Hi ,Long time since the Nam (1967) .I was a machine gunner (weapons platoon). I joined Charlie Co in Okinawa in Nov 66.We sailed to the Phillippenes for BLT operations during the month of Feb.Our last landing was Operation Beacon Hill in the DMZ. It was pretty tough.We fought from Gio Lin to Con Thien. Their were many operations during the year.My last big one was Operation Granite. During my tour we lost good Marines but we kicked much NVA ass.To this day I don’t know how I survived. I guess it was the good Lord and good Marines around me. I think about it everyday(50years) but it seems like yesterday.God bless all who are still living.
Just read your Email. I was a corporal with Charlie Company. It was my 2nd tour in Nam. We we were operating around the mountains in, on or near the DMZ. We walked into an NVA ambush. I was struck twice by gunfire. As with you I live with those thoughts daily. Last year some 12 men in my squad had a small reunion in Vagas. What a great time. Stories were told that I had since forgot. But we have decided to meet every other year at some other part of the country. I would love to have some of your in country pictures since most of mine were lost in a empty returned sea bag. In advance- thanks for considering. Sgt. Jim Feagler USMC 1964-1969
Hi Greg, Glad you made it back, i came to C company july 67, i made it back as well. i use to live across the street from your sister in Germantown, I now live in Fort Worth, Tx
Hey Tom! I am in Venice, Florida. I hope to be going to the 2020 Reunion. I hope you can make it.
Hi Greg, I was the 2nd. squad leader of 1st. platoon from Nov. 66 till I rotated back stateside in Jun. of 67. Experienced many firefights, lead several ambushes and patrols. You may remember that on the morning of Good Friday (Mar. 24th.) I was returning to the lines with my squad from the previous nights ambush when we spotted the NVA lining up on the road to attack our company. Hell of a firefight that morning lasting three or four hours. I lost three fine Marines that morning. Later that day was when Lt. Housh was killed chasing after the bad guys. Then of course, we experienced Easter Sunday (Mar. 26th.) and its devastation. I lost another Marine in that fight.
I was the Corpsman when Lt. Housh was killed by a VC in a two ended hole in a rice paddy dyke Lcpl Hubbard was also killed! I remember Lt. Housh’s shot jammed and would not eject the shell . That was one my worst days in Vietnam. Lt. Housh was the best I was ever with.
I was so surprised to see this posting. I was with Lt. Housh when he was killed, also. I was a squad leader for awhile, then Thomas McGeever took over. I was in weapons platoon – rockets. Hope you are doing well.
I was with Lt. Housch when he was killed, too. I was squad leader for a while until Thomas McGeever took over. l was in weapons platoon. Housh was like a dad to us guys. I found out in recent years that Lt. Rumsey and his squad were up the hill from us and when we put up smoke, they came to get us. He was very sorry to see Housh was dead since they were very good friends. We keep in touch with Rumsey and several of other guys from 1/4. We went out to California for Lt. Diebert’s funeral a couple of years ago. You probably know these names.
I was there Larry Reed “Smoky” 3rd. Sq 3rd. PLT.
I was on Granite 2nd Plt. Charlie 1/4. Those mountains were a bitch.
My dad was there 66-67 he spoke little about this but I read your message and this is his people. He spoke of Beacon hill, Con Thien, Gio Lin. Thank you all for your service.
