I revisited Vietnam for two weeks in March. We spent 2-3 days along Rt.9, from Dong Ha to Khe Sanh Village.
We climbed both Hill 881 South and Hill 861. If anyone wants photos, drop me an email.

Branch of Service or Civilian: U.S. Marine Corps dependant daughter

Unit Served in Viet Nam, If Any: Khe-Sanh-Tet Offensive 1967-68

Comments:
I am the daughter of Gunny Beckemeyer; if I may I would like to ascertain his cause of death in May, 1994: After my Dad returned to the states in 1968, I was then a 13 yr,old girl, the eldest of my six (6) siblings; altho a relatively young man, Viet-Nam had ravished my father, he only had another 18 months to go until his 20-year retirement. Dad always had a strict work ethics code; before he retired he obtained training from the USMC to become a long-distance truck driver. He relished this new career thru-out the rest of his life; gaining many safety awards and logging in way too many miles for "the flying dutch-man"!
dad died from lung cancer in 1994--he was only 62 yrs old. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss and yearn for his caustic wit & humor. If anyone of you fine gents out there can recall any details about "Gunny Becks" please feel free to share them with me. Sincerely, Monicalfreeman@gmail.com

Branch of Service or Civilian: US Army - Artillery

Unit Served in Viet Nam, If Any: 2nd Bn 94th Artillery 175mm guns

Comments:
Not sure how to go about this...(?)

Hopefully, Tom, John or Jim Wodecki will provide guidance...

There's an opportunity to get Khe Sanh Vets added to the list of unit options that can be "specialized" on the CA Veteran License Plate...

        http://www.cacvso.org/Contentpage.asp?ContentID=170


What I'm looking for is at least 9 other guys (or at least 9 other cars) that are interested in having CA Veteran License Plates with a specific Khe Sanh Vet designation*

* which begs the ?, whom would we appeal to "for permission for the CA DMV to use the logo"...?

I assume that's some combination of Tom, John and the Board of Directors.. ; but if not, whom...?

FTR, CA Veteran's License Plates are $30, or $40 if personalized...
(no extra fee for unit designation)


Thanx for your guidance (even if the answer is "No")


Bear


ps : The reason I'm looking into this,
is that my '67 Green Mustang fastback [think Bullitt],
that I bought upon my return from being medevac'd is about to rise like The Phoenix !
(New engine, new brakes, new tranny, roll bar, 5-spoke mags, etc)
and I need an appropriate set-o-plates !
from that very special time in my life...
... and ifff I can't find 9 other guys in CA from 2/94,
then Khe Sanh would be my 2nd choice...
(as US Army is too generic... [especially since they ignored us] ;
and I wouldn't feel right with 3rd Marine plates - even though we were detached to them and I went on patrol with various 3rd Marine units for 9 months until getting medevac'd)

FWIW, even iffff I can find 9 other 2/94 guys,
I'd be happy to help get KSV designated, if you would like...
