On May 21, 23, 2010, at Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay WI, there will be a welcome home event for all Vietnam Era vets, families, friends. Go to the website LZ Lambeau. Vietnam Era vets get a free ticket, others are $10. This will be a huge event with a motorcycle ride from LaCrosse WI to Green Bay, and the Moving Wall will be on display, as well as bands and other events.
I went Army from 1965 to 1968, ended up stationed at the damn Pentagon in the US Army Special Security Group. I could tell you what type of work we did, but then I'd have to shoot you - - - -

My oldest Brother served two tours on the Enterprise flying SAR and is a member of the Bald Eagles Squadron. He also was on the National Tour for Inboard Hydros in a Ron Jones hull when not deployed.

Glad to read that, glad to be of service. WELCOME HOME BROTHER. P/M sent to ya, ya'll mite be surprized! :eek: I got talking to a Army guy many years ago that was in on the same very large Navy/Army op as I. Got a flash suppressor for the 50 from a PBR guy we were drinkin PBR :D we went to his boat he took it off the foward turret twins, mite be you or someone ya knew.

Did ya fly off tha LST support boats in tha River at one time? We were based on tha support YRB that they finally blew up. Glad they did is was a real pos. Didn't turn out so good though cause they sent us ta I corp and the Hue river. 31st. of Jan. thru Feb. '68 REALLY sucked on that river.
