Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

I will be there on the 12th and 15 of May for the ceremonies.

Hello all Just found this sight. I was on the USS Henery B Wilson DDG-7 Just off the coast of the island about a mile or so. We sank a gun boat that was in the bay. I saw the helo that was shot down. A lot of people wanted to go and check for survivors, but the word from on high was no. Did see them drop a daisy cutter on the island. A lot of people do not belive that the Wilson made the all night run from Taiwan to the island in I want to say less than 12 hours but we did.

Hey Brothers,
Just wanted to say that the ceremonies at Arlington will only happen once. As far as I know JPAC will not be looking for any more of our brothers. Please do your best to be there if it is possible. To me and my wife this will be another chapter in our lives that we can put to rest. Love to all hope to see you in Arlington. Terry&Kathy Brooks
All the way from the West

I would love to speak to anyone who knew my uncle Sgt. Jimmy Black of the 56th SFS. I am trying to find more photos of him while he served, hear stories about him and I would eventually like to tie it all in with the mission that would take his life. Please contact me as soon as you can. You can also contact me at jennifer.r.milligan@uscg.mil but please respond to both email addresses

Thank you, all who fought on Koh Tang, for your brave actions in defense of others. I am a 23 year old man who wanted to honor the bravery of you and your fallen comrades. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. May God grant you new life with Him in Jesus Christ, and reward you for your noble actions in His kingdom, which will be without end.

Been a long time. I was copilot on Jolly 13. Will be at Arlington on May 12th for wreath ceremony and the 15th for internment. Charlie

As we get closer to May 15th, I hope everyone is safe and doing good. I will be coming to DC for the burial. I will be bringing my 18 year old son for this and to take him to the wall.

I hope that the families of our Fallen Brothers see that their loved ones has not and will not be forgotten by those that served with them 38 years ago.

This is our Fallen Brothers time and the families for closure and to be home on US soil and finally laid to rest, for they have earned and deserve it.

I will be glad to see all no matter we stay in DC, the main thing is to be with each other no matter how long it is.

May God Bless our Brothers and their families.

I was in Okinawa with Shore Party Bn in 1975. I noticed a couple of people I knew who were Koh Tang vets and would like to say Semper Fi. Your service will not be forgotten because of this site. God Bless

The wife and I will be heading to Arlington in May and hope to see as many of my Brothers who can make it.
