I'm the 1st guy from the 513th to show up. Ive been out of business for a couple of years. Thought I should check in and give you new info. One correction: I did not transfer to the 589th. The whole company was reassigned to the 589th after we left Futai(sp)and headed south to Tuy Hoa and Cam Rhan Bay and eventually Phan Rang. I don't check e-mail but once a week or so when I come to town. I live way out in the sticks on my ranch and we're off the grid and disconnected. I see a couple of NG's since I re-upped. I remember Headly and Delameter. If I'm not mistaken, Delamter and I had to drive a 3/4 down to Cam Rhan bay to DX it and bring home a new one. We got as far as Nha Trang and got turned around by MP's. Spent the night in an old French hotel near the SF camp and headed back to Futai the next day. We got as far as the White Horse camp at the top of Vung Roe Pass and had to spend a day or so with the Koreans before they would let usmove on because of VC activity. | |

I came in country as an 11bravo and was assigned to the 513th in Dec of 68. My platoon was in Tuy Hoa at that time. Than we were sent to Ninh Hoa along side the Korean Whitehorse Div. Compound. Most of my time I was with the 2nd platoon TDY through out the country. We then went up into the highlands to D Co. Of the 864th just at the top of the pass. This was the compound the bunker collapsed and killed the people working on tearing it down. Next it was back to Phan Rang for a short stay until we went to DaLat and then back to D Co of the 864th near Banh Me Thouh were I finished my tour. Please excuse any misspelled Vietnamese villages it's been a couple of years. | |

Around Sept 68, the 513th moved from Qui Nhon to Phan Rang and was attached to the 589th Engr Btn.I have many pictures, but will have to do a lot of work to get them on here.
