| Sean Kiernan HoboPete82 My father was a member of the 15th SOS from what I understand. He was a loadmaster on C-130's. He hasn't spoken of Vietnam in many years since I was little now that I'm older I would like to know things he wont speak of since it upsets him a great deal. All I can remember is he knew some gentlemen in the 5th Special Forces and something about a taco stand. Maybe someone can Remember a John Kiernan? Maybe someone knows
where I can find out something about the 15th SOS? any info would
be greatly appreciated. |

Roy Salinas, KIA Information from: Dennis Dobbs - d00126@yahoo.com I am looking for anyone with information about SFC Roy Salinas. He was from Edinburg, Texas was assigned to A-238 Buon Blech in early 1968 as a light weapons man. Roy was KIA 01-16-71 with SF. Someone on this board said it is a small SF world and he doesn't know how right he is. Roy was from a small town in South Texas just 4 miles from where I grew up. We were both assigned to A-238 at the same time in 1968. We were on operation just after Tet and he was pulled out for reassignment. That was the last time I saw anything of him. All I can find is that he was KIA 01-16-71 at an undisclosed location possibly by friendly fire. If anyone knew him and what happened to him, please e-mail me |

| Jeff
Nash (MSgt, USAF (Retired) Subj: Requesting Research Assistance Am currently researching the conduct of a rescue mission resulting in the loss of a USAF Jolly Green Giant helo (call sign Jolly 26) on 9 Nov 1967. JG 26 was attempting the night extraction in Laos of an five-man SF team (call sign Flatfoot) that had been surrounded by NVA. American SF team members were SP4 Joseph Kusick and SFC Bruce Baxter. Another Jolly (call sign Jolly 29) had effected pickup of the three indigeous team members, but suffered heavy damage and crash landed at Khe Sanh. JG 26 managed to pick up Kusick and Baxter, but was struck by an RPG upon liftoff, burst into flame, and crashed down a slope. All but the helo pilot, Capt Gerald Young, were killed and Capt Young later received the Medal of Honor for evading and leading enemy away from other rescue efforts. My research shows two other ground teams (call signs Wonderful Time and Bulldog) were inserted into the crash area a couple of days later to recover and identify bodies. They accounted for all KIA and prepared bodies for evacuation, but ground action prevented extraction and remains had to be left behind. Would like to contact anyone who may have been involved in this rescue and the attempted KIA recovery later on. More details can be found at the following web site: www.scally.com/lorrie/mia.html Thanks for any help you can provide. Jeff Nash (MSgt, USAF (Retired) UPDATE: The names are SGT Ronald L. Bock, MSG Loyd R. Fisher, and SFC Bruce L. Luttrell. All were TDY to FOB #1, C&C Det, 5th Special Forces Group.

Rodney
Martinez Eazyrider888@msn.com I'm searching for any friends of Raymond P Loya, MSG. He passed away in 1977. I know he had a lot of friends. At the time he was also a member of the 7th Panama also a member of the USARSO parachute team. He was a lifer who spent tours in Vietnam, etc.. He had a very interesting career. The reason I am searching is because, at an earlier time in my life in the early 70's he was introduced to me by my mother. He became my mothers fience for a time. After Vietnam he proposed to my mother again. Understand I was a fatherless kid. He made a very special impression on me. He treated me with respect and taught me to look at life in a whole new light. I loved him, and he made me proud. He took me fishing with a friend, a fellow Green Beret. I only know him by the name of Frank. He also served with my mothers sisters husband, Thomas Melgares. He is also a Green Beret with an impressive career, retired SGT Maj. He is still living in El Paso, TX. When I was a boy the movie The Green Berets aired on regular TV for the first time, we watched it together. I did'nt really pay a whole lot of attention to it. At the end of the movie when John Wayne puts the beret on the little boy, it makes me very emotional. It took me years to understand that it reminded me. When my mother and I would pick him up at the airport, when he came to stay with us, he would put his green beret on my headl, just like that little boy. My mother and him broke apart and I did'nt see him for a few years after that. I was in junior high by then. I wrote him a letter telling him how much I missed him. He wrote me back saying he would come visit me and my mother on vacation. He returned for a short visit. I was glad to see him, my mother also. Shortly afterward, his sister called and said he had passed away
on active duty in Pamama. It had a major effect on my life. I'am
also a veteran of military service and I think of him often. I remember
that I had asked him on more than one occasion about his military
experience, particularly Vietnam. His only answer to that was, I
was a bartender. I also remember that he drove us to Martha Rae's
house in the Hollywood Hills. I would really dig to hear from someone,
anyone, who served with him. If you have any information on the
life of Raymond P Loya, It would fill a big space in my heart. |

I'm am trying to find the patch that was worn on the SF uniforms. Does anyone know if there is one to be found? My father said he would like to have one. It might be easier to find a needle in a haystack, but if anyone has any information I would like to know how to get one. I would greatly appreciate it.

from a little community in Schwaebisch Gmuend, Germany. We have
managed to find 30 of us in 18 months. If you don't already, I hope
you have a back up person to continue to maintain this very important
role of history through this website. I am a storyteller, my parents
are still very active with American Legion, VFW and they go the
VA in Temple, TX to do volunteer work. So, I believe I understand
your mission. I visited Darnell Army Hospital (Fort Hood, Tx) during
the holiday season as part of the Delta Theta Kappa (Service Sorority),
while in college visiting some of our boys. I also did my college
work-study program at the Killeen USO. Usually at Christmas I perform
at Fort Parker, an old Fort near the Mexia/Goesbeck area in Texas.
I dedicate the telling of a story title "The Very First Christmas
Tree" to all soldiers, especially those who served in Viet
Nam. I will share this website, with other friends who served. I
honestly appreciate you and our other "boys" and your
service to our country. |

(Bradford Brassington) W.M.Anderson.jpg I'm gathering information of a dear old familly friend who died in Vietnam in 1969. He was a part of 5th SF MACV-SOG operating out of FOB-2 Kontum. I believe A Company Hatchet force but I've also seen B company??? He was 20 years old, named Wayne Marshall Anderson "Andy" Ranked Staff Sergeant. Wayne was killed while on mission into Laos on December 3, 1969. I have found and spoken with Sgt. Robert (Hulk) Seper who was there that day and also with SFC. Adolph Straussfogel. Both of who were very kind to me and helping me put some pieces together around Wayne's passing. I also know Wayne was very close to Terry "Minnie" Minnihan who also served with him in A Company Hatchet force As well I have been in touch with Kyle "Twiggy" Dean and Frank Greco, both of who have been extremely helpful. I'm sure you can understand that the only way to find information about something that wasn't supposed to exist can be tough. Lots of knocking on doors and trying not to intrude on peoples privacy. I never had the honour of knowing Wayne. Wish I had though. I wasn't even born until 1973. All I can say without going too far into it is that Wayne had a very profound influence on my familly and his untimely death still grips all at this time of year. I have a single picture of him since my familly sent all his belongings they had of him down to Wayne's mother a few years back........seemed like the right thing to do. I've attached this for you to see. Unfortunately it's from the obituary but maybe his face might ring a bell. It is my hopes to write about the life of Wayne. His childhood is easily accessible through my familly and his but his service in the war is really hard to find info on. If you knew Wayne, I hope you may have some memories of him you would be willing to share. If you never knew him then I thankyou for reading this and getting to know a little more about one of your long missed comrads. Bradford |

On the front are the following engravings: "KENDALL", "B-24 A-244", "5TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP", "1ST SPECIAL FORCES" and "VIET NAM". On the back is a combat medic badge and a map of Vietnam. I would be very glad the get more information about this veteran (rank, MOS, ...). One thing I'd like to say: I've no financial interest because I'm just collecting these very interesting lighters with their own history. If you like and find the time, please visit my homepage: www.gersters.ch. Thank you very much for your help. Sincerely, |
