I wanted to make sure anyone living in Washington State near Bellingham know that the Vietnam Traveling Wall will be here in Bellingham July 9-12th. (I-5 exit #255. Look for MEMORIAL PARK. on James street) Bellingham recently tried to become a sanctuary for military deserters, but our 15000 veterans put their foot down and said NO WAY! it is so important we now show our support for our veterans. I encourage anyone in the Pacific Northwest to come to the wall and help us reclaim our town and put the pride of being American back where it should be.

another amazing day in the trenches, when things just become to much,i am feeling overwhelmed, you amaze me. i am fortunate to have an open door policy when in my office, my brothers find me. today i learned something about, this kind soul who stops by each day with some kind words or to shoot the "!!!!". some say he is an angry person, some judge him very wrong. he is one of my homeless veterans who asks for very little. at one time he was also a horse vet, i love it. he came to me looking for some basic items when he moves into his own place, (towles,sheets,pots and pans) knowing i was a person who did things like this. no problem my husban and i can downsize what we have, since i have tried to find resource in our community with not much luck. he has the most wonderful, sincere smile, loves to talk. today i learned not from the veteran he is a congressional medal of honor recepient. he gave so much and ask for very little, you amaze me, each of you.

To all of those individuals that served in the Vietnam War. I want to thank you for your service and sacrifice. You will never be forgotten. I was too young to serve in Vietnam. I joined the Army in 1976 at the age of 17. I lost a friend and a cousin over there. They were the reason I enlisted right out of high school. Their names are Early B. Grace, and Ronald Jackson. Both were from Cincinnati.

Thanks for the memories. I was assigned to the 605th Trans when it was formed at Ft. Riley in Sept 1965 and moved with them to Phu Loi, arriving in country in March '66. Serving in Phu Loi until March '67, when I was assigned to a temporary detachment at Long Bien in support of the 11th ACR as they arrived. On the 1st of April the 605th was transferred from the 765th BN to the 520th BN and the detachment in Long Bien was transferred to the 388th TC in Vung Tau. My Phu Loi days were over, but I continued in the aircraft parts business with the 388th and later with the 611th TC in My Tho until my discharge 17 Nov '67. Again, Thanks

//Ron McLemore

Thanks for a wonderful site and collection of personal stories. This is a tremendously valuable service to those of us who struggle with fading memories of our tour in Vietnam. It is especially important that we do everything in our power to remember and honor those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom we enjoy today in this great country. I arrived in Vietnam in October, 1965 with the 155th Aviation Company. Soon after, we were redesignated A Company, 1st Aviation Battalion, 1st Infantry Division at Phu Loi. I crewed a UH-1B gunship (tail number 64-13916 / call sign Rebel-36). Soon after I rotated out, on June 8, 1966, my gunship pilot, Major Phillip Holmes, Jr. was KIA while on convoy support on highway 13 near An Loc. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who served during that time and especially anyone who remembers Major Holmes.

I came to the 165th Trans.Co. of the 520th Trans.Bn. on January 6,1970 when the 165th was still at Bien Hoa. I made the move with the unit to Phu Loi I believe sometime around September 1970 and left country on December 19, 1970. I am trying to locate anyone that was with the 165th. I also know where a few people are. Check out my unit page at Military.com for the 165th Transportation Company (ADS) Bien Hoa / Phu Loi Vietnam. We are trying to find people to have a reunion.

merry christmas jim, another year passes, and so many memories cross my mind. my path continues with honor reaching out to our veterans, they continue to give more to me than i to them. i hope this finds you and your loved ones healthy and together. i will be driving a bus load of veterans to the zoo for the christmas lights and meal. this is such an emotional time for them, and it is important for those who work for our veterans to be there, to listen or just give a hug. hugs are powerful and they are free, what a concept. love to you and still hoping to meet someday.

Thank you Jim for adding my letter to your site. Everytime I drive onto a military base or I'm at an airport I stop to thank the person in uniform that they are always appreciated and I'm proud of him or her for keeping our nation free. When I'm in the px (or anywhere)I go out of my way to thank any military personel I see. It is an honor for me. It is humbling for me. You know Jim, in 2003/12/03 I finally accepted my medals just to be an example for my grandson. 33 years later. I was honored by the vets of many wars coming over to me, thanking me. It wasn't about me. It was about all of you honorable vets and that 6 year old grandson. AP, etc. interviewed him and I couldn't hold back a flood of tears. When I was asked to speak to the standing room only gathering, all that came out was "these medals do not belong to me, they belong to my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ". God bless you all, God bless America..Jim Pilkenton
