Rich,
this is a great site dedicated to a great example of what SF is all about. As I have had the opportunity to work with you in civvy life, I know that you have continued to keep the SF attitude and spirit alive. It is an honor to know you and consider you my friend as well as fellow SF soldier.

I commanded the Nung Hatchet Force which helped rescue the survivors at Lang Vei. Just found your site for the first time. Good job!

I am in the Captains Career Course in San Antonio and chose the battle of Lang Vei for my battle analysis study. This site has been enormous help to me and reading of your personal experiences at Lang Vei brought the battle to life. Thank you for your sacrifice in Viet Nam and your brave service.
Very respectfully,

I was with the Seabee attachement at Lang Vei in 1967 - I was a radioman and as I recall we were there to build or reinforce the main bunker and other construction work. There for about a month. Can't remember dates. Mobile Construction Battalion 11 out of Dong Ha. We came in on a convoy and left the same way.

Does anyone know the name of the S.F. body recovered from hill 471 April (2-4), 1968. The body was found after the Marines of 1/9 secured the hill at the start of Operation Pegasus. The body was found at the bottom of a large bomb crater. I removed his wallet, identified him as a US Army Ranger (S.F.) The Army sent in their own Graves personnel to recover the body. I had his name in my log book, unfortunately it was lost many years back. I include him in my morning prayers, as an unknown. This is my own quest to identify all of the Men who died on my watch so as their names will never be forgotten. Thanks "Fratres Aeterni"
