"Kelley thank you for your welcome to landing craft veterans command. I didn't arrive in country until december of 1968. served on the1619 until she went to subic for overhaul in sept. then went to 1617 til my tour was over. enjoyed your photos…"
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 TET in 68 are eligible for the Presidential Unit Citation. I am going to send you the PDF that shows the boat crews by number. Look down to the list under U. S. Navy Units and Ships and you will see the boat numbers. If you were on the 1619 during the dates shown you authorized to wear the PUC. If you can send me your e-mail address, I can send you the PDF. My e-mail is kelleyb60@yahoo.com.
