Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

I was one of the civilian mariners from the USNS Greenville Victory that boarded the Mayaguez. Greetings to all - you guys are always in my thoughts.

I was a Rescue Controller at Joker that day in 1975. A tall lanky 21 yr old now a tall, no so lanky, 57yr old. Back in SEA. Any of the Joker clan still out there? I returned to the AF in 1985 as a Chaplain and retired in 2002. Thanks for serving friends.

just want to wish everyone a happy 4th of july semper fi carl odom l/cpl g 2/9

This weekend we celebrate Independence Day. Please remember and have a moment of silence for all those that have gone before us since 1775. Pray for the living that fight and defend our freedom now. The U.S. military is still the most feared Armed Force in the world. We are feared because we are not scared to die for something we strongly believe in. People in other countries want to die so they can receive some type of reward. Our country is still the greatest nation on earth and we are blessed by God of the Bible (KJV). The military through the centuries has had its share of killed, wounded, and missing in action. The worst time was the Civil War. In fact, Gettsburg anniversary is also this weekend. Military members and their families have paid a price for America's freedoms. God bless all those that have served and are serving our country this day. All you family members of service members past and present are also appreciated for your understanding, patience, and sacrifice. Have a safe weekend.
National security is the #1 issue because all others effect our national security. Thank someone today for protecting our way of life.
God Bless America.
