Hi Tim, Fred, and Larry.      3 Dec 11

I got the below inquiry from a Mr. Steve Baker who served in the Marines. I couldn't find the name of the CAP officer he mentions (Doug Cazort) on the site. Can you and Fred please put the word out among the membership?  Larry, if you have any record of him, I'd be obliged if you would forward it to him.

His E is: Steve Baker <bakers007@hawaii.rr.com>



 Do you happen to know Doug Cazort?  He was in our OCS & Basic School class(Kilo-68).  He was with CAP & the grunts.  He went to Vanderbilt.  

Thanks for any assistance.

Best,

Jim
 

 Anyone know the status of the Marine mentioned below?

Fred,                       Jul 11

See if you can find any info on  Jim Sellers, Corpsman from Modesto, CA.  Last reunion he went to was D. C. 2003.  He has ALS.  I’ve sent e-mails to the only address I have with no results.  He may not be with us anymore.  If you do find something, let me know.

I just made my flight arrangements for Hawaii.

Thanks, later,   Mike Mullins

 I was a Marine sentry dog handler in Vietnam during 1967 and 1968.  My dog’s name was Tiger (he had an abbreviated/bobbed-tail and therefore quite distinctive).  I have seen the names of several dog handler’s on your list and felt it right to submit our experience.

 Tiger and I served with CAG 1 during June and July 1968.  I cannot remember a lot about the various CAP’s w were with but do remember the one CAP that was started anew at either the end of June or the start of July.  It was just west of the Army’s Americal division headquarters at Hill 69(??).  I do recall the unique and rewarding experience we had working for CAG’s.  Before and afterwards we worked with a number of different units (3/7, 1/9, 3/3 and 3 LVT’s) it was with CAG that I felt we were making a difference with the Vietnamese people

 I would be interesting in hearing from anyone who may remember us.

    If anyone can help out COL Ikins it would be much appreciated.   (Since Larry was "in country" between 69 & 71, I'm assuming he was in 2nd CAG, maybe CACO 2-1)

Hello -
 
Researching a Marine by the name of Larry E. Nowlin, who was in CAC 2-1 in Vietnam, maybe between 1969 and 1971.  I am helping to research a missing award for Larry, who unfortunately was killed in a CH-46 accident in 1972 in Okinawa.  Would you or anybody there know when Larry was in VN and therefore who the C.O. of the 2nd CAG might have been at the time?
 
 
 
Thanks and Semper Fi -

They can also include (on cc line) Jim Viscardi, who is Larry's friend.  A previous award for Larry says he was in CAC 2-1.  I assumed that meant 2nd CAG although I suppose it could be a 2nd CAC in another CAG.
 

 

 

Hi, I am Gerald L. Carmichael, HM3 who served with CAP unit 2-1-1 in Vietnam from July, 1968 to July 1969.  I would like to be included in the list of our unit.  I am now 64 years old and have forgotten many of the names of the guys in our unit.  I remember we had Sgt. Lane as our leader.  One of our Marines was wounded in a Viet Cong attack and I crawled up to him.  We heard another mortar round take off and then a thud.  I can't remember the Marines name but would love to find out who that was.  I believe the date of the attack was Feb. 22, 1969.  If you have any info on our unit I would appreciate it.  thank you.  Gerald Carmichael

 

 

One of our own Canadian Vietnam Vets and a CAP Marine.    I received the following from Dave Crockett:

 

The president of both the Vietnam Veterans in Canada and American Legion Post #75 ( Theodore H. Snow Post ) Vancouver, British Columbia. He was also a CAP Marine, A recon Marine, and graduated from SEAL school. He served with 2-3-1 plus others. He was a CAP commander. His name is Gerry Flowers. He has seen some pictures that have come up, and he recognizes some of the Marines. Check his website out. He has some great pictures of him with his CAP unit. You can find him with Moore's Marauders on their website.  He was at Hoi An with 2-3-1.  I will send you a video he did the day before Veteran's Day. I would like to present him with the coin, if you tell me how much, and how I can get it I would greatly appreciate it.

I am Robert Fallo Jr. . My dad was Robert Fallo Sr. , He was at Hotel 3 & Hotel 8 in 1967. I would like to here from anyone who knew my dad. 

If you could post that note under his name I would greatly appreciate it.    Respectfully , Robert Fallo Jr.

 

 

From Mike Readinger after he received an email from Jack Wells Author of Class of 67.

 My comment back to him was....
 
  I am speechless.
 It's not so much that "A Shadow on the Wall" is in the book, but the fact that the memory of Dennis
 will continue to live long after I am gone. And that's the way it needs to be.
 I look forward to reading the book.
 This is one of those situations where a simple "thanks" will not do..

 Tiny,

 FYI........Your prose, "A Shadow on the Wall," is in the first part of the book under Vietnam Reflections.  I gave credit to your name and CAP Echo 2 and that you wrote it
 in memory of Sgt. Dennis Hammond.  The interior of the book is in layout and design and should be available on Amazon by the end of next month.  I will keep you posted.

  Please contact Chaplain Lee Elias concerning anything in this note. 

 

Since I do a lot of speaking and as a Chaplain go into the VA as a 80%disableded Veteran soon to be 100% I hope.  I wanted and wear into the VAs my Leather Vest as well as my other Long sleeve jackets.  Also hats and shirts. 

 
I specialize in Emboridery and have for over 25 years.  I am set up with one of the best Emboridery companies nation wide with 250 heads and adding more all the time.  Both he and I are set up with one of the best clothing companies in the nation.  They are about to complete my web site for what I want to share with you.  I sale at appx. 30% above whole sale to all Disabled Vets and Veterans only.  I also let them sale for us and add up to 20% on 24 min. or for one item 30%.  I have no money invested.  It started when I went into the VA about 2 1/2 years ago and realized most Vets need an extra job.  So after several months I approached both companies that I have sold for for over 25 years and they said yes to what I wanted to do.
 
Fred I will make this fast.  I have sent two Embroidery attachments to you.  This is on a lot of what I wear into the VA as a Chaplain as well as a DAV.  I don't work for the VA yet since they need volunteers they are glad to have my help also I sit in on Group meetings that I need to go to as I did seveal tours in Nam.  Both with CAP & Recon/Rangers but with CAP most of my tour.
 
I can emboridery anything you want @ 30% above cost.  Pricing all depends on the item sold.  Yet I'm with a Contract Emb. and he bankrolls everything for me.  The site being set up now you are able to order off of direct.  Pay direct and the order goes to my Emb. direct.
On 24 flat garments there is no shipping or digitizing.  Same goes for 24 hats. 
We can also do on cloth and it can be framed yet to do this the cloth has to be at least 9" by 9" each.   Also the first 6,000 stitches are free on 24 or any item.  Yet this is the BEST of The BEST.  We can get anything but with this one company these arrangements have been made.   We are also set up for Contract Screen Printing yet I believe once you see what I have done you will be interested in the Emboridery.  Therefore I need your help.  I want to give all my brothers the pride I feel when wearing the CAP Embroidery.  We can also put their rank, name and Unit under the CAP Logo.  Many options.  Last they can sale for us once paid we will send them a check.  No investment, nothing to sign and do when they want.
 
Here are the Logos.  The Leather Vest Jackets that you see on Sgt Grut that are embossed with the Marine Logo.  I'm set up them yet we have to have a min. of 6 to order.  Then we put the Embroidery on the front.  I can get a Embosed USMC vest that cost $89.00 each for half.  Then we just add 30% and the cost of the embroidery.
 
Can you help me get this on site.  If yes we will order samples, put pricing together and send download to you or who ever it is we need to.  I have already sold several to individuals so I know it is a hot item embroidered.  So just check out the attachments and let me know what you think. USMC Seal = 37,000 + stitches and CAP = 14,000 + stitches.

I am sending you all the information I have at this time. I was in Vietnam from Sept 65 until Oct 66.
Sept 65 to Mar 18, 1966 assigned to Co B 3rd ATBN 3rd Mar Div at ChuLai. March 1966 escorted large convoy from ChuLai to an area south of Danang. After a maintenance break of about two weeks my section of two ONTOS was broken up,  I was transferred from Co B 3rd ATBN 3rd Mar Div to Co A 1st ATBN 1st Mar Div. I was assigned to a CAC unit near Marble Mtn. for a short period of time. I was the ONTOS Commander and at this time transferred to another CAC near Tam Ky. We referred to the area as the "Water point" During this time I knew the program was part of a "Pacification" or ":People to People" program. We were told that we would be assigned to a small unit of Marines in or near a village to provide assistance to local PF units. There were 12 to 15 Marines, my ONTOS with a two man crew ( I was short one man), and a corpsman. A SSGT was in charge at the time. I do not remember the CAC designations.
I hope this information is enough. I do not know how to obtain specific records as to my day to day activities.
I have asked NPRC to send me all they can about my service.

McDougall, Ted
