Dear Brothers

Hello again, my brothers.

 

I'm Mick Capman, a retired cop from Kalamazoo, Michigan currently living in Muskegon, Michigan.

I served in Vietnam from early '67 to late '68.  Our "rear" area was in PhuCat RVN.

I was a combat medic assigned to the 903rd AeroMedEvac USAF Flt, and spent most of my time at the DMZ, I Corp, supporting the 3rd Marine Div at DongHa, or the 173rd Airborne Div(Army), in the central highlands at DakTo.

My FRIENDSHIP with the ROK Marines assigned to PhuCat started mid-year of 1967.

I got to know many of you and unfortunately, lost touch with you personally after we both had left the war zone.  I honor and appreciate the service you have given to your countrymen today, and yesterday.  I am VERY PROUD and HUMBLED to have known you during the times I came back to PhuCat.

I remember passing seeing you guys, and thinking there was something I could do to help your situation.  I told my parents about it, and they donated to you GREEN sweatshirts from Western Michigan University.  Do any of you remember that?    I was also able to bring out a truck load of plywood sheets to help you construct your Captain's hooch, and help with the repairs of your hooches. 

I very much respected you guys and hope some of these pictures will bring back good memories ... tough as they were.  I haven't forgotten the young faces, their smiles and I very much hope and pray, all of you are well today.

 

Do you recognize any of these faces???

 

Thank you, Merry Christmas, and hope our paths cross again soon.
