Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

Congratulations Don Raatz for being voted in as the President. I liked you lette! Teresa said you still have a cheesy smile! lol Everyone at Larry's Bar and Grill said hello to you and the other six that were there for the 40th anniversary. Phnom Penh still growing and building. A Hooters Club is going to open about three blocks from Larry's Grill. LOL

Had a longer comment typed but got timed out. Too bad the mayaguez memorial was removed from the Ford Museum. Does not surprise me. It was totally screwed up by the generals, admirals, and Ford himself. He said everything went perfect. Tell the veterans and the families of those that lost loved ones.

Sgt Barr, I read your comment below. COntact me at clark194766hale@gmail.com. Want to talk about your sea duty.

7 june Ford museum re-opens. Just got back. Got sick to my stomach. The viet nam koh-tang mayaguez room no longer exists. The new powers that b forgot the phrase never forget. Nah come to think of it it must have been the long lines at DisneyWorld. Im looking for what was called the viet nam room. I walked by it 3 times. Ran into Jamie Draper. I asked whers the viet nam room. He took me right back to what i passed. I just kinda stared at him and said i guess i dont have to take any pictures. Told him i didnt care Marty was taken down. It was never about my brother. It was about 41 brothers who gave all and tonever forget 15 may 1975. Gone are the pictures that told the history of viet nam koh tang mayaguez. Jamie said they had to fight to keep the half of a huey display. Hell they may as well take that down it looks out of place. I think the powers that b forgot the phras never forget. Or have i been standing in line at DISNEYLAND too long. Once again thrown under the bus. Tim Jablonski. Martys brother

I lost contact with Gary L Halls family I sat next to him in high school at Holmes High. I lived on the same street at 2041 garrard in Covington and I still haven't heard if they found his remains. Has anyone heard?

I was on the USS CORAL SEA MAR-DET for the Mayaguez operation Some of you may remember me I couldn't make it. Just wanted to say Hi to SSGT Hale and Barnett and all y-all just think it's only been 41 years and it seams like yesterday. SEMPER FI

I was hoping to make the reunion this year but I've been in the middle of some testing having to do with atrial fibrillation.
I understand that a record number of people showed up and that's great and that's the way it should be.
I just finished reading several acccounts of what went on and it's amazing that any of you guys survived. I know I'm

speaking for all of the Sea/Land people ,who were around at the time,when I say, Thanks for what you guys did. May the guys who paid the ultimate price, rest-in-peace.
I'm planning to try to make the next reunion. In the meantime Semper Fi!
