Unit/Tour/Comments: I was with the 573rd S&S Co. DS from Aug 66 thru Sept. 67. Our unit was newly formed at Fort Campbell, Ky and moved as a unit aboard the troop carrier USNS Gen.William S. Weagle. I remember how quiet everyone got when the LSU was about to land at Qhi Non. Our unit was made up of a Class 1, Class 2&4, Class 3 (POL),Class 5,a laundry and bath platoon, and a graves registeration platoon. I was in the POL Section and was the one who ordered fuel to be brought by convoy to Pleiku area. I oftened stood on the road by Camp Holloway to separate the convoy and send fuel on to New Pleiku Air Force and also to Class 3 at Camp Holloway. Although I did not fly the aircraft and be in direct contact with the pilots and crews, I still had a small part in the lives of them that bore the brunt of the fighting there. I enjoyed this site and I hope to contact some old friends because of it. It will always be in my thoughts and hardly a day goes by that I don't think of the men and women that didn't get to come home with us. Thanks for making my day. I would welcome anyone who would like to correspond and exchange old (War Stories) like the night, while on guard duty, at the POL yard during dense fog, we saw movement and began firing for about 15 minutes and when daylight came we found 17 dead water buffalo out side our perimeter. These kind of stories are the ones I try tell to my children and grandchildren as it is easier to tell. Thanks again for maintaining this site and hope to here from old buddies soon.

Unit/Tour/Comments: Arrived Camp Holloway Sep 65 with 2d Platoon, 498th Air Amb Co. Attached to 52nd CAB for logistics. Was the A/C on the 1st Flight into Plei Me Special Forces Camp early the morning after it was taken under attack by the NVA.Pilot was a W/O Peters who was later killed in a 1st Cav operation. Made several more Evacs plus one night evac during the attack. Found it comforting to have the 52nd Guns along and also to other locations such as Dak Peck. Only nervous about the slow speed with the D model so the B model guns could keep pace.

In 1994 my father was struck a cruel blow by the loss of his wife of 50 years; Ann to cancer. Since my mothers death, pop had a hard time dealing with loneliness and the loss of a sense of purpose. He spent a good deal of time with myself, my brother, and his grandchildren. He also took up canoeing as a hobby. He toured many rivers in Wyoming and the west by canoe. My wife and I often accompanied him on these trips.

I found someone with the same interest as I on this site. The 4th Inf Div. had a valley close to the base camp which was mortered every night. What was the name of it, I forgot. Maybe someone can tell me. I remember because I could see the explosions every night. Proudly served in 66-67. Anybody out there run convoys, I sure would like to hear from you.
