Harvey "Pierce" Heath, 6th Engineers, Marine Reserve Unit, Portland, Ore. He served in Desert Storm, and just got back from "mountain training" near Tahoe. He's a stud, as all of you are. Some guys tuck their balls in their shorts...Marine's balls drag on the ground. I also have an in-law that serves in the Navy. Lt. Commander Tracy Vincent. He has served aboard the Teddy Roosevelt. I praise all who serve in the Military. I owe everything I have to those who risk their lives, so others can live in freedom. Semper Fi |

| What Unit Did You Serve With? | He served with the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines |
| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | My Father is 1st Sgt Louis J. Pellizzari, USMC. He was killed in the Province of Phu Loc, Vietnam on April 29, 1966, I believe just after operation "Jack Stay". I now know that he was killed when "The VC had mined a stream bed, and electronically detonated the charge from a hill a few hundred yards away."..."A hundred or more troops had already walked through that stream, dipping their helmets in the cool water as they passed. The charge was intentionally detonated only when the command group passed through the stream. Using binoculars, the VC either spotted Lt. Knute's bars shining in the sunlight, or the whip of the antenna on the radioman, but one way or another, they knew what they were doing."..."He died in an instant, while taking a drink. He did not suffer...He and Lt. Knute were dead center of the blast." The preliminary identification was made "by the tatoo on his left shoulder" (I,m leaving right now to go have the Marine Corp emblem tatooed on my lower back, in loving memory of my father). I've been told "He had the respect and the affection of his troops, everyone in between, and everyone above, too." (These quotes are from a letter written in 1986 by Bob Ritz, who, as a Corporal, served with my Father.) My Father died for what he believed in. The Corp, God, and Country. I find peace in that. It's as it should be, there was no other end. Thank you for your website. I feel the healing as I write, and realize this must be the purpose you proposed for it. Thank you, again, and God Bless You. Gratefully, Robin, Proud Daughter of a Marine! |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Great site - although I did take note that on one of your pages (didn't bookmark it) there was a blurb that stated "Sharon Stone" was the first female nurse KIA in RVN. Think someone may have seen a movie before writing that. 1st Lt. Sharon Ann Lane July 7, 1943 – June 8, 1969 Sharon Ann Lane was the only nurse in Vietnam to die under enemy attack. She was stationed at the 312th Evac Hospital at Chui Lai. To the west and south were American Marine bases, which often came under enemy mortar fire. On the morning of June 8, after coming off duty from caring for Viet Cong prisoners, she returned to her hut for a brief rest. A rocket, overshooting one of the nearby Marine bases, struck a metal supply shed next to her hut and exploded. Sharon died instantly from flying shrapnel. Though she joined the Army Nurse Corps in 1968, she had been in Vietnam for only two months when she was killed. In her home of Stark County, Ohio, a statue of Sharon was erected to honor the men and women who served in Vietnam. She was posthumously awarded the following medals: the Purple Heart the Bronze Star with a "V" for gallantry the National Defense Service Medal the Vietnam Service Medal the National Order of Vietnam Medal the (South) Vietnamese Gallantry Cross (with Palm) . Other service women died in Vietnam but only Sharon from Hostile fire. You might want to correct your write-up. |

We got shot down during an emergency resupply to D and I guess Time magazine was there. It was a real sh-- sandwich. You guys lost a lot of men that day. I knew that you only had one or two M-60's left so I took one off the chopper and thanked God for my grunt training while I was enlisted before I went to flight school. I still have a copy of the Time article of Sept 15, 1967 if anyone wants a copy. It is titled, "End of the Lull". |

Was attached to 1/5 at Camp Pendleton before Viet Nam but got there in 1965 with Operation Silver Lance and was in the last operation of Viet Nam. Spent 7 years attached with the Marines. Seems like so long ago but the memories of lost marines and Corpsmen are still strong. Too bad the politicians couldn't have been there with us- the war would have been much shorter. Good luck to our military now- I hope they have better luck than we did. Semper Fi from an old pecker-checker to you jar heads. Doc Connor HM1/USN/Ret |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Seems God wanted me to know and live with the best of the best and as the daughter, wife, sister-in-law and friend of numerous Marines, I have been blessed to be all of the above. I have no prophetic nor poetic words, I have sat for hours reading and absorbing the images on your site and I can only say to you that I am blessed for being a part of the 'family', wiser and yet still so confused after all these years as to why this country did so little for those who fought and paid with their blood, minds and lives to protect us here from the influences of other worlds and governments where people did not, still do not and probably never will know the true meaning of freedom. In light of the events of 9-11-01 I feel it's safe to say that this country has not only been shaken to her very core, but she is now beginning to understand what it is you all fought so hard to defend and uphold. Perhaps it isn't too late for America to wake up to the realities of the brutality of mankind and begin to take a good look at what it is we are truly blessed to have. My heartfelt thanks to you and all those who serve(d) this country in the many conflicts we have been involved in. You are an example to follow for you fought and defended us with honor, guts and glory and I for one, am a damned proud American who has known and lived with the BEST of the BEST. God Bless and Semper Fi and a very early Happy Birthday coming up! |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | To all Vietnam war veterans I salute you. Your sacrifice although sad was not in vain. Intelligence sources have indicated that the USSR didnt want to push on in south east asia after 1975 because of the rigorous fighting you men of honour put up in Vietnam. It was just sad that South Vietnam didnt develop into an economic powerhouse like the rest of democratic east asia. I will always salute the "Grunts" who fought in such great battles at Hue City Khe San and the DMZ. SEMPER FI!!! |

Yes Grapic Pictures but we were warned, we need be reminded that these men and women who served in Vietnam need be remembered for serving their country and seeking out to accomplish the right thing. Keep up the good work, and God Bless America and we need to support our leaders! Most of all I hope America locates and destroys Osama and his troop of idiots and dont forget to take out Sadam Hussein as well. GOD BLESS AMERICA |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Although I live in Canada, I have always wanted to be a Marine. My plan is after I graduate, I want to move down to the states a become a Marine. I have an uncle who was in Vietnam, he had a video camera instead of a camera, he showed me lots of videos, he has about a good 5 or 6 hours of it. What I saw were a lot of helicopter rides into LZ's and they would encounter heavy resistance, and then the camera would stop, then it would start back up showing you either back in a helicopter, or looking at all the dead VC bodies. I'm not a psycho, or a weird kid, its just I have always wanted to do my part in a war, I would die for my country or the U.S.A., I am 15 right now, and I wish I could have been in Vietnam, but I can't, I know it sounds crazy. Since the attacks on America with the world trade centers and the pentagon, I have been wanting to join the army to do my part, and I encourage every one to join their military to do their part, cause I know I am. My sympathy goes out to the family's who lost their son or daughter, brother, sister, in Vietnam and The world trade centers and the pentagon. And I sure hope we get the bastard responsible for these action and he should be put to justice. |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | I have been to this web site many times to read the pieces of email and the experiences that you guys have gone through in Vietnam. My father is Thomas A. Zwetow and served with many in Vietnam. I never asked him how it was over there and would never ask any of you to do that if I met you. I believe if that if it was meant to say, you would say it on your own. I was brought up as a patriot and I always dreamed of following in my father's footsteps, joining the Marines. In 1992 I tried to join the U.S. forces and was declined due to a fast heartbeat. This was time in '92, and still is until now, that the military was a chance to get help to go to college. I was not in it for the college benefits, as many were but I was not. I was there to do what my dad and all of you were in it for. I tried but got denied. In the last few days after the suicide bombings, I felt very angry and discusted. I have a very good job and make good money. I would trade every penny I have to join the WAR that is going to happen. God bless you, God bless the U.S., and God bless the Marines. |

I have been fortunate enough to have Nicholas Warr, 1/5"C", who wrote "Phaseline Green", give me technical advice on the conditions and surroundings in the Citadel itself. His book was quite explicite, however I needed photographic references. Your site has helped out immensely. I do military miniatures and accuracy is critical in order to honor those who were there. Nick has been quite helpful but I need more close-ups of the tower which you boys in "D" had to tackle. This is one way I can express my thanks to those who went when called. Sorry, I was only 6 when "it" hit the fan. Thanks for your site and please E me with tower photos or any close up of Phaseline Green that may be available. Ski. |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Back in 64, I started and ended every day with a prayer for every VET to be kept safe and to be Blessed by God above-I have said this same prayer for the past 37 years. Once a week I pay my respects to every VET by going on the internet with my 2 granddaughters - age 5 and 9. I never want to forget, and I want the girls to know, the price each VET and his/her family paid to keep us strong and free. It is also the only way I can tell my girls about their great uncle, Bob, who lives each day with PTSD. He is unable to bring himself to be around people and has never met the girls but they are so very proud of him and tell their friends of him. |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Hello Q Just checking in one more time! This page is getting better and better can not thank you enough for this great work. As you know many of us served in VN with honor and with a sense of patriotism we can be very proud of what we did. Lots of years have gone by and the Memory of the best outfit and best fighting men in the world remains in my heart. However I would like to see if you can attach a file of all our fallen heroes. I think that we all need to look up some names of friends and loved ones to insure peace in our minds and harts,if its possible if not thanx the same. Marco Rojas/Old breed Semper Fidelis |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Just wanted to say hi and see if there was anyone I knew. I was wounded 1/5/68 in a routine mine sweep down Route 1 from our Outpost in Phu Loc. Shortly after that 1/5 went to Hue. Thinking back I was lucky, but somehow I feel like I cheated the guys who didn't make it through Hue, especially my good friends Roy Swed who died on those streets, and L/Cpl Fergusen (I don't remember his first name)who died at "the point" just north of our outpost. Love all you guys....Found their names on the wall a few years ago along with many others.... |

| Comments,Praises,Gripes, What's On your mind? | Several months ago I was contacted by one of the guys in D-2-11 about haveing a reunion. I had not spoken to anyone from that time in 35 years and to say it was strange is an understatement. A lot different emotions I hadn't felt in years came back. I had just lost one of my best friends I had grown up with as only we can understand. We grew up together, joined the corps together, served in Nam at the same time, fortunately in different outfits because we would each gotten killed looking out for each other. We got out and went to college and saved each other's sanity with long, long talks. I guess I'm rambling. The point I'm makeing is I'm now looking forward to seeing everyone from the old outfit. To be around guys and not have to talk but to understand with just a look. I know what you're thinking, what you're feeling becaus I've been there. Your web site has helped me see I'm not alone. Tks.
