Hi Bear...
Do you ever remember going down in a chinook - really hard landing ?
Jack
Hi Mike..
I know you kept great records of our squad.. I was wondering if you had anything about the chinook we went down in hard landing and or that happened when ?

I wish I could make a reunion but I'm blessed if I make to the dinner table let alone fly somewhere. Walking is getting harder everyday and I'm glad I have Marine Corps Training just to go through old age.
I have to say that some of the very best Men I have ever met - were in Alpha Company 1966 - 1967.. I can't say that about other years but I'm guessing you'all are just as good as our tour..
God Bless all of us.. It was real.. Have a great re-union and many more .

hey Doc - Thank you for your call tonight. I thank God for my Brothers in Christ and my Brothers in the Corps - of which you are - USMC Doc. Thanks for being there for us in that War. semper fi and God Bless you Doc.
THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T HAVE A THOUGH OF VIETNAM - IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T HAVE A LIFE - I HAVE A FULL ONE - NOW AT 72 YEARS OLD - I FORGET NAMES BUT NOT FACES - I REMEBER HOW BRAVE THE MARINES WERE IN THOSE DAYS - I CAN'T WATCH ANY ARMY DOCUMENTRYS BECAUSE IT UPSETS ME TO SEE THE BLUNDERS THEY MAKE AND THE SAD WAY THEY FIGHT. WE WERE THERE TO DO A JOB AND MARINES DID REAL DIRTY WORK. OFF DAYS WE LIKED TO FIGHT TOO. GOD BLESS ALPHA COMPANY - THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE.. KEEP THIS SITE UP - GOOD WORK..
THIS IS A TOUGH BUNCH OF MARINES - FROM THE LEFT IS BROWN (KY) THEN YOU L.T. MULLINS (VA)- BERKHOUSER (PA) - JORDAN (MS) AND SEILER (PA)- ALL AT HILL 10 TRASH PIT SOME TIME IN THE SUMMER OF 67... DODGE CITY BOYS. JUST ABOUT THE ROUGHEST SHIT HOLE AROUND DANANG. WE HAD THE MOST KILLS AND THE MOST BEER OF ANY SQUAD IN ALPHA COMPANY- GUNS UP BROTHERS GUNS UP !
