HI, my father Gerald (Jerry) E. Van Valkenburg served in the Army for more than 20 years, including service in Vietnam. Although he passed on in early 1997 due to cancer, I think of him often as one can expect, but always wanted to know more about what he did in the service, especially while in Vietnam. Like many Veterans, he did not talk about too many specifics. Anyway, I still have a brass bugle proudly displayed in my house, presented to then Major G.E. Van Valkenburg, from the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry from 12 January - 19 July 1968. I saw it this morning and just said, "It is about time I try to find out more." Hence my post here today. If anyone can help me with any info, those who new of him, served with him, etc... that would be great. Thanks for this and THANK YOU for your service. |

Received email from Billy Earl Johnson, he was in the chopper behind the one Johnny Mack Tinney, aka MOHAWK, was in on Feb 7, 1971. It was nice to hear from someone that knew my Uncle. If anyone else knew Mohawk I would appeciate hearing from you. |

Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters I went to Nam in April of 1968, was in the 156th H.E.M., Marble Mountain, DaNang for about 2 months (was there at 3 A.M. on 05 May 1968 when our unit got a rocket attack, one made a direct hit on our tent, 5 men were killed, I still have dreams and nightmares about the detail I was on to pick up "body parts") They sent me TDY for 9 months up to Phu Bai to the 578th L.E.M. as the only Direct Support Repairman for the FADAC ARtillery Computer in 68-69. Would love to hear from anyone that was in my unit at that time. |
