Comments: In 1966 I sent toys over for the Vietnam children to a Capt. Wilford A. Phelps. He was senior advisor captain in the infantry..He sent me a wonderful thank you note in oct. 1966 ...I was going thru memorabilia and found this letter and was wondered what happened to him..I saw a Captain by same name received the silver star for his actions on Nov. 4 , 1966..that was given in1976 and the capt is now a major...would like to know how he is doing...the letter he sent was wonderful and made me feel like I was doing something to help. I had several members of my high school class who were serving...I am now 68 and would love to know more about Wilford Phelps....thank you

Comments: I don't know why, but the face and memory of Sp/5 Cintennio, our senior medic from June to December, 1966, keeps coming back to me lately. He went on R&R for Christmas to meet his wife (I think) in Hawaii, and never returned to us. I was told that he died of Blackwater fever while on R&R. He treated me on 10/6//66 and told me I needed to be med-evaced. I argued, but he won despite our rank. I've looked for him on "The Wall" website several times, but can't find him. I don't know if I have the wrong spelling for his name, or if those who died for "non-hostile" reasons aren't listed as casualties. He damn sure died for being with us, and should be counted just as if he'd taken a 7.62 AK round through the heart. This is probably crazy, but does anyone besides me remember him and know more about him? I'd like to tell whoever he left behind how good he was and what he meant to me and the other Tigers. Thanks.
Comments: Thank you, all of you for your service, you are Heros, to me and this world, most of all, this country. Thank you for your Service.

Comments: My name is Denise Wynn I am Ray Wynn's wife. I am writing for information from anyone that might remember anything about Ray's injury that he got from a B-40 rocket when he was in B Company, 1/327. I am hoping he talked to someone in Tiger Force about what happened. He needs proof from a witness who heard about it or maybe was there. I have been trying to get a Purple Heart for him and the V.A. doesn't recognize the injury. Right now he is in the James Lovell hospital in Chicago to help with his PTSD . I talked to him so far he is doing good. Anyway if you have info or remember send me a letter by email you can use Ray's Emailor mail it 13792 S Cottage Rd Barbeau Mi 49710 Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Denise

Comments: This letter is to John Harris with the 17th Cav unit at Dak To. The next day when we left the battle sight I remember finding our Packs we dropped before we moved forward into the ambush. I remember having the NVA trapped on a hill with Puff firing flares and the Gatling guns. What a site to remember, the flare canisters which i thought were going to fall on our heads and the guns from Puff. That was a long night. Hope you see this post. |
