I found this site by accident. I was stationed in Thailand during the Mayaguez Incident. We were ordered to support the operation. I relayed messages between the Marines on Koh Tang to the OV-10 controller and air support so that they could get off the island. I remember drawing a map of the area where the marines were (based on the description given to me by the marines on the ground) and relaying the information to the air controller. I will always remember that day.

Web Host note: Thanks for your service and help that day. We could use all the help we could get! Sepmer Fi

Just ran across this site quite by accident. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for your sacrifices. Dave McGuire was a good friend of mine; thought I'd pass his name back to your safe-keeping.

God bless you all.

OK, everybody. We've made a couple upgrades to the Guestbook which should cut down on the automatic SPAM entries we've been plagued with. I offer my apologies that this solution has been so long coming. People shouldn't have to look at obscene advertisements, and hopefully we won't have any more of that garbage here.

At the time I was a 2LT C130E co-pilot 21stTAS from Clark. Flew lead ship of 3 Herks with 1-15,000lb Daisycutter each. Waiting for positive location of marines, had best seat in house as we held at 16,000 ft all day when Cricket control finally cleared us down and in to drop just one before dark to make some noise, and skoot back to Utapao...landed min fuel. A day I'll never forget. God Bless. VFW Post 8296, Ocean City, Md
