Very interesting,I enjoy reading about the war. Hate novels, true stories are very
touching. I was on a ship and didn't really know what was happening on land. Thanks Les.

Great website with alot of good and unforgetable memories which as a retiree (US Army
1971-1991) I am glad to see and relate and of course pass on to my kids and grandkid to
try to make them understand what a great country we are living because of the freedom
others fought and died for and at the same time we have the unfortunate vets still
suffering day to day. Have a great day, Army all the way.

Bob--Just found your site, and intend to research it throughly. Thanks for, finally,
showing/giving we military cook's and baker's some well deserved recognition. My service
"food service" training and experiences, gave me a head start on my final
civilian occupation, education in food related subjects. I spent 25 years doing this, and
am now retired. My military time was spent inthe Air Force and Army, for a total of 12
years, 4 of which were spent oveseas.

I was really impressed with your story on the mess hall. I can really relate to your
story. I was a cook with the 1st.bat. 2nd inf.of the 1st inf.div. stationed in Vietnam
from July-67 tru July-68. Like yourself, we went every place that the company went. I
spent about 8 months of my year in the boonies with the troops where I made a lot of
friends who gave me the respect that I felt that I deserved. A lot of former soldiers here
in the states today kind of look down at cooks in Vietnam, thinking that we had it made.
Like you said, we moved every time the company moved, sometimes in some pretty bad places.
We cooked with one hand and held our m-16 with the other. When Tet started, the worst time
was in the morning when it was still dark and we had to start breakfast. Some people
wonder how I got a CIB because I was "only a cook", but as you and I know, we
deserved it. Welcome home. Terry

My father is SSgt/Interpreter Nguyen Quang Tri (ARVN). He is 52 years old and works for
SamSung in Binh Duong Province. He served for 3rd Sqd. 11th ACR. He told me many stories
about his old unit which he had served, under command of Col. Patton.
My father worked for 2nd Sqd. E, G, and F troops and H Co. Also HHT 3rd Sqd., 541st MID
of 11th ACR. He was often on missions (Med Cap) with doctor Cpt. Sandrock and Medic Sam
(forget last name). Now, my father wants to know these men.
My father’s wants to know about F troop commander Cpt. McAdam (KIA). He was shot
on helicopter by VC sniper. He also wants to know about : Cpt. Philpot (May be wrong
spelling the name) E troop Co., Cpt. Hudson G Troop Co., Maj. Melton 541st MID Co., Cpt.
Petefish 541st MID Staff, 1st Lt. Knepper 541st MID Staff.
Who was the ARVN interpreter for K Troop from 1968 to 1969? He remembers SFC Sanh as
interpreter for HHT 3/11th now believed to be in US. Look at all of your pictures for over
30 years ago, my father wants to cry when he imagines of the past. Please help my father
find these men.
Best Regards Nguyen - Truong - Thinh ( Vietnam )
(Editor’s Note: If you know any of the men that Thinh is seeking information about
for his father Tri, please write to him at his e-mail address above)

Even though I was never in Nam or in the Army, it was very enjoyable reading about your
tour as a cook/baker in Viet Nam. I was a Marine at Nam Phong, Thailand ('72 & '73,
3rd Marine Division, Bulk Fuel Platoon) and the story really hit home. Some times the food
was so "Gourmet" that I ate C Rats instead of powdered eggs, milk and bug juice.
I did pull my share of mess duty at Parris Island and can still remember scraping fish off
of what seemed like hundreds of baking sheets. By the Way Good Work and WELCOME HOME !!

I served with HHQ troop/1st 11 ACR from July 1968 to March of 1970 On an M-88. When the
Cav went home I was transfered to the 5th Special forces groop for my remaining tour. This
web sight brings back some good as well as bad memories. I was very happy to find it , And
I'm sure my 88 was at one of your ndp's for a while to replace a final drive. Do you know
of any other 11 ACR web sites?

Bob, I was not in the army, I was station aboard A heavy cruiser, the USS Toledo in the
navy between 1956 and 1959. Your story about signing a contract to be a baker caught my
eye and reminded me of the days when I had mess duty aboard ship. Although I hated the
duty I made the best of it. I usually got the spud locker and was assigned making salads
and salad dressings. I never followed the military recipes so I became a favorite because
of it. I like your site and will return to read more of your experiences. Chears, Byron
