Koh Tang Mayaguez Vets Organization Guest Book

Was assigned to the 40th ARRS as an aircraft electrician and was sent to U-Tapo during the mission. I am also glad to see your keeping the history alive. Many people I've talked to don't remember, so I remind them. I would like to thank the Marines, Sailors and Airmen that had "boots on the ground", they did a fantastic job under unfaverable conditions.

I remember it well

Semper Fi, gents.

I was a deck seaman aboard the USS Harold E. Holt and was involved in the towing of the Mayaguez. I actually was aboard the Mayaguez to handle the rigging of the mooring lines for towing and rode the Mayaguez until the crew was returned and the ship came back under its own power and was later transfer to a seagoing tugboat out of Sattahip, Thailand.

hi all hope all is well with u
