I have been trying to find members of my unit. I was stationed in Long Binh with the 524th sig. det. I worked out of Central Locator at the field depot in 1968. I'm sorry I can't remember all your names, just L-tee, Jim Rodgers,and James Taylor.

I wouldn't go back to do it again. We were sent to battle without any chance of winning. Sure we never lost a major battle, but we lost the war and 55,000 guys died for nothing because the White House didn't want a military victory. They wanted a political settlement. So civilians got killed. Innocent ones at that. So what? That's war. Win the war, then you can help whoever you want. Don't go to war unless you intend to win.

I was a member of Radio Relay and Construction Company, 7th Communications Battalion, 1st Marine Division from May 1967 to August 1969. I had the best of friends there, never to forget. The very best was Larry Zeutenhorst (Zeut) of Iowa, who passed away 10 years ago....maybe from things that happened in Vietnam. In Vietnam it seemed the bad things happened fast and suddenly and were over soon....always leaving someone hurt. Time passed slowly but it was never boring. Christmas hurt (I spent two there). After I was back, those here (many) were not understanding and often disrespectful ....and pointing blame and harsh comments to those who served. While going to school some others were resentful for the GI Bill education assistance....like we did not earn it. But most Vietnam veterans did not ask to go....those who enlisted did so often under the expection of induction. Nevertheless for me it was a journey that defined my life. I would go back and do it again in a flash.
