Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

I believe there are about 18 planning to return to Cambodia for the 40th anniversary. If you plan on attending, and your name is not on the list, please let me know. Fred, we need to add Larry Barnett to the list.
I got a message from John Murell, who is organizing this event from Phnom Penh. He he asked me toget this out to all those that are attending. These are recommendataions. He really wants this event to be big!
1. Name reading by relatives - next of kin.
2. Maybe make a steel capsule with any personal items of the fallen, letters, to drop in the sea along with laying a wreath.
3. A chaplain mustbe with our group to deliver the service.
4.I, John, plan to write Senator John McCain, now head of Defense committee, and John Kerry and invite them to this event.
5. Perhaps some survivors would like to give a story or two about their fallen mates during this event?
This is also the 40th anniversary of the end of the VietNam War. We need to make this event the best we can.

I was on board the H.E. Holt. I watched some of the battle from a port hole. I was stationed in one of the forced draft blower rooms during GQ, upon arrival. Circle William was a bitch, after the tear gas started to enter the ship.

I was a Corporal in H&S 2/9 81's platoon during the Mayaguez. I was with the group that did not make it off the airstrip deck in Tailand, but some of secetions did make it. I have some pictures of some of the guys I would like to share at a reunion. Peace be with our fallen and past brothers. If any brother would like to contact me my numer is 760-604-2036

I was a crew member on board the USS Coral Sea CVA 43 at the time of the Mayaquez incident. I too recall those days as if it were yesterday and would appreciate knowing when and where your next reunion will be held. Thank you

I was aboard the Wilson. Would love to attend the reunion sometime

well I think we should get close to the wall. the reason is that it has been 40 years since we lost 41 of our brothers and would honor them if we visit them on the 40th ann. but that is my opinion

I was in Hotel co 1975 I seen on your Guestbook a marine Cecil Williams. Can you forward my email address to him. Thank you very much. No one that I know never heard of koa tang. I'am so glad I found you guys. Thanks again and GOD BLESS.
