  1. Tom Howlett · Chapel Hill, NC

    1/24/2017, My Tho, Vietnam. Anchored here overnight on a cruise boat from Cambodia to Saigon. Realized this afternoon that I'm passing Dong Tam, where in March 1969 I just got back in country after a week R&R when a rocket came in around midnight and I fortunately just got into the bunker before it hit. That night my hooch was destroyed, the ammo dump was all fireworks, we evacuated to the north end of the base and I was only able to get a chopper late the next day out to the USS Mercer where I was on Commodore Now's MRF staff. 48 years later I'm on the same part of the Mekong that I spent Aug 68-Aug 69. I'm glad to see the Delta prosper these days!

  3. Nick Greiner

    My father, Barry Greiner, was served with B Btry, 3/34, 9th Inf. He passed away in 2003 when I was 8 years old and I am always looking for people who knew him so I can learn more about my father.

    If you knew him, or have ideas on how I can find other veterans who served with him, please reach out to me at ngreiner16@gmail.com.

    Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.

  4. Joseph Frankie · Manvel, TX

    Thanks for the great layout on the CCB-18.
    I was the J43 at US Atlantic Command- Director, Logistics Operations Division, J4 (1998-2001)
    Admiral Gehman had asked if we could assist the organization, MRFA, in moving it from the Mare Island area to the Coronado area in ~1999. The mission was to do it right from a regulatory perspective and perform it at no cost.
    My compliments on your patience and flexibility to work with us so we could get the move accomplished as a training exercise on multiple levels. We appreciate the note in the Accolades on CCB-18.
    I look forward to seeing it the next time I am in San Diego.
    Regards, Joe Frankie III, COL (Ret.), US Army

  5. Phil Larimore · Winston-Salem, NC

    I had the extreme pleasure of talking for over an hour today with a veteran of the riverine force, Teddy Brown, from Greensboro, North Carolina, who served aboard the USS Sphynx (ARL-24) in 1969. It was a great honor to meet an American hero, a Vietnam veteran. All of you are my heroes, and I cannot say enough about how much all of you mean to me. I will strive hard the rest of my days to honor each and every one of you. You deserve it. And thanks, Mr. Brown, for the educational experience.
