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.

12131 - thank you for the very generous Karma. Please do not include me (RVN 1970-71, 101st Airborne/Airmobile) but I want to acknowledge your generosity and your appreciation for those that served.

My best to you!

I don't qualify to enter but Q, your Karmas are AWESOME.

Congratulations to the lucky winner.

Spent my year moving around III CTZ with 54th Artillery Group. 155 self-propelled howitzers, later with a battery of 8 inch and 175 SP guns. Thanks for the thoughtful karma.

My Pops was there. He got this published just a few years back.

Please do not enter me. I lost a cousin there; I will tell his family of your kind gesture.

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!

I was lucky enough to have two(2) paid vacations to Vietnam. Please include me, and thanx!!

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.

Your generosity is amazing!

Thank you for this opportunity!

Served at Bien Hoa, AFB 1969-1970.
3rd Field Maintenance Squadron, PACAF

I didn't serve, but I wanted to say I think what you're doing is GREAT, 12131! Thanks to all of our vets!

Please Don't include me. What an amazingly generous gesture to those who served in this war!
Great looking P228!

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.

You posted this before and I got it and read it. Pretty cool memoir, pretty uncool day at work. thank your dad for me.

I'm not a Vietnam vet, almost every conflict since, but I just want to say that you are a very generous man. It is amazing that you do this. Good luck to all you Vietnam vets, you deserve this!

I just bought the book, please thank him for his service, and thank all of you that served.

Amazing 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.

Awesome Karma. Please do not include me as I serviced & monitored satellite communications during the Persian Gulf War. Just wanted to say thank you for your generosity and thanks to all who served.

Thank you for this generous karma. My dad flew KC-135s in Vietnam until he was killed on a mission in 1968.

Thanks Q, this one I've got to enter. It's a 228 after all Central Highlands RVN, 1969. TC 1/69 Armor.
