#NACOGDOCHES DAILY SENTINEL HERITAGE HUNT 2018 HOW TO#

After 5 months in the field, I was pulled to the 93rd Evac at Long Binh to work with soldiers suffering from combat fatigue. Remember your Christmas in Vietnam? Mine was spent on an ambush patrol near the Cambodian border. Fought the NVA on the slopes of Nui Ba Den twice with numerous firefights in and around the area bordering the Cambodian border. I served with 3/22nd, 25th Infantry Division out of Tay Ninh as an infantryman.

I came upon this site while surfing the net and knew that the above statement would have special meaning for all Vietnam Vets.

'TO THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THAT THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW!' The bunker/hooch was right next to the helicopter landing pad and had a separate min-bunker with a 50 caliber machine gun, which wasn’t operative because it “needed parts”!! And if you never found out, this same base was overrun 5-13-1968, something they never told us when seeking volunteers in July!! Please contact me at: or 65 Those of us that left the day before were quite fortunate, to say the least! I would like to get in touch with the guys who shared the fighting bunker and sleeping hooch for that 6 weeks. 8 soldiers were killed, and 15 enemy soldiers killed before they abandoned the attack. The site was hit at 2AM the next morning in pouring rain and fog. That site turned out to be on top of Nui Ba Dinh, and the only way in and out was via helicopter, and that was only when the mountaintop wasn’t enveloped in clouds! The month ended up being 6 weeks before we were replaced on 8-17-1968 late afternoon. After spending several weeks as a radio operator at semi-mobile fire support bases, there was a call for volunteers and I agreed to go to a signal site as a security force for a month assignment(this was in the 1st day or two of July). I was a soldier in co B of the 125th signal battalion based in Cu Chi after arriving in Vietnam 4-15-1968. Thank you for your sacrifice for our country.

If anyone knows how to replace these things or even just knows him feel free to text 2764699399 or email I am so appreciative of all you brave people. I want to show him how much we appreciate his sacrifice. I want to surprise him with a replica of his uniform & insignias just to show him that we haven't forgot his service to the country. I want to surprise him because his father's house caught fire like 40 years ago & he's not seen nothing military related since then. I'm trying to figure out how I can replace his uniform & insignias. He not only lost his home but all his regalia. He lost all his military things in a house fire. His discharge certificate stated he was released in 1972. After his tour, he was stationed in Fort Hood for a while.

He then went to Korea & was in Camp Alex Williams from April 1967 - May 1968 he did a 13 month tour. He was drafted in 1966 & November that year he was sent to Fort Bragg then to Fort Jackson for training if I'm not mistaken. He is not only my grandfather - he is my dad, mom, best friend, & hero. He adopted me at 10 & raised me my entire life. As an American born & raised, I can never repay all the Veterans for their sacrifices. Hello I want to start by saying thank you all for your service.
