Vets With A Mission Guest Book

This one may seem strange to some, but familiar to alot of soldiers and sailors from the Vietnam era. My Father served aboard the USS Chicago (CG-11) leaving port 13 May 1972 for Vietnam. During such time, his new bride (married 4 Jan. 1972) that he had only known since B- School (23 Aug. 1971- 25 Feb 1972) became pregnant while she was stationed at her post at one of Vellejo's Military Hospitals in July of 1972. My father did not return from his Sea Tour until late Aug- early Sept. His leave logs show he did not take any leave until September 1972 and then only 5 days. He took no other leave of duties until around the time my older brother was born, a full term child in April of 1973.

My mother's name was Sandra "Sandy" Boyd-Bancroft, and she was a Corpman in Vallejo, CA. She was 5'8" and curly brown hair with red highlights, and beautiful blue eyes. She hailed from Kansas, and played the innocent Kansas girl in the big City, real well. She was having trouble with the Head nurse, but found a friend in a soldier that came back without his lower legs. *she spoke of him and the Head Doctor Often which leads me to believe they May know who my brother's father is*

If anyone knows her, please contact me ASAP. My mother has not really been the most truthful of people so to speak, and my brother is really messed up, and I am trying to help him. My father, Richard loved him as if he were his own, but Sandra destroyed that for some reason. Please contact me!

I WAS ONE OF THE FRIST TO LAND AT DUC PHO, FEB. 1967 3BDE 25TH INF, WAS THERE TILL JAN. 23, 1968.

I was there in 66/67 with B Trp 1/10 Cav. We built
base camp at tittie mtn. and then ran road patrol,
convoy escort and reactionary force. I have been
back in 2001 and 2006. We are planing on another
trip next year. I served with a great bunch of guys.
We loved each other and took care of each other.
I went back to Pleiku base camp and to
DaLat and Kontoom, you would'nt believe how much it has changed, and yet its still the same.
The Vietnam war was the most honorable
conflict we have been involved in lately. I'm
proud I served. It bothers me that we just gave up.
The vietnamese people still love us. The commies
were pretty hard on them. I still get ill at people
that were cowards and refused to serve saying
history proved them right. They are still cowards,
that is what history has proved. Sorry; I will get
off the grandstand. Welcome home guys. I hope
life has been as good to you as it was to me.
