Finding Peace
Through VetFriends I was able to find out where he died and how. I feel much more peaceful now just knowing.I lost my high school sweetheart in Vietnam in 1966. He was a Marine sergeant. Since I wasn't a family member and he was an orphan, I was unable to find out what happened to him in any detail. Through VetFriends I was able to find out where he died and how. I feel much more peaceful now just knowing. Thank you. And thanks to all of you most sincerely for your service and for the sacrifices you have made for me and those who were left behind when you went to war. Very sincerely yours, Judith Lancefield |

Orleans, France Reunion
This pass August I was in Chicago, Ill. to be united with friends that I had not seen since 1965. It was the best reunion I have ever attended. Some of the us were in Detroit last year this was the first one. We plan to continue doing this until forever. Next year we are going to meet in Memphis, Tenn. Can't wait. ' ' |

Found a friend
After 34 years of searching I found the young soldier, and he came to visit me last year.While with the (104th Trans Det) Long Binh, So. Vietnam 1970 to 71, on a Saturday it was brought to my attention that a soldier had hung himself in an abandoned building. Upon arriving on the scene I saw numerous personnel standing and looking at the soldier. I told them to cut him down. |

45 year reunion
Don't hesitate to get your own reunion going or to attend one. I only wish we had done it sooner to see the guys who are no longer with us.In November of 2003 I received a phone call from my best friend in the Navy, Alan Howard, who had been looking for me for 45 years. To make a long story probably longer, we reunited and started the search for more shipmates from the USS Midway, CVA-41, "G" Division from 1956-1960. We were fortunate enough to find 15 others, (along with 7 wives) and had our first reunion in June 04, aboard the Midway, now a museum in San Diego. We all had reservations about how the reunion would come off, as it had been 45 years since most of us had seen each other. I can tell you that after 15 minutes the only thing that had changed was that we were older, wiser, balder,chunkier and the stories were far more embellished then really happened. It was definitely one of life's great experiences. We are planning another in May 06 in Orlando, FL, and so far we have reached another 10 shipmates and looking for more. We are dedicating each reunion to the 13 shipmates who have passed on. Don't hesitate to get your own reunion going or to attend one. I only wish we had done it sooner to see the guys who are no longer with us. Happy Holidays to you all and God Bless all of our Service Men and Women in our Armed Forces. ' |

McDaniel
I miss him, but now we have a means to keep in touch, thanks to VetFriends.com. Thank you for being there and enabling old friends to connect again over time and distance.I retired from the Air Force in May, 1986, at Offutt AFB, Nebraska. I had been assigned there from Howard AFB, Panama, in November, 1982. When I left Howard, I left behind many good friends. But one particularly good buddy was my Assistant NCOIC, SSgt Warren N. (Neal) McCoy. Like me, he is (as I remember) from the great State of Alabama. Last year (2004), I purchased my first computer. After I had become accustomed to doing web searches and finding a site like this one, I decided to see if I could locate any of my old comrades from my Blue Suiter days. Neal was one man I never expected to reunite with, but I looked him up, anyway. I found several Warren N. McCoys but only one who had been an NCO. His last address was in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I found a telephone number through this reunion website and called it without any real hope that the man at the other end of the line would be my friend, Neal. I got an answering machine and left my name and telephone number. He called me back the next day and, lo and behold, it was Neal. We spent about 45 minutes on the phone that night talking over old times and about old companions who had gone separate ways. I now have his e-mail address and telephone number and he has mine. We can now talk to each other anytime we wish via e-mail and I have invited him and his lovely wife (whom I have never met) to stop over in Tuscaloosa so I can see him again when he and his wife travel to their Christmas destination. It was great to know that he and I were as good friends as when we served together in Panama. One story we both chuckled about was the time we both tried to learn Spanish in Panama. A simple enough language to learn, but oh, how we could butcher word pronunciations for even the simplest sentence. I miss him, but now we have a means to keep in touch, thanks to VetFriends.com. Thank you for being there and enabling old friends to connect again over time and distance. ' |

reunion
Reunion set upOver Memorial Day weekend this year (05), 23 grunts and their families met in Gatlinburg, TN for their second reunion in as many years. What a wonderful time we had. Our first gathering was held in Austin TX in May 04. This was the first time the Charlie Company, 2/12, 25th ID grunts had been together since 1969-70. Thanks to Ron Hughes, Ted Grace, and Roger Maxwell for that undertaking. I hosted this year's reunion in Gatlinburg, TN and will do it again next year (2006). Everyone had such a great time...so much to do and see....everyone wanted to return....so any Charlie Company member who served late 69 thru 70, you and family are certainly welcome to join us. Give me a call (423)345-5000, e-mail danbreedi@cs.com for more info. Thanks and GOD BLESS. ' ' ' |
