I was stationed in Qui Nhon with the 540 Trans Co (Avionics) in 1966. Made many trips to the port to pick up equipment. The port seemed to be a muddy mess at all times. Great site and pictures. God Bless our Veterans and God Bless America.

Let's talk.

i was at long ben 66 67 co b

I was stationed at Da Nang in 1965 with VMFA 542 (Fighting Tigers) and in 1966 with VMFA 314 (Black Knights). I was an Aviation Fire Control Technician working on F4Bs. The longest and hardest days there were during Operation Starlite when the flares at night kept the skies brighter than daylight.
We left El Toro California on a training mission to San Clemente Island by LSD USS Alamo March of 1965. Ten days later we were still heading west when our CO opened sealed orders that said we were going to NAS Atsugi where we were to wait for our aircraft to arrive, prepare them for deployment and the get on LST USS Vernon County for deployment to Da Nang Vietnam. At the time none of had a clue as to where Vietnam was so we prepared for war as best we could. Those two years of my life showed me mans inhumanity to man close up and has changed me forever. I have since then been an anti-war activist and basically a constant pain in the ass to several of my politician friends. I will write more later after I take the time to review my memoirs I have written for my kids.

My dad, Jack Wills, served with the Marine Corp in Vietnam from 1967 - 1969. He has recently decided to seek help at the VA. He stated that he was getting to old and has become unable to fight the war in his heart any longer. He gave me a flag and seems to be looking for someone who recognizes it. It is solid black with a skull and crossbone and we he talks about it he refers to Paradees pirates . (I am uncertain as to the spelling. If anyone out there knows about the flag please contact me at silvertreefrog@hotmail.com. Thanks you.

also forgot to say that recoiless rifile,that you showed on crows nest was their way before 1968,like i stated in my last submission we were soliders from 3rd bn 1st marines mike co.many days we climbed crows nest to talk to the marines that were stationed up their,you said they needed ropes to climb up their?we climbed up their with no ropes it was a steep climb,but we didnt need ropes,the only danger that was climbing that mountain were the booby traps the vc would put out their,like short fused granades''''''''''you would trip them as you walked through the brush up their,you had to be very careful.

nice pictures,i was stationed with 3rd bn 1st marines on marbel mountains in october 1966,we were there for a few months just outside the village of nui kim son,then we moved 8 miles down the msr road .crows nest was the other mountain,we had a 106 recoiless rifile on the top of crows nest,also there was hill 10 just across from crows nest,that i spent 4 months on,the china sea was to our backs and a airforce compound was next to us also.it was good to see these pictures again,many days i walked through the tempel and never realized there were vc in the tempel of marbel mountains,you realize that i was one of the first to set up camp near marbel mountain this was early october of 66 and the war was just really getting started.
