How many Viet Nam vets

[rick_debbie_gallant]

I have been wondering this for a while now and perhaps you Vietnam Vets who belong to the Heartland Owners club will help me determine this. Just kinda wanted to know how many of us are out there with past service in Viet Nam, what unit and where locatedffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I don't talk much about Viet Nam but I'm very proud to have been there to serve our Country.

God Bless and thank you to all our men and women that have served and are serving in our armed forces.

Spent my tour near Phu Bai with the Army Security Agency. My oldest son was six days old when I left, a year and six days when I returned.

As an Army wife for the past 27 years I can't express enough how much I appreciate the sacrifices those of you serving during the Vietnam era went through. We have experienced several deployment during my husbands service but I don't think any of them measure up to what you all went through.

Bless you!

I served with the 119th Trans. Co. (Army), 08/67 - 08/68 at Vung Ro, on the coast, where we unloaded supplies from cargo ships, while I ran the parts room in the motorpool. Had my share of Agent Orange sprayed on me while traveling to Tuy Hoa sub-area to pickup parts and supplies. Now I'm paying the price.

US Navy 62-66 USS McMorris DE1036. Not in country (never stepped on land). Patrolled coastal waters for Contraband.

I made no sacrifice. Those that died and those that were wounded are the ones that made the sacrifices. I stand and salute them..

As others have said, Thank You all for your service to our Country, then and now. I spent 6 years in the Navy from 66 to 72 but never received orders for Nam. In a way, I miss that feeling of camaraderie associated with the Viet Nam Veterans but on the other side of that, I'm thankful that I'm in one piece today.

I don't talk about it much but this weekend I've been on the computer looking to see whats on it. I'm very fortunate in many ways in comparison to my friends who served in Vietnam.

I would like to expand this thread to extend it to all Viet Nam era vets as many of us served in other areas in support of those who were actually in Nam. Those in the rear areas are often the forgotten ones.
