Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

As I had asked for information to help a person who served with all of you on this mission, as being told that oh the letters are not needed an such, Now I know how those family felt when these three brothers in Arms were left on that island and it wasn't any of your fault what so ever an I get that, but to outright now help the surviving am dealing with this daily < I just can't even imagine what all of you go through as this mission not only has affected all of you but that of families far an wide, an just a loss of words at this time>

I stand corrected... It's obvious you know more on this subject... The VA and DAV told me a different story when I applied for my disability. Regrets.

Well I have received a few emails offering help but no real content, as the post above stated they " Don't need that of buddy letters now " well I have that of in letters from the Department of Affairs office they do need them as it is the final step to get this through for this " Veteran, so please help me an that of the DVA told me the same thing I needed these letters based on this mission, So please help me help him.

To "Spouse of Veteran of Veteran" comment #762.

Highly recommend you go to your nearest Disabled American Veterans Office and have them help you... The VA no longer accepts Buddy Letters. He should apply for 100% Disability due to PTSD.

I received my 100% VA Disability for PTSD - 38 years after the last three operations in Vietnam in 1975...

Best of luck with you submittal...

Was a NEWBY to Weapons Plt Echo Co 2/9 on Schwab when they finally decided to honor who did they deed just a few months before I hit the OKI THE ROCK! Never forget those guys and serving with them on the rock until 1976.

Was aboard the USS CORAL SEA CVA-43. Wounded Marines used our racks while we were on duty. V-4 division

Greetings Brothers, first, thanks to Edd and Al Bailey on the update regarding the group headstone. It is great to know that mission will finally be completed.

I have been in phone contact with Larry Barnett today. Both he and I have worked together from the beginning to build our Brotherhood and pay tribute as well as never forget.

As many of you have seen and read, there is much going on, both positive and negative to the organization, with so much of ourselves invested, we do not want to see this fail. Therefore, Larry and I would ask everyone to take some time and reflect and pray about our Organization and the direction it is going.

Larry and I are going to continue our discussion and hope to be able to discover a better more mutual understanding for EVERYONE, and more importantly, heal any divide that exists and move together as one Organization. We know we are just two of the many people involved but we hope together we can help to forge a new path.

Please watch the various websites and Facebook pages for more information. We hope to put something together by weeks end.
