My first visit (hopefully not my last) to this site. I was in the 409th from September 1968 to its departure from 'Nam in 1971. I then did 5 months or so in Phu Bai until I was discharged on June 2nd. A lot of names ring bells, and I hope to get to a reunion one of these years. was a TA (In Phu Bai, they made me a Crippie!). My Army sevice really prepared me for my current career; I've been singing with the Metropolitan Opera Chorus for the last 24 years. I've been married almost 35 years, and have 5 kids and 3 grandkids. Hope to hear from you.
