it something to go on the class A uniform?? Or what?

Comments: It is my sad duty to report the death of Andy Leach. Andy was an Alpha boat Original. He died on Friday Feb 25,2005.He was born on 10/03/43.He is survived by his wife of almost 40 years(married 9/18/65)Helen Oszust.He was a 40 year employee of the Buick Motor Div. retiring in Jan 2005. Andy lived all his life in Birch Run, Michigan and enjoyed hunting,fishing,woodcarving and nature walks.Surviving are his wife Helen,3 children Andrew Leach of Cape Cod,Mass.; Dale Leach of Grand Rapids and Troy Leach,Sr.; a grandson Troy Jr., 2 granddaughters Nicole Leach and Shanna Douglas; 4 brothers, Larry, Jim, Chris and Earl;2 sisters, Janet and Helen. Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, 2 brothers and 1 sister. A funeral mass was held on Monday Feb 28,2005 at Assumption BVM Catholic Church, where Andy was very active as a lay reader. Louis Gross was able to attend the service and express the condolences on behalf of Triple Deuce. Andy's firstborn was 6 months old before he saw him. Andy got a bad concussion from a fallen tree limb while doing jungle clearing. He was an APC driver for the 1st gun squad of the mortar platoon. Other squad members during his tour were Joe Fraser(CN)Sqd ldr, Bruce Blakeslee(NY), Lou Gross(MI),Lyndon Burkes(KY),Larry Hansen(NE), Gary Hartt(NY)(on occasion when in trouble). I was fortunate to havde known Andy during our army service both in Ft. Lewis and Vietnam. I also consider very lucky that I was able to renew our friendship in several phone calls since 2001. Andy was thought of highly by all that knew him. We had hoped to get him to a reunion but he died rather suddenly from Melanoma cancer that was just discovered in Dec 2004. It was diagnosed too late and was in the menstastic state and spread thru the lymph nodes and actual cause of death was a resulting brain tumor growth. I was advised by my VA councilor to inform Helen Leach to file and Agent Orange Claim as Andy"s death due to Agent Orange caused cancer is classified as service connected. Please say some prayers for the Leach Family, especially Helen who was gracious in talking with me last night.

Comments: Origional Boat. If Sgt. Penn is out there I still have his book which I need to return to him. He was and I am sur still is a hellava nice guy and had a tatoo on his right arm that said "Stinky". I also have the blue discs that go under the brass lepal pins on a class A uniform that belong to a good solder named Boulgerghard (sp). I wish to return them also with a long over "Thank You". These two guys were in H HQ BN Maint. 2/22 when Dau Tieng was a French atp mine infested hill. It is strange how stuff floates in and out of memories. I remember when Cooper called in an 8 incher when we were on L.P. because he thought he heard something in front of us. He had the radio and I did not know what the clicking was about. I thought I was deaf and blind from that round. I damn near soiled my fatigues. OK, I did soil them. Any one know what happened to "Top" Sgt. who wore the patch of "Merrels Maruders". We used to call him "Combat" in basic at Ft Lewis, but not to his face. I found his name in a small booklet from W.W.II in a book store about 25 yrears ago where he got the Silver Star and Purple Hart in Burma. Welcome Home, Jim

Remembering all those who are no longer with us and for the honor of having served with them. Thanks to all that served after us and to those serving now. May God keep them safe so that next Thanksgiving they may spend it with family and friends right here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Comments: I was transferred into the triple deuce, 4th Inf.Div.Mech. in Dau-Tieng around Aug. 1967, from the 1stBn. 5th Inf.25th Inf. Div. Bobcats, where I spent time after arriving in country the first of April 1967. I was only in the 4th Div. a couple of weeks before the 25th Inf. Div. had taken over the Div. and the area, so I spent the rest of my tour in Co.A 2nd Bn. 22nd Inf. 25th Inf. Div. till the last of April 1968. Somewhere around the last of March, my track hit a landmine. I lost my hearing for over two weeks and part of memory. I cannot remember any names except one, John (Tex) Bergeron from Houston, Tx. I had the pleasure of spending a weekend with him while I was stationed in Ft. Hood Tx. Since I left the army, I have not had any contact with him, nor have I met anyone that was in my units in the last 39 yrs. So I would just like to say HELLO to all my brothers in all my units and WELCOME HOME. This is first time signing in on this guest list and the second time on any guest list.

I know that I was in the 45th Surgical Unit in Tay Ninh but spent a short time being treated somewhere else. Does anyone remember if there was a clinic or hospital at Dau Tieng? Thanks.

Had two reasons for popping in, to day hello and to ask if anyone remembers an incident. Second platoon was moving through light jungle alone in Nov or early Dec I think, when a branch whipped up over the 50 shield and whacked me on the head. Lost helmet, got knocked off track, etc. Shortly after, a fire pissant nest fell in the lead track. If anyone remembers this incident, please email me. Thanks.

Comments: William H Van Gelder of B Company is my Uncle. He was KIA on August 15th 1970 and appears to be the last Triple Duece casualty suffered in the Nam. i have vague memories of my uncle. What i do remember is he was a fun loving guy. I was hoping that maybe i could talk to someone who knew him there. What was he like over there? What were the circumstances surrounding his death? Maybe someone has a picture i could copy. Basically looking to close the loop on lots of questions that have run through my mind over the years. I am currently on active duty in the Navy. I live in Federal Way, Wa which is just North of FT Lewis. Served our country for 22 years now. I have made many sacrifices but nothing i have done can ever come close to what the Nam Vets have endured. I will be a fequent visitor to this site so keep the stories coming.

Comments: I am putting together a CD Slide-video show Tribute to the men that were in Charlie Company 2-22 in 1966-1967. What I need is a picture of you in VN and a Picture of you now. These are the "Walker Boat People" and anyone else that served in 66-67. I am putting this to music and have quite a few Walter Cronkite news clips of our company in VN. I need your help in putting this together, if you have names and address's or pictures you can either email them or sent them to Jim Neeley, 419 S. Clark, Aberdeen, Wa. 98520. Any picture that has groups of people or one that you think would be interesting, and would like it in this Tribute, sent them. This has been a large undertaking , been difficult getting address's of everyone. When completed, everyone that I have an address for, I will mail them a copy of this CD. So if you were in Charlie Company in 66-67, please help by sending pictures and known addresses of others that were there. If you have pictures of our fallen brothers, I need them too. There will be a section to Tribute them also. Lynn Dalpez, I need your addresses you have also. So, "Thanks" in advance, this, when completed, will be a valuable asset to any VN vets. My address is 419 S. Clark, Aberdeen, Wa. 98520

Comments: I remember "Pappy." He was called that because at "the grand old age" of 25, he was so much older than the rest of us. He also seemed a lot wiser than nineteen year olds. He was one of the original "boatpeople." He was from West Texas, and was an authentic cowboy by occupation. Unfortunately, us medics tended to lose track of each other once we were assigned to line units. (I was attached to Alpha company) I didn't even recall that Pappy had been wounded, though I'm sure I knew it at the time. Mad Doc

Comments: I was in the reactionery force to support bunker 65 on Feb 23rd (battle of Dau Tieng) the guys in 222 were the best. Lot's of chaos that night, NVA had penetrated into the base camp. I spent much time with the 222 on sweeps eagle flights and patrols throughout my year there. I was attached to HQ 277 Arty and most of us spent a lot of time out in the field and surrounding bases with 222, lost a few too. It was eerie to read an account of that night and actually find a photo of that burned track and wrecked bunker on the internet, never thought I would ever see it like that. One of my associates here at work was 222 and in Dau Tieng the year before me, we have since shared many photos and memories.

I wasn't alive during Vietnam, but my dad served, and I just want to let you know I haven't forgotten you guys this Memorial Day. Sadly, we never seem to get to that part of our giant history book in high school, and to many I'm sure it's just some long gone piece of history. Well, you just know I'm thinking of 'ya all.

Comments: C-2-22 Boat People Reunion is in Centrailia, Wa July 28th. For those brothers that were at Soui Tre 40 years ago, March 21,1967, you were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for that Battle. It does not show on your DD214 because it was not signed by the President until Sept 23, 1968. We were all home by then. You can apply for a "Correction to DD214, to show you were awarded the Pres. Unit Citation. Most everyone I talked to are unaware that they have this Award. The Pres Unit Citation is a Unit Citation and is equal to the Distingust Service Cross, which is the second highest Award Amercia gives, only thing higher is the Congressional Medal of Honor. This is something that you earned and belongs to you. The Government will send you your medal and update your DD214. You will need to fill out form SF180. You can get this thru the VA or online. Fill out the paper, letting them know you never recieved this award, takes about 3 min. to fill out. Make a copy of the Pres Unit Citation from the Triple Deuce Home page and mail to the address shown. If you are coming to the Reunion, I will have copies of the form and the Citation and can help you fill this out if needed. Any questions, e-mail me...PS If you want to get this online, e-mail me for the address, commit box does't allow the address.

Comments: It was an honor and a real pleasure to join the men from Charlie Company at the reunion in Centralia, Washington. Since returning to Virginia I have had a difficult time describing to family and friends the depth of my feelings and what it meant to me. I don't seem to have the words to fully express myself. I have always considered the two year period during which we served together in Charlie Company a most significant part of my life. This reunion will always be one of the most cherished moments of my life. I sincerely look forward to future opportunities to meet again with the Centralia crew and with other men of Charlie Company and Recon with whom I served. I hope we will have time together so that I can lear about your experiences, lives and families over the last 40 years. Charlie Company was extraordinary only because of the men in the Company, you, were exceptional. I urge you to continue your fellowship and bring in other Chargin Chuck veterans. Many at the reunion discribed each other as brothers. Because of your shared experiences you are truly brothers and family. Rank being what it was back then, our experiences were often different. So, though I may not deserve the status of brother, for that time in our lives I was and remain extremely proud to have been what Army slang refers to as your OLD MAN. Roger-Lt. Fry

Comments: Please check out the National Trust for Historic Preservation website. Go to the update on "The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". The Trust is campaigning to prevent the Superintendent of Memorials from destroying the marble headstone and replacing it with another stone. The current stone is cracked and can be repaired the same as other marble memorials have been in the past. This is the only memorial to the WWI veterans. This headstone shouldbe repaired. Destroying would be a desecration.

The battle of Suoi Tre at Firebase Gold and finding a soldier drafted with some of us so greatful we came to the aid of the fire base. I had to click on the memorial page after contemplating for some time. Though some of the names escape me at times their faces never. They will always be in my thoughts. Once again this year a group of veterans gather at a Sportsman lodge in the hills of Central Pennsylvania for Veterans Day, men from different branches of the military to pay respect to those who served ewspecially those who are no longer with us.

Comments: I had a great visit with Larry Nuckolls. Both of us were in B Company, he in late 1969, me for most of 1969. Our tours overlapped. We are mortarmen. WE visited for a few days and had a great time. We talked with another Veteran friend we both had in common, Steve Sinn, over the phone. We attended a Veterans Day ceremony where we were honored as Veterans, together, and it was an honor to be with someone who was there with me. I am leaving today from my home town in Northern Wisconsin to travel to Clarks Hill, South Carolina. In Clarks Hill, I will attend another Veterans ceremony on Saturday, November 17, 2007, at the Bethany Baptist Church. This is the home community for Frazier Dixon, KIA December 3, 1969. This is where he lived before war, this is where he is buried. Someone contacted me after all these years, it's a long story, but I will go return his Spirit to his Friends, Family and Community. You see, Steve Sinn and I were with Dixon when he passed. I'll say hello to his family from all of us.

Comments: Today marks the 41st anniversary of the Battle of Soui Tre. I can't help but think of that day today, and how lucky I was to face that day with my brave Brothers of the Triple Deuce. You all helped me to do my part then, and are helping me to deal with those memories today. Wear your Presidential Unit Citations with pride, and forgive those that placed us there, as well as our former enemy who suffered greatly at our hands. Forgive, but never forget, as if you could forget. It was pay-back time that day. Leave it at that.

Comments: I submitted announcement of our reunion to the VFW and American Legion magazines a couple of months ago. There were supposed to be two entries in each mag-one with Skip Fahels name adress and phone for the 22nd IRS and mine for the VN222. The VFW only listed Skips stuff, and the American Legion screwed it up by listing my name with the 22nd IRS, not mentioning VN222. Thought you should know. Dick

Comments: It is with deep and profound sorrow for his family, and for us, who have lost a Brother in Arms to his final Muster with the "General in the Sky" I notify you of the passing of Gary Krek. Last night, March 29, 2008. I wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to join me in expressing sympathy and the love of the Brotherhood to his family and friends and us. And of course, these few are but a FEW of those who would likely want to know and have such an opportunity, so I respectfully ask you to "PASS THE WORD" A Salute to MSG RETired ROBERT GARY KREK, 2d Bn, 22ND INF.

If you see this Smitty, email me. Remember April 1970 when we blew that bush and got nine of them. Its been 38 years. Can't hardly believe it.

The divorce had been done under the veil of secrecy, according to Russian media, in February. The marrige will take place in St Petersburg on June 15, at the palace Konstantinovo. Alina Kabaeva is 25 years old, Russian gymnast who has had major success on the international stage including Olympic gold in Athens. She is considered one of the most beautiful Russian woman, and in 2007 entered the Russian Parliament as a member of the "United Russia" party. According to sources, Putin and Kabaeva are more 'than friends' since 2000. Putin (56) has two daughters with Ljudmila, 23 years old Marja and 21 years old Katerina. True or not, everything will be confirmed very soon, though is likely that Putin will follow in Sarkozy's footsteps.

Comments: I share Dick Nash's sentiment and hope everyone has a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend. Please take time to remember our fallen brothers. In Oregon, on Saturday some of our Portland 25ID group will help Larry Mason C-2-22 celebrate his 40th Wedding Aniv. Then on Monday, our group gathers at the beautiful Oregon Vietnam Memorial to honor the 800 plus Oregon KIAS, including George Holladay of Coos Bay(KIA 7-15-67) I have the privilege of reading some 22 names that includes George Holladay. After the names are read, we march-walk with our flags and present a wreath in their honor. After the conclusion of the memorial service, we gather for a lunch. Paige Lanier, our 1st Arty officer-FO(with A-2-22) and his family happens to be in the Portland area and will join us. PS CJ Simpson while you are marching in the Quad next year in Seattle, I and the other guys will sit in lawn chairs, beer in hand, watching and trying not to laugh out loud. HA HA

Comments: Just returned from a Veterans Day program in Frazier Dixon's home town of Clarks Hill, SC. (Dixon was KIA on Dec. 3, 1969, he was with Co B Triple Duece). I was there last year as well. I met more family members, the ones that couldn't make it last year. It was a wonderful experience with a lot of closure and healing. I also made new friends for life and ate some unbelieveably good Southern style home cooking. Sorry guys, had to drive past the South Pittsburg, TN exit, but I had Grandkids in tow and no time to waste, maybe one of these days I'll get to stop at that Base Camp Bar. Peace to all of you. If you want to read about this years trip to Clarks Hill, email me and I'll direct you there.

I just got the following from Art Beltrone from the Marking Time Vietnam Grafitti group. Quote We have been told by Nicole Marks that the CBS News story about 222 and the Vietnam Graffiti exhibit is scheduled for this Sunday, November 1. It will be broadcast during the 6 pm national news, barring any unforeseen bumping due to a hard news development. Can you spread the word from your end? If it is bumped, we would be told of the re-schedule time. End quote Nicole Marx is the producer, and the News Correspondent that interviewed us is Randall Pinkston.

Comments: Well we got bumped again by CBS who still maintains that the piece on our reunion will air one day. It will be, they say, on the Sunday night CBS News. The 22nd? The 29th? So, I'll advise to check in with CBS during that time. We probably will never be able to say that it will air for sure on any particular day. History takes a back seat to current events. Our CBS contact is very apologetic about all this.

I'm happy I ran across this site - seems like there's a lot of good information. Thanks so much in advance

I would like to link up to any of you in C Company. I am looking for names, especially our medic, Dock,a vegetarian and concientious objector(carried no weapons),but saved many lives and did not hesitate to run into the thick of the action without weapon. I worked the plotting board on FDC track. Lost two tracks and four men on 01-13-69 from Dau Tang to Cu Chi Convoy division size ambush. Remember? Can't forget. Get in touch. I have many photographs.

Comments: I was sent to Lyon France in or about 1995. Went to Normandy. It was the first year the beach was open to be used by sun bathers, because the authorities thought all the ordnance had been finally removed after all these years. The Military Cemetery there was much like Arlington and eventhough it is in France, it is considered American soil and is run by the U.S. Park Dept. There is a monument showing what units went where and walls of missing in action. The 22nd Inf. had a large section of that wall. It is all done in white stone. Tried to count the names, but the sun was so bright my eyes got too misty to count more names. Wish I would have counted them all. Pap Boat Orig.

Comments: Recently I Visited with my cousin who was in the 4th Infantry 3rd Brigade in Vietnam. He trained at Fort Lewis and left for Vietnam Sept 66. He was in the Army Recon Platoon and part of the battle of Cedar Falls Junction City. On may 10 of 67 he transferred to the 175TH Outlaws as a door gunner. I just want to say that I am very proud of him, he is and always will be my Hero. He and all the Vietnam Vets have my utmost respect and admiration. Thank You All for your service, your sacrifice and welcome home. My cousin is Larry Howard Smith.

Comments: Hey Guys. My dad (from the Lawrence Kent Hubbell tribute) was injured on 05-08-67 when the machine gun jammed or something and shrapnel went into his thigh. I believe this was during training or something. Anyway, when he was in the hospital over the next week or two, the M113 he was part of got blown up and all the guys died. Is there a way to find out who these soldiers may have been? Thanks. He was in Co B. Still no luck with anyone claiming the Annie Fanny on the side of the M113

C, 1st platoon, 2 of the 22nd starting spring of 1969. I knew him from basic Medic training and some subsequent schooling, we were Nebr homeboys and did everything together during that time. He will rest in Crete, NE but no details are available yet. We just reconnected a year ago and we were looking forward to getting together, but now will have to wait.

I can't remember the excat day i got to fort lewis it was late dec 65,I took basic with charlie co 2nd bn 22nd inf mech 4th division, cpt white was the co and lt ridrosky was the exc office, after basic went on leave,when I came back was assigned to hhc support platoon, This made me a little mad because I had got to know all the people in charley co, Little did I know that this possiblly saved my life later on. I drove a truck until sometime in the fall of 66 and was prommoted to sgt e-5 and from than until dec 10 66 was in charge of the ammo dump, I suppose I could have died with a road mine saw a truck blowed up in front of me and one blew up in back of me, but the good lord carried me through all of it. So far I have made contact with Joe Stephens he was in my section in suport plt in nam He and his wife visted our home last fall and we are all going on a cruise the last of feb this year,I am going to talk to him about going to the renuion this year so far he is the only one from my section that I have made contact with, I see a lot of names that I remmber from basic anyway happy new year to everbody,especilly all of the orginal boar people kenny eccles

Comments: Gentlemen, One of our own has been fighting a valiant fight against kidney failure, and is finally in line to get a replacement from his son. The surgery had been scheduled in time for Bill Lipp to still make the Atlanta reunion, but it was postponed last week and keeps this great guy, and Alpha Co 2-22 vet from being with us in body April 14th. He will definitely be there in spirit and prayer when the other Alpha guys and all of us who have met Bill at several reunions gather in Georgia. But if you have the time, please send Bill a bit of well wishing from a combat Brother, you. I know he will appreciate it. His e-mail is wlipp@kc.rr.com. Dick Nash

Comments: Mike, I am sorry for your Father's untimely death. I have no way to see if Jimmy Dean Pruitt was on the roster for the 2nd of the 22nd Mech. If he went over on the Nelson, as all the boat origionals did, we could not all leave Dau Tieng all at the same time so we were sent to different Units for our last 60 days or so of our time in Nam. I went to the 4th of the 23rd Mech and there is a possibility your Father went to the Aty Unit of the 1st Cav. I hope my reply is not the only one you get.

Comments: Mike, sorry for your dads death.Suicide per cent was very high among Vietnam Vets, as it is now among our combat Vets comming home from Iraq, and Afganastan.Was your Dad getting any dissability from the VA for his PTSD?If so then he might have gotten counseling either through the VA, or your County VA office.Some Vets were part of outreach programs from your state,or County VA office.There might be people he talked to that would remember more details of his time in Nam.But like alot of Guys do, he might of kept everything inside and not reached out for assistance.Alchoholism is very high among Vets.Its a way of dealing with the pain, guilt, memories of events we're not equiped to handle by ourselves.Your dad went off to war for his Country, came back to a normal life,and tried to be part of that "Lifestyle" but wasn't "normal" as no one is after combat.Godbless your Dad for being a Vetran, and good luck with your search

I would ask all members to remember that we all came from different backgrounds, religions, races, and life styles,as did our fallen brothers. I believe that our fallen brothers want us to unite in the goals that the VN222, Inc. is trying to accomplish. That being to find the rest of our brothers, and get them to join us, and our fallen brothers, in that cause. I hope that you are all well. God bless you all.
