Back in Vietnam - 005: Buon Ma Thuot 

Thank you ,I was trying to find information on my brothers duties.He was Air Force Special Forces mid 60's. You have led me in the right direction

No one may read this but here goes....my husband and 3 of his hooch buddies from 610th Combat Engineers are planning a reunion in late September 2021. 40 years ago a local man claiming to have served in Vam asked to borrow my husbands photo annual. It was very similar to a high school annual. We have asked many times to return it but he claims he does not have it. Wondering if anyone out there has a copy? If so please contact me at penny@arvig.net. The wives of these vets would loves to surprise them with hard cover photo albums from the late 60’s early 70’s from Buon Ma Thout area/compound. Thank you all for your service and for any efforts in finding these photos............🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for your service and welcome home, brother. Sat Cong!

I arrived in country 4 Feb 69 from Oz - I have not been back but expect to get there by the end of the year - such a sad loss of so many good men - love and miss them all. Take care Richard and all the best for the future.

This man was a special breed lived thru very tough period in (Ban mê thuột) kon tum, pleiku these places make real men

Thanks for sharing your story.

I remember that night. Dusters 4th Battalion 60 Artillery providing security for 175 and 8 inch artillery. We were at the end of the runway.

after the us withdrawal,ccs was turned over to the vietnamese strategic technical directorate (i have 2 friends in their teams)-the teams were supposed to do deep penetration reconnaissance but they failed in their jobs-in 75 ,2 nva divisions with tanks and heavy artillery were able to hide undetected practically next to buon me thuot-and it was the loss of buon me thuot that doomed south vietnam- about my 2 friends they escaped using a trail to head to gia nghia but got ambushed along the way and only 1 got out alive-

I was in CCC (Kontum) 69-72
