The function of a Library is to provide researchers with valuable
information. In our third notice on this subject we should mention a great
book about the least mentioned group of Vietnam vets.
Mike Lemish (email address in our first notice) wrote a book about
his and other Vietnam War experiences. Its appropriately titled
"WAR DOGS: CANINES IN COMBAT"
Mike's book, along with General William H.H. Clark's book,
"THE HISTORY OF THE U.S. ARMY VETERINARY CORPS IN VIETNAM"
are featured at http://mainstreetli.com/vdha/dogman.html.
The Amer War Lib'y
For those of you who missed the point of our previous message,
the "hairy' vets are those wonderful four-legged guys who gave
their lives patrolling air bases, base camps and hazardous
trails in Vietnam. Dozens of war-dogs and their two-legged
handlers lost their lives from snipers, mines, bombs.
All Vietnam vets should pay tribute to the vets, human and
animal who served in Vietnam and did not return.
For more information about supporting the proposed K-9 Stamp
please contact VIETNAM DOG HANDLERS ASSN at
http://mainstreetli.com/vdha/vdha.html
There is also a great online newspaper for and about our
'hairy' vets. It is at...
http://mainstreetli.com/vdha/dogman.html
The contact email for Dogman is Tom Mitchell. dogm...@aol.com
-- Phill Coleman, Vietnam 1969/70 and someone who likes dogs
and appreciated the sacrifices made by our hairy vets and
their handlers. Are there any more of you out there?

phill,
No one missed the point of your message.......as a platter to carry
your commercial spam. I notice it's missing on this rewrite. I guess
your ISP is trying to get you to walk the line. Hope you have a new
service lined up.
When are you going to drop the Vietnam Veteran pretense?

What Rinty is saying is that Phill drank too much dog-milk.

I thought your function was to try and sell belt buckles, little cards
with the names on the Wall on it, and pretend to be an important
personage.
Ron, Jan, Oliver, Ephraim, Westy never heard of you.

I once killed a water buffalo in Vietnam. I normally did not man the guns
in the Huey but one flight our regular gunner was in sick bay so I had do
do it. It was a regular utility flight anyway and not a real combat
mission per se. Just as were fixing to lift off after delivering our
passengars and cargo we started drawing fire from the brush. Lt West
swung the Huey around so the .50 was facing the direction of fire and
told me to keep them busy.
I started firing in the general direction and the returning fire stopped
but a water buffalo staggered out of the brush and flopped over. I'm
pretty sure I shot it. Does it get a memorial too? It probably plowed
lots of rice paddies for one side or the other.

A nervous hush fell over the crowd, as they anticipated the
announcement. Finally, wrol...@nmsu.edu (W. ROLLINS) stepped to the
podium and said:

***************
Our motar crew was test firing our motar one. We had just got it repaired
at Division (bent firing pin).
*****
We dropped one down the tube and Phooomp (I think that approximates the
sound.
*****
The round left magnificently and landed in the valley below.
*****
Cleaned the tube and didn't think much about it.
*****
Later we got called to the Capi-tans tent. He told us to cough up $250.
*****
Seems the round landed next to a water buffalo. -
*****
Also seems that the buffalo came up somewhat short in the survival stakes.
*****
The villager was most upset that we had killed his water buffalo and was
demanding compensation.
*****
The villager's kid was a bit upset as well - it seems that he was seated
on the beast at the time.
*****
Dumb shit - he shouldn't have been there - should he.
*****
I suppose we could have used an illumination round to test fire.
- but -
only doggies would do that - we were MARINES!
*****
Damn expensive buffalo - shit we didn't even get any steaks!
