Great site, congratulations and keep up the good work.
I served with the 31 Combat Support Group at Tuy Hoa Air Base, later reassigned to HQ 7th Air Force at Tan Son Nhut from 15 APR 70 until 20 JUN 71.
My AFSC was 79131 (Radio/TV Production Specialist).
I knew I was in trouble when upon arrival I was given a stack of blanket TDY orders stating that I "would proceed at such times as may be necessary from Tan Son Nhut Airfield, RVN to any point within the Republic of Vietnam, on TDY for the purpose of performing duty as directed by the Director of Information, Seventh Air Force." I used most every one of them and was sent to cover "the war" anywhere there was 'anything of interest"
I am a Life Member of Vietnam Veterans of America and have served at the chapter, state, and national levels. I am also a member of the DAV and American Legion.
I am a 100% disabled veteran but continue to work in ministry and helping veterans whenever possible. I have been given the opportunity to travel throughout the US, Africa, and Europe to share with others what Jesus Christ has done in my life. Take a moment and check out my website at www.abidinglight.org.
God bless you all and thank you for the work you are doing.
Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters, thank you for your service to our great country.

Thanks for the welcome.

I have a son who served in the Navy for 6 years as a Nuke about the Spadefish. I always gave him heck about joinging the Navy instead of the Air Force, BUT we still get along just fine ; )

I believe anyone who served in the military deserves a heartfelt THANK YOU for their contribution not matter what branch of service.......

God bless you

My husband and I wondered how two Airedales (Naval Aviation) managed to produce a nukehead surface-type and we give him stuff about it, too. Wink

You have inter-service rivalries, and you have intra-service rivalries. All in fun. Smile

My entire family from the days of the Civil War were Army until the AF was established. Then my father and uncles switched over. I was the first to go Navy and this opened a flood gate. The only traitor since then is a cousin who is Army NG.
