Comments:	To All, Happy Veterans Day. This is my story, I went to Home Depot last Saturday,10/23/2011 to purchase a pallet of wood pellets for the upcoming heating season, when I showed my VA ID Card that I have used in the past to receive the 10% Veterans Discount, the Cashier would not accept it because it did not have Service Connected Printed on it. This is Home Depots Policy now, to get a Discount,you must have a valid Retiree or Active Duty Military ID Card or the VA Card with Service Connected on it. Even on the Veteran Holidays, you need those types of ID'S according to their Policy that they E-Mailed to me after I told them I was disappointed with this Policy. It took me two E-Mails to get a response from them and when I voiced my opinion for the 3rd time, they never responded back as of today. I contacted Lowe's and received their Policy the next day and they give the Discounts all year long on either type of VA ID Cards. On Veteran Holidays, if you do not have a VA Card or a Military ID, Active or Retired, all you need is a copy of your DD-214 to get the Discount. What I am asking is that Veterans take their businees somewhere else this Veteran"s Day and Boycott Home Depot. Thank You, Jim

Up until a few short years ago, I had not had any contact with anyone from the 59th since I left country on Sep 21, 1971. I was honored to be your company clerk starting in July 1970 as you dragged me from Quan Tri to Phu Bai to Chu Lai and finally to Da Nang. I have never made a reunion, but am planning to attend in Washington DC in September. Thanks to all who have put this shindig together. Can't wait to see you all.

With my luddistic attitude apropos computers , I've found nothing about him or his A.O. . For reasons not completely clear , I have been visiting his grave site (roughly 200m from our home) for over ten years , this on a fairly regular basis . I suppose that I may have inadvertently missed data , but ... . His name was Boyd Shook , and all that I know is that he he was awarded the B.S.M. after his death , age 18 years . Thanks 2 all who served ! w

Comments:	I was in Nam 68-69 and was a Spec 5 dozer operator. There was an operation I was sent to, I believe it was north of Cua- Viet. Our mission was to go with an armoured company to Ba Long valley. Went up river by boat. After joining the tank company, we traveled a day and a 59th Rome Plow and operator joined us. I believe he was a Spec6! I did not know there could be such a thing. I talked to him briefly but we had to get to work to bury the armor for the evening. We were on a duckbill point overlooking the river when as he was pushing dirt up to the last tank, he got hit by a rocket from across the river. It was powerful enough to punch holes through the blade, radiator shroud,top of the dash, and top of the fuel tank.He was hurt very bad as some of the shrapnell got him as well ... It took a while for dustoff because the tanks artilery and jets burned out about 5to 10 acres of jungle on the other side of the river. I never got to know who he was. I think he was still alive when they took him away ...Inever heard whether he made it or not! Could someone tell me? I think about this often,, Would sure like to knouw... You guys sure did bushwhack some Land!!! I wish I could have been with you more often.

When I first made contact with Tim and all of you, I never knew this would get so big. All I ever wanted when I began this was to give you men a chance to reunite and hopefully to begin a healing process and to let you know that regardless of how you were treated when you can home and most likely still are today that at least someone thinks of you and appreciates your sacrifice. Plus I can't complain about all of the hugs I got in Texas...{BIG SMILE!}. May God Keep you, Hazel

Comments:	I severed in Vietnam from Jan 69 to 3 Mar 70. I was an Rome Plow Operator most of my tour. I had an accident and hurt my right leg so I drove the fuel truck for a couple months then back on the plow until two days prior departing Vietnam. I ETSed and stayed out for about a year and then returned to the military. I stayed for 26 years before retiring as a Combat Engineer with the rank of Sergeant Major. I think about Vietnam daily and the Soldiers I served with. No matter how many times you talk about Land Clearing or the Rome Plows the veterans know what you did and how hard everyone worked. In this Soldier’s opinion YOU are HEROs.

Comments:	I served with C Btry 5th Bn 4th Arty on FSB C-2 as the Fire Direction Officer and then as the Battery XO from Sept. 1969 until Sept. 1970. In November, 1969 the NVA crossed the DMZ in large numbers and C-2 and A-4 (Con Thien) were taking incoming 120mm rockets daily. Our Bn HQ at Quang Tri told us that we could expect a ground attack on C-2 and A-4. A unit from the 59th was brought in to clear the land to the west; northwest; and north of C-2. Your unit performed the land clearing in an outstanding maner. Due to your land clearing work the NVA did not have the ground cover that would have allowed them to advance undetected to the wire at C-2. Thus the NVA cancelled the ground attack C-2 and A-4. Thank you for a job well done and Welcome Home!!

Comments:	I have been trying to find info on a mine sweeper who was with your outfit while my unit,(1/6th,198th) supplied defensive support while doing land clearing in the Mai Lai and Bantangan Penninsula areas. This sweeper was not with you guys long and I remember he had glasses. It had to be around June or July of 1970, He stepped on a mine and I administered first aid to him until a medivac arrived. I knew he was in very bad shape, but they never told me if he made it. If anyone recalls this incident, please let me know. It haunts me to this day that I never have been able to know if he made it or not. Thank You all you guys for the job you did.

When we were growing up our family was not close and now that we are all grown we are trying to get closer. I love my brother and am so proud of all that he has done. He truely is a Great American. Just remember to stay in touch with your family and hold on to all the memories you can because life truely is short. Everyone grows up to fast and gets involved in their own lives. Don't forget your family they are what counts.

Comments:	HI, My father, Lacy Simpson served only a short time. It just took two short months for him to step on a land mine. July 10, 1970. I thank Tim so much for giving me some details on what happened that day. I was only 6 at the time. Daddy was an "old" man when it happened, he was 40 at the time. Tim said he was there that day and they always wondered what happened to Daddy. Daddy has lived a great life. He lost both legs above the knee, two fingers on his right hand and damaged both ear drums. He has fished, hunted, drove trucks, vans, tractors, 4 wheelers, raised a garden, dug fence posts, drank and smoked. He has some health issues over the past 10 years and has bounced back 100 percent every time. He even lives by himself now. I do not remember him anyother way and to me it was an eye opener when I met Tim. It made me completely understand how special my father is. Please if you remember him, give me the stories; good and bad. THANK you to all that served. Ellen S. Childress

Comments:	If anyone remembers a volleyball game with some Cobra pilots in DaNang, in Sept. 1971, please drop me a line. I injured my right knee and got no treatment, but a couple of days of light duty. I know it isn't exactly a noble war wound, but I've had 9 operations since, including 2 artificial knees. Naturally the VA denied my claim. Most of the guys I was tight with had already gone home, and frankly I can't remember the roster of players in a pickup volleyball game 37 years ago. Sorry for the bitchin'. Hope y'all do well and that you and yours don't have to wrestle with the VA (though I know many have had it far worse than me). Red
