Welcome home 1st Amphibian Tractor Battalion
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I was in Cuaviet 1967 and 1968 with the
Navy and I was sure glad that you Marines were there
I use to go up river and stay on any boats that ran a ground.
My favorite bunker was the tower on the
base of the ramp.
Well you guys all take my brothers and
may God bless.
Your Brother Forever

Wonderful site. I have never served in the military, but thank you to all who have. Thank you is not enough for the sacrifices you make to protect us. May God bless you all and keep you safe. Keep your eyes on Him. Retired Brig.Gen. Wm. Weise is my uncle and a wonderful man.

I was in Bravo Company in February 1968 for just a few days. When they found out I was 17 years old, they sent me back down river to Dong Ha, on to Phu Bai and 3rd Mar Div hdqts to receive orders to Okinawa. Upon my 18th birthday, I was sent back to RVN but this time to 3rd LVT at Marble Mountain. Bravo 3rd and 4th platoons there. Cua Viet certainly was interesting!

Easter of '67 to about Easter '68 with Maintenance Platoon. Did the "big move" from DaNang to CuaViet.
I don't remember too many names but would love to hear from any of you that would like to contact me.
Would especially like to know if anyone remembers or knows what happened to Lt. Whiteside or Sgt Wallace. Both were great mentors and role models that had great impact on me.

I was on the USS Bolster and was directly involved in pulling the USS Clarke County off the beach at Duc Pho. We arrived on the scene at 2030 on Nov. 17 and spent the next 13 days performing salvage ops. I have the ships log from that and several other ops that we were involved in. Spent a bunch of time at Cua Viet. The Clarke County came off of the beach at 07:45 on Dec 1. We then towed her to Danang. We tied along side and patched her up enough so that we could tow her to Subic, leaving on Dec 18. If you have anything to document it let me know. The VA don't believe that I wwas there. Feel free to contact me. Let's talk about it.

Was on LST-601, USS Clarke County in 67/68. We hauled supplys to the Marines at Cua Viet. We were the first LST since WWII to marry to a causeway at Cua Viet. Wound up broaching at Duc Pho in Dec 67, evacuating Arvns from beach. Spent two weeks sitting there. Any Viet Vets? !WELCOME HOME BROTHER!

Referred here by an associate of mine who served in Vietnam in the late 60's. I am 31 years old and never served myself. I just want to say thanks to everyone who has, who does, and who will continue to sacrifice so much so that our lives can continue to be so free and filled with opportunity. You do not go unrecognized... so thank you.
