HEALTH INFORMATION FOR VETERANS:
Office of Public Health and Environmental Hazards (VA) is an
excellent resource to learn about the dangers of Mesothelioma. Members of the U.S. Armed Services
are, unfortunately, the most common victims of mesothelioma due to their increased risk
of exposure to asbestos. The military has used asbestos in various aspects of work and
construction and ultimately affected close to one million individuals of the 25 million
veterans in the U.S.

PUTTING FACES WITH THE NAMES: National League of POW/MIA Families member Candace Lokey has
worked for many years trying
to locate photos of every American who was MIA or KIA/BNR at the end of the war, to put a
face with the name, to make our missing loved ones real. She now lacks only 36 and really
needs some help locating these last few. Here is a List of Names
along with date of MIA/KIA and hometown. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

Would anyone who was at Nha Trang AB on June 27th 1965 during the mortar attack that took the lives
of some airmen at the Fuel Dump, please contact Thomas LaRoe
adelinatom63@aol.com. He needs the names for a Fallen Profile he is doing on another site. He was
working on the C-123s from the 1131st Special Operations Group.

Note from Webmaster: We need some material
to add to the site. If anyone has some interesting anecdotes, unit histories, personal
recollections, stories of combat operations, etc, send them on by email. I will try
to pick what I think might be good readable material. I probably won't be able to use
them all, but I will give every one a fair reading. ~ DD

Note from Webmaster: Due to the spam I have
been getting on the Guestbook and the time it takes to clear it out, I have decided to
go to an email based message board.
This way I can screen the messages before they get on the site. Doing it this way will
delay the posting of the messages for a few hours. I have replaced the guestbook
entry form with an email message form, which will send the information directly to an
email account I have set up specifically for this purpose. I have transferred
the old messages from the guestbook to the message pages, at least as far back as I have them.
The links to the guestbook have been replaced by links to the email message form and
the message page. ~ DD

(NOTE FROM WEBMASTER: I need your input
on these unit emblems. Some of these may be the emblem of the modern
counterpart of the unit, rather than the Vietnam-era unit. If anyone spots
an error, let me know.
Thanks to J C Wheeeler at "The EC-47 History Site"
for the 361st and 6994th unit patch images. DD)
