I was in D co. from April 67- April68. I looked at the pictures on this site. I recognized Sgt Sloan and Pinapple. I was at Phouc Vinh and then convoyed to Quan Loi. It would be nice to be able to contact someone who was there when I was. Been along time ago.

Hi Mike!
I didn't get to know him because the dee dee'd to fast! I don't blame him a bit! I'd like to see the photos but am having some trouble getting to them. I'll keem trying though and sooner or later I'll find a way to view them. I AM NOT a good computer guy. The only way I get to use it at all is because my Son sets things up for me and turns me loose. The only problem is that now he's a AF 1st Lt Pilot and in Vance OK flying his T-1. That means he's not here helping Dad with his computer head aches. Oh well. I'll keep trying!
Good to hear from you

new guy from Co. D in Quan Loi

Hi Guys! I just found the place and thought I'd drop in. I was a 45B small arms repair guy in co. D from Aug 68 till about May of 69. I was pulled out of 701st and sent to Phu loi to work for Rebel gunships and went home on 12/24/69.
Quan Loi was a pit & Lai Khe wasn't a lot better. Phu Loi was pretty good because you hardly ever took any incoming. Not true at Lai Khe & Quan Loi.
Now I'm a semi retired GM worker that took the "buy-out" and left to start a new job. I went out and got my CDL and I'm starting out to drive diesel truck for a living until I retire.
All for now. I look forward to hearing and reading some of the stuff on the site.
