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. |

| 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 |

Our group started to move up to Phu Loi (spring of '70?? not sure)when it was attacked and the shop we were to move into was rocketed and the move cancelled. I felt pretty lucky to get back near the beach and away from the red dust and other unpleasant things. It was great to see your photo gallery. The rocket damage pictures are just as I remember but may have been a different time. I wish I could remember when that move was. Thanks for sharing your pictures and bringing back memories.
