Tom, nice tribute to our fallen brothers. I don’t know if you remember me. I was the other corpsman with 3rd pl at that time. I remember that day very well and also the night after when the vc came out of the tunnel. I was on watch just before you. I was also with our new Lt. When he was wounded. There was only 5 of us on that patrol and 3 were wounded. Sgt. Emrick brought another room patrol out to save us. Semper fi to all Jim Richardson

Jim, I do indeed remember you, and remember you well! Welcome Home and Semper Fi, Brother!

You shepherded me through my first two weeks in the bush - a time I will never forget.

I remember particularly the day a couple days before the Mothers Day Massacre when L/Cpl. Mark S. Anderson - who was attached to us from H&S - tripped a 105 round. He was the first fatality I faced after arriving in Country and, had you not been there to guide me, I don't know how I would have been able to handle it.

I'd be most happy to speak with you again - I'll FReep-mail you my contact info.





America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Doc, I have been looking for 3rd platoon corpsmen for years. From March to Sept 6, 1969, I commanded K-3. You probably treated me the first time I was wounded on May 31st. Moses, Doc, and I were wounded on Go Noi Island by a booby trapped frag. I think it was Doc Belcher who was the third one hit.

My email is nnnrmc@icloud.com.

Semper Fi,
Nick McIntosh, 2nd Lt Kilo 3rd Platoon
