"Everyone, I am going to ask that this site be closed. I made this page so that other landing craft veterans could connect with me and share stories. I have been voted out of the NACVA (National Landing Craft Veterans Association) for recruiting vets…"
"Hey, Thanks for setting up the web site. I just received a call from the former president of the National Assault Craft Veterans Association. He thinks that I am recruiting veterans away from the NACVA (of which I am a member). I don't think he…"

"Doug,
Great to have you in the group! We had quite a reunion in San Diego, that is the LCVA - Landing Craft aVeterans Association. Found out that my unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Only 40 years late in finding out! Got to cruise…"

"Did you serve on the LCU-1619 during 31 Jan to 2 Mar 1968? The reason I ask is that due to the efforts of a retired Senior Chief, Jerry Patterson, it was determined that those boat crews that supported the Marines during the Hue City campaign during…"
"Laurel,
Welcome to Idaho Navy vets. I am an ex-amphib sailor from the Vietname era that rejoined the reserves in the late 80s as a Seabee. Was part of NMCB19 Det 0918 in Pocatello. Great to have you onboard.

"Kelley - thanks so much for sharing this with us. I've not been to one of my reunions (yet) but hope to make a habit of it. I know my father has been to a few of his and really enjoys meeting up with his old buddies."
"I would love to go to one of those. I don't think my dad ever did. I think when he was done, he was DONE. Thanks for the post!"
"Doug, Thanks for your comment on my blog. There is nothing better than talking about your experiences with men that shared them and understand how things were and are now. Good friends are made and old ones become closer!"
"Greg,

"Tommy,
I found the NSA patch on a web site called Camp Tien Sha. A Mark Lemmon set up the site. It also had a lot of pictures of the area and buildings. I was on the LCU-1481 from Sept. of 67 to April of 68 so we probably missed each other by a few…"

Too bad to hear that folks think we're somehow competing with anyone. We just want to reunite Vets and let them share their memories.
Kelly, Just found your web site, was on 1619 January 1968 thru December 1968. Asst craftmaster and Quartermaster/signalman. I designed and had the flying bridge put on in March because I got tired of being wet and cold and the added steel for protetion, looks like it stayed on after I left along with the twin 50's. it was a great boat and crew during Tet, worked hard, played hard, Hauled a lot of tonage. 155mm & 8" to go
