I was with F 2/5 2nd Plt Sqd from March 1, 1969 to August 1969. I served with Steve Piscitelli, Dan Bullock, Egglinsdorfer, Dan Farris. Past this, I have forgotten a lot of names. I was at Charleston, SC reunion but left early for health problems. I missed all I knew from my time in Fox Co. by leaving. I was wounded the 3rd and 4th times in August 69. I was medivaced to Japan and returned to duty, finishing my 4 years at Marine Barracks Bermuda as a Sgt. I'd like to hear from all I served with. My memory is bad on names. It was a privilege and honor to serve with you all. See you in Reno, ***

Doll, Gregg

I joined F 2/5 at Hai Van Pass in July 1968 after having served with H & S Company for seven months guarding the squids of the First Medical Battalion stationed outside of DaNang and later Phu Bai.

My tour of Viet-Nam was ended 6Aug68 outside of An Hoa thanks to a napalm attack by an F-4 Phantom on the second platoon. Upon returning to the states, I received my medical attention at the Naval Hospital in Philadelphia. After my release from the hospital I was stationed with the Marine Guard Detail at the U.S. Naval Base in Philadelphia until I was retired with a 70% disability in March 1***

I now enjoy my retirement living on our 14 acre homestead in the mountains of western Pennsylvania with my wife of 26 years, Barbara, and our eighteen year old twins, Penelope and Zachary.

My wife works at Saint Francis University where she is the Library IT Coordinator. I am employed as a photojournalist for the Star-Courier, part of Mainline Newspapers.

Dull, Don

I served in China at the time of the Communist take over in 1946. I was in the 1st MP co. 1st Mar. Div in Tientsin. In 1947 most of the division was shipped to Guam to avoid further hostilities with the Commies. I was assigned to F/2/5 First Marine Brigade. The Division was downgraded to a Brigade at that time, not to regain Division status until the Korean War. The service on Guam was quite mundane. The towns, Agana and the like, were out of bounds. Spent most of our time at the Company's slop chute, feeling sorry for ourselves and drinking that ten cent 3/2 beer. The beer was bad, but the company was good.

I was a Corpsman with Fox 2/5 and proud of my service with the Marine Corps, 1966-1967 thanks...Semper Fidelis. Went back to school after discharge, currently in my 34th year as a Physician Assistant.(11Mar08 ema***

I was Corpsman Fox Co. 2/5/1, I believe 2nd Platoon, beginning of 1966 to 1967, origin at Camp Pendelton, trained in Okinawa, transported to Vietnam on USS Bear, making beach landing in Chu Lai. I was wounded on hill 69. Transferred H/S Co. Involved with several operations, ie, Colorado, Prairie and many others. I remember the Rock Pile. Some Hill on the DMZ from where we made many engagements with North Regs, and night ambush patrols on the DMZ. Was this in response, and actually to help stop the insurgence of the North Vietnamese Regs? What the hell happened to the term "INVASION". Oh well, ended up in Dong Ha. Transported Home out of Da Nang via Continental Airlines, although had to wait for second plane due to damage to first, from what we were told was ground fire. Would someone refresh my mind who the C.O was; I think it was Burgett . I am proud to have served with the best and would serve tomorrow if called on....Semper Fi. (16Mar08 ema***

Completed basic at MCRD in August 1969. Joined Fox 2/5 in An Hoa on Nov. 11, 1969. Served as a Rifleman, Ammo Bearer for M60, and eventually gunner. Spent most of my time in-country at Arizona, Dodge City, and on Liberty Road Patrols.

I am looking for the guys that were there. I don't know real names only nicknames. Please contact me if you were there or know anything about this incident. I am trying to find these guys and/or their families, especially "Doc" and "Mack".

Corpsman with Fox 2/5 December 68 through July 69, when I went to 1st Med. in Danang. Remember the mountains well, especially our walk up hill 10000 (at least it seemed that high) and a huge number of malaria cases. Arizona territory (crossing the river on amtracs). GoNoi Island (not a fun place), and Liberty Bridge. Went to Desert Storm with a Fleet Hospital but got to visit with many friends attached to Marine units. Retired with 30 years in 1997 as Master Chief Hospital Corpsman. (Added 31Aug03)

I was assigned to Fox 2/5 (do not remember the platoon I was in). I was sent to the rear and put in 81 Mortars after getting wounded in May 69. Ironic, but I was wounded my third time on September 5, 1969. I was still with 81 mortars, but the company that was securing our perimeter was Fox 2/5. I am now a retired Master Sergeant, I joined the Oregon National Guard in 1975, transferred to active duty with them and retired March 2000. I now work for the State.

Now I am an old man. Now I have regrets for what I did, didn't do. Men I could have saved and never got to, but no regrets for the NVA I got.

I don't know about you guys, but I get still teary at the wrong times, especially if I am drinking. I still get teary at a parade, even if I am not drinking. I can watch WWII real tape and not choke up...it's history to me. I can watch the new stuff, even Crotch Guys, and it's News.

When I watch any film from the 'Nam, I get teary, more than teary, really teary.
