LINDA GREEN - You did not put your email address with your message below for anyone to respond. Your brother died about 6 weeks before I arrived in-country.

WELCOME HOME! First off I want to thank all of the members of the Rattlers and Firebirds for you service and dedication to the rest of us the served in the Americal Division. I was in Echo Co, 1/46th, 196th LIB. from Oct 69 to Nov 70. I got this web address from a former member of your unit and I have to say, it is great. Now I am going to ask for some help. I am working on our reunion and I am putting together a map of I Corp and I am trying to find aerial photos of the firebases, and of the Chu Lai area. I found several of the bases in your photo pages, however most of them become really distorted when I attempt to print them I am looking primarily for bases used by the 1/46th, but would welcome any and all pictures of the bases noted on the first map in your web site. I will pay for any shipping or coping that might have to be done. If anyone out there can help me out I would appreciate it. You can either email me or call, 231.876.0468.

Earl, I would be very greatful for a copy of the video of 22 Sept 69. It was me who contacted you a few years ago. My address is: 546 Lindsay Ave, Fort Sill, OK, 73503. Thanks again for trying to find me, that tape is important to a lot of people who were affected by Black Monday. Blessings, Whiz

Finally, after reading some after action reports I know now it was Dustoff 55 and Dustoff 58 that brought the wounded and kia out of Hiep Duc Valley on the 4th of Jan. 1968 between 0418 and 0456 hours. I was on the last chopper out with our C.O. who lost his eye that morning was and it Dustoff 55 that brought us out. Again, a heart felt THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

A couple of years ago a member of your association, [perhaps at the time a Chaplain ?], contacted me about getting videoclip of Quang Tin -- 22 Sep 69 -- which I took [8mm at the time] just before my crew and I extracted Tom Gates and the wounded crewmember who carried him to us from Mr. Alexander's downed aircraft in the LZ. I was unable at the time to respond, but have found it and can provide it now for the common good. So, if the person who contacted me [I've lost his email address] will try again, I can send a short clip. It's not a great quality, but the flight in the LZ is clearly distinguishable. And if anyone knows if it's possible, and how I can get into contact with Tom again, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. --EI
