What a generous Karma and please count me in.

This is my 50th anniversary, count 'em, 50 years, wholly crap, since sunny South East Asia.

9th Marine Amphibious Brigade, 5th Anti-tank Battallion, A co. 1st platoon attached to second Bn 7th Matine Rifle Regiment until somewhere in July and then rolled to 3rd Bn 26th Marines.

To Yanici: what ship(s) were you on. I was on the USS Ogden and then the Alamo, actually made an honest to goodness across-the-beach amphibious landing from the Alamo, no incoming though, that was later.

Warmest regards to brothers-in-arms from that shitty little war.

Please enter my stepfather Dave.

He flew RC-4's over Laos in 70-71. While he doesn't talk much about the time to my mother, he did successfully complete 200 photo recon missions w/o loss of plane or personnel.

He recently escaped from the People Democratic Republic of Kalifonia, and would most certainly be thrilled to earn such a karma!

Thank you for this great karma. I was at Danang AB, from 68 to 69. Sorry can't post pics from there as the slides got wet and destroyed.

My Dad's only brother, my Uncle Jack did a tour in Vietnam in what was probably 1970 or 71.

I was just a kid and don't remember exactly.

I would ask him but he was killed in 1979 while assisting a stranded motorist in a snowstorm. Some drunk ass ran over him on Parker Rd.

It would be an honor to be included in this amazing and generous Karma.

My dad’s unit was activated to go to Vietnam. While his unit was sent overseas his assignment took him to Kennedy to work on the Apollo rockets.

Yes, he did “technically” serve for Vietnam era and was in the VFW and got the bene’s for ‘Nam but,I would say, as I am sure he would, this is for the guys and girls that went over there.

Let me close by saying I will pass but, that is a great generously awesome Karma.
