ON 4 SHIPS AND ASHORE

	I was on 4 different ships from 1965 to 1968 that went into Danang, Vietnam.
I was the yeoman and mailman on the USS WHITE RIVER (LSMR 536) during 1967 & 68 and
everytime we pulled into town I had to get the mail anyway I could, hitching rides
up to the airport on jeeps, trucks, swift boats, etc.

SHORE PATROL DRUNK BUS

	Seems like everytime I went to the airport it hadjust been hit the day before
(and the shells always hit the village instead of the base). 

Spent 2 weeks at Monkey Mountain being transferred from one ship to another in 67. The area was being shelled, I was on shore patrol and they made another guy and I escort the drunk bus all over the area wearing only billy clubs. That was weird, guards on a drunk bus while the Viet Cong were shooting up the area. Yes, Danang brings back a lot of memories. VIETNAMESE BEER The first time I went into Danang (1965) on the Wexford County we got to go over, I drank some Vietnamese beer and was deathly sick. Wouldn't you know that I didn't learn my lesson and in 67 while waiting on a swift boat ride down the coast to the White River on operation off that resort I set in the Vietnamese naval base drinking Vietnamese beer all day and got deathly sick again. The swift boat even ran aground in a bad area to do it in and I was so sick I could've cared less. --- Anyway, its fun to discuss fun times.

Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument



The Unit Memorial Monument is on the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base.
The Unit Memorial Monument will memorialize all the Naval personnel
who died or are missing in Vietnam. The names on the monument are organized by
unit complete with Unit insignia. Includes support and auxillary units.

Funds are needed to complete the Unit Memorial Monument and
restore the Command Control Boat, Swift Boat and PBR displayed there.
Your donations to this effort would be appreciated.


The Last known Command Control Boat (CCB-18) has arrived in San Diego
and is displayed at the Vietnam Navy Unit Memorial Monument Site
on the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base.
This was called by some a monitor boat.
