I am a Vietnam era veteran and am proud to have served. I was stationed on Guam with the Air Force during much of the Vietnam War, 1966, 1968 and 1973 – 1976. The U.S. Air Force was flying almost constant bombing missions on Vietnam from Andersen AFB on Guam while I was there.

I wasn’t a bomber pilot, not everyone in the Air Force flys planes. LOL. I was a media guy. For one thing, I escorted the news people while 121,000 Vietnamese refugees were processed into the US through Guam when Saigon was evacuated.
 

I have a lot of respect for those that served “in-country” and lost some of my friends and classmates there. My high school chess partner lost his life right after his 20th birthday. The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio’s and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.

• First click on a state.
• When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear.
• Then click on their names.
• It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and
  medals.

This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it. I hope that everyone who visits the site appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.

For my comrades-in-arms, I am here to answer questions and help in any way that I can. If I can help with a loan fine, but if you want to just talk, that is fine too. There are few things that will bring people closer together than service to country. I applaud those that have and are doing so. Take a look at the site, it is really something. If you saw “Good Morning Vietnam,” I had a similar job on Guam, editing the base newspaper. This clip should be a reminder of those who served there:

The following song always brings memories of of my time on Guam. Enjoy!
