Being the grand daughter of a Vietnam vet I have heard what the last 41 names were for. Thank you for putting faces to names! I have always asked questions about my grandfathers service. I don't get very many answers mostly, "well papa never talks about it much". I know what his job was and that is it! I have heard stories from my mother about the treatment of the soldiers returning home and have always been appalled! I know I can't make up for the things you have seen and the ways you have been treated just know I appreciate your service and I want to welcome you home. My daughter and I do Christmas cards every year and have taken cookies to our local Vietnam veterans chapter. If you could contact me with extra addresses we would love to include you all in our mailing list!

I was with Hotel 2/9 during the Mayguez operation. I was in Thailand as a reserve unit . I was a squad leader and was issued a .45 with one magazine and a m-79 with a broken sight. I didn't make it on to a helicopter but saw them leaving and returning with a huge hole in them. I don't know if I qualify as a veteran of the Mayguez club since I was in Thailand.I was wondering if any of the Hotel 2/9 group meets. I did go onto super squad competition with some of the people that earned medals from the operation.

Great site to show to the world this unfortunately little known battle. Gabe recommended the site after speaking to him about his experiences. I never knew about this battle either. Thank you to all the veterans who served and their families.

Visiting and following news of the Last Battle of Vietnam. I am a US Army vet, along with most of our family men and a few women. I am a cousin to Ronald J Manning. Saw the new info from 2017 Newsweek story about what happened to the last 3 Marines and the related news links. Informed family concerning the 2017 Newsweek article, the recent remains found on Koh (Kas) Tang, and the info about this website. I will also request support from my NY 27th District US. Congresman, Chris Collins, of ongoing efforts of this group. Please keep up the good work in educating and having the respectful acknowledgements and commendations to our fallen, along with the survivors. God Bless.
