| Following basic training at Ft. Campbell, Ky., and A.I.T.at Fort Gordon, Ga., I was selected for duty in Vietnam, arriving in-country in late March 1970. Assigned to HHC, 45th General Support Group, located at Camp Schmidt, Pleiku, I found myself working as a clerk in Group Headquarters. Later in my tour, I had the opportunity to become a courier, basically operating an inter-office mail facility and carrying correspondence between my facility and a larger facility in Qui Nhon, riding in C-123's, C-7's, and on one interesting occasion, a VNAF C-119. This page is dedicated to: - The fine people I served with in Pleiku, 1970-1971, - The great people who had it a lot tougher than those of us serving in a pretty safe position - because they went out into harms' way and kept areas like ours safe, and, especially... - Those who gave their lives in Southeast Asia, because they loved their country and their families, and served with honor! |
