I served with A/2/5 in 69 and 70. Great website, I found it googling around for info on Lean Apache, which we liked to refer on the horn as "skinny indian". I enjoyed the history and stories and remember some of the actions and our part in them, particularly the Nov. 4 overrunning of LZ Ike. Thanks for the memories. Old men in Washington spend young men in the field, like they spend dollars for their own interpretation of "our national interest". |

I found this update on the internet. Sgt Kumangai was my Platoon Sergeant when I was in Vietnam in 1967 & 1968. (January 2012) The first Palauan national to join the U.S. Armed Forces in 1954, retired Army SFC Francisco Masato Kumangai, passed away in Koror, Palau in December 2011. During his career in the U.S. Army, he served in the Korean and Vietnam wars. Of Mr. Kumangai's seven children, five followed his example and joined the U.S. Armed Forces: one graduated from West Point, two graduated from the Naval Academy, one from Citadel, one served in the Air Force and one is still in active duty in the Army Reserve. Approximately 500 Palauans currently serve in the U.S. Armed Forces five have been killed while on active duty since 9/11. The funeral was held on Peleliu on December 11, 2011 and was attended by numerous Palauan government officials, including Palau President Johnson Toribiong as well as the U.S. Ambassador to Palau Helen Reed-Rowe. U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, visiting Palau at the time, attended and delivered a condolence letter from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. Major General Benny Paulino, Adjutant General of the Guam National Guard, led an Honor Guard from Guam to honor the deceased. (Source: U.S. Embassy Palau) |

I am a high school teacher in Melrose, MA. We are researching 11 Melrose casualties in Vietnam. I was able to find some information about Cpl. Scott Andresen here. I wondered if anyone might remember him and want to share their memories with us. Cpl. Andresen served w/ C Co., 2nd Bn., 5th Cav. Rgt., 1st Cav. Div., and was killed on 13 May 1969. Thank you in advance, and thank you all for your service to our country. Lisa |

May God Bless all my fellow troopers, both still living & those who have died. I served in 1969 & 1970, both in the field as an 11b20 & later in the rear as driver for the division commander (Gen George Casey) who was kia in 1970 after I left. My condolences to those who gave their lives in "Nam, including Tom Strathman, Dennis Resinger, & Gen. Casey. While I was proud to serve my country at the time, I have become more critical & bitter as time passes, now viewing the whole conflict as a political operation whose purpose was not to fight to win the war. Finally, a special thanks to "Tony" Tedesco, who was responsible for getting me out of the field & in position to serve Gen. Casey in Phoc Vinh. |
