Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

I just read the article about your final battle in the August 2012 Legion. I am honored to have read about your bravery and service to our country.

I discovered your website after reading the article in the American Legion Mag. Were all brothers in arms.

i was in the USAF and served in THAILAND in

I was a 20 year old airman first stationed at NKP Thailand in May of 1975. I was an air cargo spec with Det4, 6th Aerial Port Sq. I had been briefed that I was on the mobility team and expected to tdy wherever needed. On May 13th 1975 the Aerial Port Sq was Bowling against the 56th Security Police Sq when we were alerted to return to duty. While I was on the ramp loading the Security guys I had just bowled with, I was told that I would NOT be going with that flight, so I gave the guys a thumbs up and said to kick some ass for me then I stepped away while a guy took the last picture of the guys on Knife 13. God Bless You Guys and God Bless all of those lost and still living from that terrible last action.

Dear Sirs

In 1975 my unit ( VP-4 Special Projects ) flew on the Mayaguez incident. We were a specially confirgured P-3. The same one that was shot down by China a few years back.
They had an " E " model though and ours was a " B " model in 75. We received a Presidential Meritorious Unit Citation for our part.
Nothing can equal the sacrifice you guys made but just wanted you to know that the article in American Legion brought back the memories.
I was in the Army 66-72 and then joined the navy in 73 to 87. Did three tours in Vietnam.

Thanks to all of you.
