The Association over the many years sponsers the 7th US Cav Regiments Band, "GARRYOWEN PIPES AND DRUMS" The Band played the Bagpipes and wore Tartans, (kilts) during the years 1954-1973. Someone banned the band, now we are looking for those old pipes drums and kilts, along with color photo's of the Band. Contact: 7th US CAV ASSOCIATION (GARRYOWEN)

Purpose: recognition, nostalgia, exchange of information, war stories.

Here is a list of individuals I would like to either contact or know their whereabouts: SFC Robert (L.or G.) Carney - DROS, June 68; SSG John Rozelle (home town, Columbus OH) - DROS, May 68; Sp4 Steve Gallant, DROS, March 68; John P. Packanowski, Captain, MC DROS, September 68; SSG James Green, DROS June 67; Sp5 Harry Nelson, DROS, July 67; SFC Richard C. Mills, DROS, June 67; and, a doctor (internist) from Chicago - _ Chmiel, Captain, MC.

It just might be time to go back to An Khe, reflect upon the past, see the old French villa that server as our hospital, and take a ride from Pleiku to Qui Nhon.

A search of the ground site would have been delayed even longer had it not been for the singular efforts of an Army Special Forces Captain who insisted that his four-man team be inserted to comb the wreckage. It was this Captain's nagging discomfort at the possibility of survivors that motivated him to repeatedly request permission for his team to launch, despite the Army's equal persistence in denying his requests. Thanks to God, and this special, yet still anonymous individual, Fred, it turns out, was saved by the same kind of courage, devotion, and tenacity evident in his own character. Even Medevac pilots got a break once in a while.

When I was a student at Manhattan College (Riverdale, New York City), I knew Tom McCarthy. That was between 1960 and 1964. Since then we have lost contact, and I would like to try to look him up again.

Tom came from Yonkers, New York. I know that at some point Tom went to Vietnam as a paramedic (or some such function).

If you might know of his whereabouts, or can give me some further leads, I would be very grateful if you could pass the information to me.

One possible lead may be the Manhattan College Alumni Association, but I do not know an e-mail address for that organization. If you can help me with this, I will try there.

I am especially looking for members of the signal maintenance team.

I have written to church ministers in Ayer, Ma, but nobody had heard of his family. If you can help me get in touch with the family, I would deeply appreciate it.

Thank you

I have retroactive amnesia and no not know what happened to me. I am desperately seeking anyone who might know me, or know about that incident.

At that time he was a PFC. I checked the wall and his name is not listed there so I don't know if that means anything. I think the last time they heard anything about him he was listed MIA. One last thing, he was from Canada, somewhere in Quebec maybe Montreal.

We had a lady that worked with us and her dad was mayor of Bao Loc. She graduated from Berkeley and was a special person. because of her insights into viet nam and people not involved in the black market, because through her eyes the people she introduced many of us to wanted their freedom so bad they could taste it.

There was a young boy named Hoi who worked in the personnel dept. too that I often wonder if he got out, is there any way to check on these things?

I am trying to locate anyone who knew or served with my father, SSgt. Thomas H. Botts, who was assigned to MACV or MACVSOG and was killed in transit back to the world on Sep. 4, 1965 @ Ben Hoa.

I'm trying to locate Richard Meyers from Florida.
Richard was crew member on (I believe) a Chinook in VN. While engaged on a Medivac mission his aircraft was shot down. He was I believe the sole survivor, suffering severe injury. I think he served in the USN.

He must be about 48 years old. I think he came from Fort Lauderdale. HIs father was of german origin.

Richard married a Scots girl in about 1980.

We worked together in Saudi Arabia at the King Fiasal Hospital Riyadh. He worked in the Cardiac Dept. I was a senior security officer.

Grateful for any help. Please Contact:

I am a Vietnam war widow currently working on my dissertation. The topic is about the women who lost their husbands in RVN. My study is the case histories of these women..their stories, experience, how they dealth with it then, how it has effected thier lives and families, the meaning they made of the war and their husband's death at the time and the meaning they give it now.

Of the current literature, there are approximately 6 articles that cover the topic of war widows, these can be found in 1 Israli journal published in 1982. There are approximately 20,000 Vietnam war widows (no one seems to know for sure)If you would be willing to participate in this project please contact me.
