Comments: Hello, my uncle served with you. He was Roderick C Jamison. (Rick). Just stopping by to say Thank You to each of you and let you know I appreciate your service. I recall going to his sister's house for the adults to listen to 8mm audio message he sent home. I was too young to join in and listen. Hell, you were all too young to be there but my life has been made available through your sacrifice. I do recall Rick talking about amphibious vehicles .. perhaps just one or two in all of viet Nam while he was there. I also recall seeing a zippy lighter that he said took a bullet in his pocket instead of directly into him. That's about all I know other than the CBS walter Cronkite news stories. If you have any stories about my uncle Rick please email. I'd love to hear them and would share them with Rick's son Denward, aka Danny.

Comments: I served in D Troup 3/5th Air Cav from 1974 to 1975, 16 months. Survived two crashes, CH-47 (special ops) and UH1H on the side of Mt. Rainier. Lost my hearing for 90 days from M2 qualifications. Got attacked by an O-3 Sauerwein at a Team Handball Tourney, he dislocated my left shoulder. Got my rank stripes ripped off by an SFC Brown, later OIC Marvin pinned them back on, and OIC Marvin took him down to SGT. Oh the Karma. The joys of becoming a soldier in the US Army.

Comments: How can you have everything in your military records that needs to be, but they can't find your medical records. Motar round hits the track I take the full blast and finally they medivac me and days later I wake up and I'm told I'm lucky to be a live as we didn't think you were gonna make it. When I got to see my head, it was like a bowling ball "Huge" I lost the sight out of one eye and shrapnel in chest head and arms and now they can't find my records that would indicate what kind of wounds I had and what happened to me. I told them I was unconscious after wounded and the VA said we don't have records and I give them letters from a Command Sgt and others but didn't seem to help or matter. Has anyone else gone through this and did you find your records eventually? Happened March 19,1967, at Battle of Bau Bang B troop 1st Plt. Any one had any luck at find your records if St Louis says they don't have them
