| Comments: | I served as an avn supply clerk with the 12 cag in ft. Bragg,nc
in 1975-77. One of my best friend that I met was stationed with this unit. His friendship left a very memorable life imprint with me. He was a door gunner in nam, when I met him he wwas a cw2 pilot. I will forever remember him in my heart. His death in Korea was a shocking blow to my soul. He saved my life in an operating room, 30 years later in a near death experiance. |

| Comments: | In the late 1950’s and thru the middle ‘60’s, Saigon, Viet-Nam was occupied territory. Yes, occupied by dependents of the military, business people, and embassy personnel. Some of their memories are recorded in various sites, but two are below:
www.saigonkids.com; and http://saigonkidsamericancommunityschool.com/ Having gone to school in Saigon in the early 1960’s, I found these two sites to be great, having linked up to some old school mates. While most military personnel who served in the war look back with jaded memories, but there are good memories for many of us. And oh, yes, I was in the 12th CAG. Regards - Ken |

| Comments: | Hi,
It was good to see the pictures. It brought back a lot of memories. I was there the same time you were (Oct 1965- Oct 1966). I have lost touch with everyone. Please let me know if there is any reunion planned. I work with a lady whose husband was with the 145th Aviation and they seem to have frequent reunions. Hope someone will start one for us. It would be good to hear from anyone that served during that timeframe. Fitz, I remember you being there. Also one of you pictures was of Ken Lowe.....he was my replacement. Let me know if you have any addresses or phone numbers. Doug Rutledge Atlanta GA |
