Looking at your website made my day. It's been a long time.

served with 299th combat engineers from sept 1967 through sept 1968

I fought at Dak To and Ben Het (May-June 1969) and was assigned to the 52nd Avn. Bn. (Airborne Pathfinders Detachment) out of Camp Holloway, Pleiku R.V.N. I am currently organizing a trip back to S.E.Asia in May 2010. I plan to fly into Phnom Penh , Cambodia and afterwards head into Vietnam. Will be at both Dak to and Ben Het sometimes around mid-May 2010 and if anyone is interested in returning I would appreciate them contacting me at : thomasbleming@yahoo.com or call me at (307-334-2507).

Beautiful site, straight forward and precise. A wonderful tribute to the Dak to Defender's. God Bless you all!
