Like my fellow Marines on this list, I served with the Best of the Best 1967-68. There is much I could write... but the following by President Theodore Roosevelt said it all:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

God bless us all!

Served August 1968 to April 1969.  I have fond memories of my unit while in Nam from August 1968 to April 1969.  The one individual who stands out most to me is Sgt. Blunt who was my squad leader.  One September 30, 1968 I was shot in an ambush.  Being a radio operator, I was an obvious first target.  Sgt. Blunt, knowing we were under fire, told me to get up and get going, not realizing I was just shot!!!   I can't say enough for the individuals who came to assist me under serious enemy fire!!  Brothers forever!!!  I currently serve as Division Administrator for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in Missouri.

I am selling residential real estate in the Research Triangle Park area of central North Carolina. I am looking forward to the F/2/5 reunion in San Diego this summer.

Added 11Nov04
Oorah Devil Dogs,

What a reunion!  It was successful in so many ways: old friends and new ones having a good time for three (plus) days; great sponsorship and hotel (thanks, Donna and Sam Henderson); and fine progress on Fox’s book, Battlelines. 

 

I’m writing to profusely thank all the men who so willingly helped Tiffany and I with the book.  We covered all eras of the war in which Fox participated, less 1970-71 which we’ll address at the start of 2005.  Tiffany and I interviewed various sets of Marines in 5 four-hour sessions.  I can now assure you that we have 90% of the material we need.  I am hoping that we are finished writing and editing the history of Fox by next February or March.  By that point we’ll merely have the publisher to deal with.  Bottom line is: if the book isn’t available for you to read in June, I am going to be mighty upset.

 

For more on the book, look at the web site: www.battlelinesbook.com.  There you fin comments made by various folks who had been given an early draft about the July 1968-January 1969 era.  (That’s the time I was with Fox.  I did that first to gain the feel of writing a historical fiction.)  Tiffany does the heavy editing--in some cases rewriting.  I have sent drafts copies of chapters to others who served in the same era to insure the storyline is valid.  So we’re moving along.   Updated 11Nov04

Bullock, Dan

Dear 2/5,
My name is Franklin D. McArthur Jr, and I am the Founder and President of the Pfc. Dan Bullock Foundation, Inc. Pfc Bullock 15, was the youngest American Serviceman killed in the Vietnam War. He was only 14 years old when we graduated from boot camp on December 10, 1968. According to pentagon officials he may be the youngest KIA since World War I. I founded the Bullock Foundation because we were friends, and I wanted to try to correct a miscarriage of justice. Pfc. Dan Bullock lied about his age to enlist, and everyone seem to be more concerned about him lying than dying. But that does not change the facts, and the facts is, he was a United States Marine, and he was killed fighting for this country. Even now 30 years after his death, his official birthday is still being published as December 21, 1949. After he was killed on June 7, 1969, his real birth date which was December 21, 1953 was exposed to the public (ref: New York Times, June 13, 1969, Page 1, Col. 7). I've petitioned the Commandant, Congress and the President to award him the MOH. The Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee to award him a Commemorative Stamp. I submitted a proposal to the Great Blacks in Wax Museum, to erect a wax figure. Mr Steve Piscitelli, noted sculpture and former member of Fox 2/5, will be sculpturing a bronze statue. The Pfc. Dan Bullock Foundation, Inc is in need of financial support, any financial support or other assistance you can give will be greatly appreciated. For further information contact my website at: www.warhero-t-shirts.com or call 1-856-802-6592.

(Webmaster note: the above info is as received through the 2/5 submission form. I have not checked out the website mentioned yet.)

I joined F 2/5 at Hai Van Pass in July 1968 after having served with H & S Company for seven months guarding the squids of the First Medical Battalion stationed outside of DaNang and later Phu Bai.

My tour of Viet-Nam was ended 6Aug68 outside of An Hoa thanks to a napalm attack by an F-4 Phantom on the second platoon. Upon returning to the states, I received my medical attention at the Naval Hospital in Philadelphia. After my release from the hospital I was stationed with the Marine Guard Detail at the U.S. Naval Base in Philadelphia until I was retired with a 70% disability in March 1969.  

I now enjoy my retirement living on our 14 acre homestead in the mountains of western Pennsylvania with my wife of 26 years, Barbara, and our eighteen year old twins, Penelope and Zachary.

My wife works at Saint Francis University where she is the Library IT Coordinator. I am employed as a photojournalist for the Star-Courier, part of Mainline Newspapers.

Dull, Don 

I served in China at the time of the Communist take over in 1946.  I was in the 1st MP co. 1st Mar. Div in Tientsin.  In 1947 most of the division was shipped to Guam to avoid further hostilities with the Commies.  I was assigned to F/2/5 First Marine Brigade.  The Division was downgraded to a Brigade at that time, not to regain Division status until the Korean War.  The service on Guam was quite mundane.  The towns, Agana and the like, were out of bounds.  Spent most of our time at the Company's slop chute, feeling sorry for ourselves and drinking that ten cent 3/2 beer.  The beer was bad, but the company was good.

I was a Corpsman with Fox 2/5 and proud of my service with the Marine Corps, 1966-1967 thanks...Semper Fidelis.  Went back to school after discharge, currently in my 34th year as a Physician Assistant.(11Mar08 email)

I was Corpsman Fox Co. 2/5/1, I believe 2nd Platoon, beginning of 1966 to 1967, origin at Camp Pendelton, trained in Okinawa, transported to Vietnam on USS Bear, making beach landing in Chu Lai. I was wounded on hill 69. Transferred H/S Co. Involved with several operations, ie, Colorado, Prairie and many others. I remember the Rock Pile. Some Hill on the DMZ from where we made many engagements with North Regs, and night ambush patrols on the DMZ. Was this in response, and actually to help stop the insurgence of the North Vietnamese Regs? What the hell happened to the term "INVASION". Oh well, ended up in Dong Ha. Transported Home out of Da Nang via Continental Airlines, although had to wait for second plane due to damage to first, from what we were told was ground fire. Would someone refresh my mind who the C.O was; I think it was Burgett . I am proud to have served with the best and would serve tomorrow if called on....Semper Fi. (16Mar08 email)

Gurganious, Rod

Served with fox company summer and fall of 68.Wounded and shipped home October 6th 68 . Spent time at Philly naval hospital before being discharged Feb.69. Double leg amputee. I have really enjoyed the reunions and IM looking forward to San Diego..hope to see yall there..bring your clubs.

30 Sept 98
Reunion in San Diego in July was great.  I really enjoyed Playing Golf with Colonel Dave Brown and his daughter Tiffany.  General downs beat me by a stroke and complained about his bad back or knees or some such excuse.  I had 4 balls out of bounds.  That was my excuse.  So now we are even.  I beat the general by two in Wisconsin .  The best time was the chance to play with my Ol buddy Sergeant Major Eddie Van Valkenberg..a true gentleman...Another highlight of the trip was the banquet and a chance to meet General O.K. Steel.  We also had the pleasure of entertaining the current commander of fox company .   I could go on and on. It was such a good time.  Hope to see you all in San Antonio for the next reunion.

14April03
Welcome home brothers.  I have been to most of the reunions and loved it all.  However, there was One exception.  In I believe 89 or 90 I went to the reunion but did not tell anyone.  I just sort of hung around for the christening of the Hue City, got drunk and drove home to Houston.  I was scared at first but now I look forward to the time when I can sit down and talk with guys from 35 years ago that I did not even know make it back alive.  In our brief time here on this world, we as members of fox company are blessed with the opportunity to find our true humanity through our friendships and fellowship with the finest group of men I have ever known.  Keep the Faith, Rod Gurganious L/CPL Retired.

Haehnel, Robert

I was with F 2/5 when the unit left Camp Pendleton in January 1966. After training in Okinawa, we arrived in Chu Lai, Vietnam around March. We settled in on Hill 69 until the unit was moved to the DMZ in August for Operation Prairie. After the campaign ended we moved to Dong Ha at which time the remaining 7 to 10 of us original grunts were transferred to a unit I can't even recall to spend our last 30 days with this group headed back to Okinawa. We never made it as we "didn't fit" and had too much fight left in us and were subsequently reassigned to another unit back in the bush for our remaining time. We did survive that last month holding a bridge and supply route to 2/5 in An Hoa. I remain best friends with Frank R. Castro, also from the original unit, who is now living in Las Vegas.
After a couple of somewhat shakey first years back, my life has been wonderful. I am only now starting to turn my mind to the Vietnam experience and have found that only scattered recollections remain. If you are from my unit, I would be glad to hear from you. Best of luck to us all

I served with the 2nd Plt, Fox, 2/5 from 3/67 to 10/67. I was wounded by a land mine in 10/67 and was medivac out. I lost my right eye and rec'd muliple shrapnel wounds.   I have worked with the TX Workforce Commission for the past 20 years as a Veteran Employment Rep.

Since I last reported I have retired from the Texas Workforce Commission and am now working for the West Central Texas Council of Government, doing the same thing except with a different clientel. I attended the Fox 2/5 Reunion in San Antionio and reunited with Marines that I served with in the 2nd Platoon, the Company COs and sargents....ame away with great self satisfaction that after all these years, the stories that I recalled actually took place. There were many Marines present at the reunion that helped me reinforce those stories.The "gyrines" helped to filled in alot of the memory blanks that I had from Vietnam. Still alive and doing well!

Doing good, married to Kathy for 27 years, with 3 healthy boys. Currently employed by the Mi. State Police for the last 27 yrs. Will probably be retired shortly. Then I'll try hunting fishing for as long as I can. Trying to put a Elk hunt together for this fall in Co. right now. Oh yes, I also raise the best Labrador Retrievers in the State of Michigan. Although the brains behind the labs is my wife Kathleen. She knows labs inside and out.
I served in Fox 2/5 3rd platoon from Feb. '68 till 2nd platoon got napalmed. Then filled out my first tour with 2nd platoon, with a short vacation in Japan and Okinawa for 3 months after getting blown up by a box mine on Aug. 27, '68. Came back to 2nd platoon, was around for awhile then got malaria in time to go to DaNang during Christmas of '68 while Bob Hope entertained the troops just down the road and they wouldn't let any of us attend. Didn't want to watch us throw up I guess. Went back to 2nd platoon, very skinny. Played in the mountains and got ready to rotate. Signed up for another tour with 3rd MAF in DaNang. Finally left Vietnam in '70 aboard the U.S.S. Iwo Jima in a convoy of ships coming back to the States. Got assigned to D.I. school in Diego. Got out of that quickly. Was assigned as NCOIC of the Depot Theatre at Diego and put on the recruit graduations there. Received a medical retirement, 30% in Sept. of 70. Went home got a job, didn't like it, got some college, joined the State Police and here I am.

I am a Canadian citizen who during the Vietnam War era feeling patriotic, seeking adventure and wanting to travel the world crossed the border in 1966 to volunteer and enlist in the Marine Corps. Boot Camp Paris Island SC,ITR Camp Geiger NC and then on to Camp Pendelton in CA. Went to Vietnam the slow way, sailed on a troop ship from San Diego to Danang. Transfered to An Hoa where I did a complete tour of duty from March 67 to April 68 in M-60 Guns, Weapons Platoon of Fox-2/5. During that period saw action in and around An Hoa, Phu Loc 6, Nong Son and Hue City/TET. That period of my young life was a very intense,memorable and unforgetable moment in time. As someone once said "It was the best of times and it was the worst of times". After Vietnam I did a 6 month Med cruise deployment, returned to Camp Lejeune and a few months later left the Marine Corps at the end of my enlistment. I live in Montreal,have been married the past 15 years to Louise. We have no children. Both of us love to travel and we have been very fortunate to have been able to visit Asia, Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. After the Marine Corps I tried my hand at a variety of jobs, however professional sales has been my career choice these past years and most recently with Panasonic as an account mngr in their Battery products group. I wish to thank the webmaster and all others who helped create and maintain this fine website that reunites all Marines who served with 2nd Battalion/5th Maine Regiment. Proud to have served with honor.

Marcotte, Arthur E. 

I was with Echo 2/5 from 7/67 until 8/67 when I was hit (between An Hoa and the bridge at Phu Loc). I was medivaced to Guam. When I returned to 2/5 (11/1967) I was assigned to Fox Co. I was with Fox during the move from An Hoa to Phu Bi. I was with Fox thru 5/68). I remember every inch of Hue including the landing at the river, MACV, the University, the Treasury, the hospital, the prison and everything in between. I got my second heart outside of the City in some vil when we were rocketed. I remember nothing about leaving the City. I guess it just happened. I was medivaced to Yakuska Japen in 5/68. Upon return to the States I was assigned to Guard Company Marine Barracks, 8th and I Washington DC. I graduated from Georgetown U. in 1976. Received multiple masters degrees from the U of Md. I worked for the State of Md./Montgomery County gov.  until my retirement in 7/07. 

Other than Capt. Downs I do not remember many people from Fox 2/5. I guess it is age but it also the fact that I was only with the Co. for about 1-1/2 months before we went into Hue City and of course once there, the names of people changed almost daily. The Co. we left with was totally different than when we went in. After Hue is a blank. I know we went back towards Phu Bi. We were by the coast for a while. I remember being in an old French position with concrete bunkers, etc. guarding a CB operation that crushed rocks. Then we humped up into the mountains around Bac Ma. I was medivaced again in early April.

Would like to hear from anyone that served with 2/5 Foxtrot during the 1966/67 era.

(Updated 12Feb08)Arrived in Vietnam in April 66 and assigned to Fox 2/5. Was assigned to one of the Best Gun Teams on the Corps.  We had our share of times I must say both Good & Bad.  The members of our Gun team was made of Rick "Barney" Barnes, myself and Hank Janakowski and other members of different teams as well, but it was Barry & Hand that was the makeup of our team and we all shared from time to time the responsibility of the Gun. 

The Operations we were on was Apache, Colorado, Prairie.  It was Prairie that I took gunshot to my right leg as we walked into a major ambush in Quang Tri Province on 26 Oct 66.  That was a major day for use as we also lost our Chaplain that day as well as many others.  After Prairie it was on to Llincoln< Nebraska, Tuscaloosa, Independence, LaNoke, New Castle, Dixie, Noname.   

Thanks to all who served.  Would love to hear from anyone during that time period.  (updated 12Feb08)

I was with Fox from May 16, 1969, to February 16, 1969. I was wounded a third time on February 10, 1970, by booby trap. I took out two corpsmen and a Marine forward observer; although their wounds were not serious, mine were. I did a lot of walking point, ambush, patrol, etc. I carried the blooper for four months and an M-14 also for four months. I had a mohawk haircut and carried a buck knife. I'd like to hear from the men in my unit. I've been in touch with Kozy, Uncle, Blatchko, McKinney, Lt. Hofmann, Peterson, Sutton, and Elder. Anyone who remembers me or any of these men: Please contact me.
Presently, I'm building a monument of Dan Bullock, who was 15 when he was killed on June 7, 1969. I also built a bronze Vietnam war memorial in Bristol Township, Pa. If anyone knows Roland Wolke, an artist from 2/5, please have him contact me.

Served in 'Nam 1967-68.  An Hoa Foxtrot Co. 3rd platoon.  A few survivors of Union 2.  Wondering if any others out there.  Have had a lot of trouble dealing with this issue for these past 35 years.  Anyone know exactly if we were in the agent orange spray areas?  Have had trouble for years with lungs.  Glad to have found this web site.

comments: I joined Fox Company sometime in March of 70, coming down from A Co., 1/26 and stayed with them until rotating home in Oct. 70 from LZ Baldy. I stayed in the Corps until June 78, operating as an assistant editor and feature writer for both the Hawaii Marine and Camp Lejeune Globe newspapers. I presently make my home in Van Nuys, CA. I am a published author and editor of an international newsletter called Distant Echoes. My first book, Through Smoked Glass was published, Aug. 2002. I would love to hear from anyone who served with Fox during my time there.

1st Plt., 1966, wounded at Con Thien

I had decided that the time I spent in Nam, was just my imagination and the experiences just nightmares, because I never met any of the men I served with since I left.  None of the Viet Nam history books mentions us, the only published pictures of our unit is taken during Prairie 1 and the credits are mistakenly labeled as 3/4.marines.  Now that I have found your site, I feel like the character in "1984" who stumbled on to the proof that the government has wiped out select pieces of history so they can arrange it to fit their purposes.  I have 30% service connected disability, I got my purple heart medal two days ago and now a website about my unit in Viet Nam. If I can find a cold beer my life will be complete!  When they medivaced me, my platoon had taken 70% casualties, but what was left of them was assaulting through the smoke and winning!  Semper Fi!

Added 8Oct02  It is nice to make connection with the living past.  I was on my way to Viet Nam as an 0311 replacement and when we touched down in Okinawa to refuel, word came that a grunt outfit called 2/5 requested 45 men and I got picked as one of the ones to go.  That was Feb of 1966.  We trained until early April, then loaded up on the good ship "George Clymer" and landed in Viet Nam, April 13, 1966 at Chu Lia and settled on Hill 69 just off Higway 1.  We practiced war with the VC until September 1966.  On September 24 we mounted out for the big show in Quang Tri Province, on Operation Prairie.  I think we got to shoot at something just about every day and on October 13, 1966, I was hit in the ass by a grenade, after we had spent a fun day raising hell in the village of Contien.  I was medivaced to the USS repose and after a trip to Subic Bay, where I met Maria or was it Juanita.  I returned in time to meet the battalion at An Hoa, South West of Da Nang.  Just after Christmas I got transferred to an MP outfit in Da Nang and so ended the most unforgettable year of my life.  2/5 FCO 2nd Plt Feb'66 to Jan'67.  Semper Fi Mac!

I am trying to find the name of a marine killed in Viet Nam. I was in 3rd squad, 1st platoon on a day patrol in late July or early August 1967. We took a break. As we did, this young black sergeant sat down under a tree to get some shade. As he did, a booby trap went off and blew him in half. Some one told me that his name may be Dudley Jordan. Was anyone there who remembers this? Thanks and Semper Fi!

Scusselle, Michael

I served in H&S Company for a while as casualty reporter in S-4 I think it was. Went in the field to each company to collect the casualty reports or got them on the Radio. I was wounded in action in the field when I was acting casualty reporter for the Battalion. Served as Battalion Casualty reporter for about 6 plus months then transferred to FOX company. I don't remember which date I transfered to Fox company, I don't remember too much after that nor do I remember any names, to long ago ..... After transfering to FOX Company I was wounded again then stayed in the rear at company headquarters as mail man, I think that was in Phu Bi. Then was medivaced to the naval hospital in Japan. I was then transferred to the Philadelphia naval hospital from Japan. Was discharged in August of 1969 while at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital with a medical discharge under honorable conditions. After discharge I took it easy for a while then became an insurance saleman for about 2 years then broke into the Trucking industry. Worked for Consolidated Freightways, Davidson Transport and Pilot Freight carriers, all when out of business or was laid off. After Pilot Freight Carriers went out of business I bought my own trucks and trailers and started my own Trucking company, MGS Transport, After several years I renamed it Thurder Road Express. When diesel Fuel went sky high and revenue dropped off I lost my equipment and went to work for another trucking company, worked there for about a year then was injured on the job while unloading freight at a customers facilities. That disabled me and now I am on the disability list collecting a disability check each month because I can't work now... sucks big time. Got married after training and now have 4 kids and 10 Grand kids, own a home in York, Pa.... well that is it in a nut shell, lots happened in between but that is another story, LOL I was listed on the list of FOX Company members but do not see my name listed anymore, what happen? Anyway this is an update. I purchased a black Hat from your PX and would like to purchase another black hat with the fox company emblem on it. I have worn it out and need a new one.

Served with 2/5 from 9/68 - 10/69.  First six months or so in the bush with Fox, 3rd Platoon and the balance with Battalion Headquarters as clerk/casualty reporter -- I could type.  After being wounded once and being hospitalized with malaria twice, I thought being in the "rear" would be easy street.  But, I was wrong.  One of the first condolence letters I had to write to a family was for my friend and fire team partner, Renee "Chuck" Webster, who was killed only days after I left the bush.  Several others WIA and KIA in the same action, but Chuck is the only one I can recall clearly. I've looked over the member roster but, sadly, don't see names that I recognize.  I'd appreciate it if anyone can jog my memory.  Semper Fi...

Vagnetti, John W. 

I was artillery officer (D 2/11) assigned to F 2/5 as an Forward Observer from July 1969 to November 1969. The CO was Captain Ken Furr and the XO was Lt. Pete Korn. My best friend in the unit was Third Platoon Commander Lt. Mike Henghsen (? spelling)I was a former enlisted Marine 0311 and that helped keep me alive. Although I was an Artillery Officer, my assignment with Fox was the highlight of my 15 years in the Marine Corps. In fact, the normal assignment for a FO with a rifle company was usually about 6-8 weeks, if they lasted that long, but I tried to stay with Fox as long as I could and finally had to be given a direct order to leave the unit. I was replaced by Lt. John Herring. I retired from DIA in 1999 and currently work as a contractor with BAE Systems.

Vallone, Frank, KIA 9/11/68 (Rosann sister of Frank)

My name is Roseann Vallone Oliveri and my brother was Frank Vallone. He was a with the 2/5 when he was KIA inQuang Nam on 9-11-68. He arrived in Nam on 7-7-68. He was only there for about 2 months when he was killed. Im looking for anyone who might have known him and maybe has some pictures of him they can share. I dont know any of his friends names, so I dont have anything to go on at this point. Is there anyway I can post something on the 2/5 website so that any 2/5 men can see it? I would appreciate any help.
Thank You Roseann Vallone

received 12/4/00
Im almost positive that he was with foxtrot. I spoke to one Marine who was with him on the day he was killed. I believe his name was Gary "Chuck" Huband. I had just wanted to know that my brother didnt suffer, and Chuck was able to answer alot of questions for me. I would just like to hear from others that knew my brother also., though he wasn't there very long, only two months. Chris Brown had put me in touch with Dave Brown about 5 or 6 years ago and Dave found Chuck and had him call me. I e-mailed Chris again and he said I can write something about my brother and he would put it in the 2/5 newsletter, so that might help. I'll be calling Chris in a few days to talk to him about it.

Walker, Melvin

I was sent to Nam in Sept. of 1968 with less than six months left on my 4 yr. enlistment.  The reason of course was picking up E-5 just two months prior and having a 0300 mos. As luck would have it I had a secondary of 0141 because I knew how to type. To make a long story short they offered me the Admin. Chief's position with fox company and I made it through.I can't remember my COs name but I do remember an incident in which he borrowed my 45 to make a trip to the field. The bird he took attempted a landing on unlevel ground and flipped down an embankment giving everybody onboard a pretty rough ride.  When returned to the company he came in looking pretty banged up and said to me "I lost your damn gun".

Warren, James, Jr. (JJ) 

I was with Fox Co. from April 70 until April 71. Served my entire tour with Bravo squad.  Was wounded in Sept. and returned.  Sadly I can't remember names but I can remember all the faces. We were at An Hoa and moved to lZ.Baldy at one time we were out at night if anyone can remember a lob bomb landed very close to our hole my ears rang severely that night and into the next day and haven't stopped yet.  I think I was wounded in antenna valley before moving to Baldy. If anyone can remember that time span or anyone from that time I would enjoy making contact. I am married for 34 yrs, have 5 children and 9 grands,  Also recently retired from civil service at Camp Lejeune.  I can remember the bad times but also the good and this is deep in my mind and heart.  Thank God for us all. ps my home of birth is Biloxi, Miss. and some called me the Biloxi kid

Waszkiewicz, Marc (Sgt. Ski) C. 

I went to RVN as an artilleryman with HQ Battery 2-11 (supporting 5th Marines Regiment with fire support. During my first tour I observed, from the Command Bunker and large wall map, that Fox 2/5 seemed to get more than it's share of dirty, dangerous assignments. Obviously, from my vantage point, I could see they were the "go to team." I determined to extend my tour twice in a row because I felt I was not really a full-fledged Marine until I had served with a rifle company in combat. I choose Fox as the "go to company" as their Artillery Forward Observer and have never regretted it since! I served with Fox from September 1968 through May 1969, when I was shot and left for dead on the battlefield in front of Echo Battery, An Hoa base, repulsing a Sapper attack on my support battery. Today I live in the Seattle area and maintain contact with many of my blood brothers from that era. Semper Fi....

I graduated boot camp on the 4th of July, 1967, while Fox fought the Nong Song battle at the Coal Mines. Arrived in 'Nam Oct, 1967 and served with 2nd Bn, 11th Marines (artillery) supporting 5th Marines. In September, 1968 I extended to become the Artillery Forward Observer for Fox Co, 2/5 and re-extended yet again to continue doing that. Wounds received in combat on May 12, 1969, required my evac back stateside where I was finally medically discharged with permanent disability. Fox Company was and is the best darned Company in the Corps and, probably, in any branch of service in any military anywhere! Hoorah and Semper Fi. My 'Nam nickname was "Cpl Ski" and, later on, "Sgt. Ski."  I have returned to Nam and loved the experience. The Vietnamese people > are great. I suggest you all get your hands on Battlelines, by Lt. Col. Dave Brown (my CO) and relive the days that helped shape who we are today! 

I was the artillery forward observer (actual) as a Corporal, later as a Sgt.  Most of my time was spent under Capt./Maj. Dave Brown.  I was attached from 2/11 artillery and also served awhile with Echo Co. 2/5, but my heart and the majority of my field time was with Fox.  Hoorrah. Updated 4Jul08

Whitehead, Frank (Sherri Alderman, daughter of)

I'm looking for anyone who served with my father, Frank Whitehead, in the years 1965-67. He was with the 2bn 5th division Marines in the Fox Trot unit. He was transferred to Charlie Co. after that. He says that only a handful of the two hundred and sixty men were left in the unit he started with. After his two tours he was in an Okinawa psychiatric unit. He suggests that it was because of his bad attitude. I know that he still has severe trauma that is forbidden to be discussed. I am seeking some closure and I believe that he would like to go back and visit the places at which he served. Bypass surgery last May is bringing issues to our family's forefront. Thanks for any help that could be provided.

Sincerely,

Sherri Whitehead-Alderman

I am looking for anyone who remembers me from 1970 to 1975.  I also served in Fox 2/3, 3rd Force Recon, Operation Frequent Wind and the evacuation of Saigon.  I am trying to receive pension, because I am now legally blind due to having a bullet bounced off my skull during combat.  Unfortunately, my papers are "lost in transit," and I need a buddy letter to receive the pension.  If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it.

Zelasco, MWJ

I was a corporal with Fox Co. 2/5.  On February 12, 1967, I was in the 3.5 Rocket Section and we were on a patrol looking for the enemy when we received enemy fire and Sgt. Gilbert H.J. was hit with enemy fire and was K.I.A.  I have noticed on your memoriam website that his name is not listed as one of our fallen brothers.  Please look into this.  I was with Fox 2/5 from January 31, 1967 until April 12, 1967, I was transferred  from M Co. 3/5.
SEMPER FI,
MWJ Zelasco
