Portfolio and Bryson….. I was beginning to think I was the only old corps Redpatcher checking the newsletter. I arrived at Da Nang in 1966. I served with Company A, 3rd Shore Party Bn, 3rd Marine Division. Went to Thuan An, then to Camp Evans north of Hue in December 1966, back to Thuan An, then to Dong Ha until rotating in August 1967.

Hi
The name is Roy, I arrived in VN in May 67 I was with the Searchlight Plt. I had only been there nine days when I got in my first firefight. In of all places, Freedom Hill, otherwise know as Hill 327. It was supposed to be the safest place around Da Nang. Our Platoon was the most hated by both sides. The only ones that really appreciated us was “Spooky” that awful fantastic killer gunship in the sky. Our searchlights would light up and area and he would just unload on the VC. “Welcome Home” Marine. I’m glad you made it back. Semper Fi ! Once a Marine, Always a Marine
