Supply Sgt. Company D
39th Eng. I arrived in country Dec. 1967 after hitch hiking from
Anchorage Alaska where I missed my plane which had been grounded by a snow
storm. I was originally supposed to be in Cam Rhan Bay, but the
medevac I hopped in Japan, took me to Ben Hoa where my orders were changed
and I wound up with the 39th. I wish I had pictures but your site has
brought back memories, some good and some bad. One memorable moment
some of you may recall was the trip by transport ship from somewhere south
to just north of Da Nang. It was about an eighteen hour ride, and most
of us got sea sick. I've lived in Alaska now going on twenty years.
I'd like to hear from anyone that served with me.

I served as company
medic in the Spring and Summer of 71.
I have trouble remembering names but never forgot the events. I think
I remember Baily. He was the driver whose
Proof truck hit a mine, the only other one I remember from Kentucky, he got
his hand blown off when a VC threw a grenade in his Road Grader on the
road to LZ Young. I remember that casualty was from Island
Kentucky, but like I said the names are all a blur and we had several men
get seriously wounded from mines and other attacks. The site brings
back a lot of memories. Randall Bauer, SP5 Medic with

Hello, my name is Joe Dooley but was known as "Dool".
I was with C Co 39th from 6/6/67 to
4/27/68. I served on a hill (can't remember the name ) for a short time
and then moved to LZ Dragon for the rest of my time. My main job was mine
sweeping and my weapon of choice was an M-79. I was Ben Brothers
replacement and the day I got there he was killed by a mine about 1 hour
before I arrived. He was set to leave country in a few hours but some
dumb ass Lt. sent him out to remove a mine). I would love to know
who gave that order. I was a member of the 3 platoon /3rd squad. In
my squad was Scotty Smith, Don Hasting, Bill Ray, John Moretti, Dodson,
Boston and few I just can't think of their names. Our sergeant was a guy
by the name of Rinney(could be the wrong spelling) and our Lt. Gorthardt.
Our captain in my early time was Kelley followed by Scholl. I still can
smell the odors of Mo Duc and the surrounding area. ( I think that is
sometime you will never forget). I remember missing a mine and our jeep
driver Billy Smith was killed along with 2 other soldiers and the only
survivor was a Chaplin . They were on the way
to Duc Pho to conduct services. If any one can help me get in touch with
any of the soldiers I served with it would be greatly appreciated. Though
the internet I have made a new friend and his name is Butch Schwoyer who
was on LZ Snoppy where he won a Bronze Star with a "V" for valor in
connection with the large battle. Thank you for your site and the
opportunity with the possibility to get in touch with some of our
soldiers. If you need any pictures I have a very nice collection.
Warmest regards,
Joe Dooley

"It was my honor and privilege to be our great men's Company Commander when
we formed B Co, 31st Engineer Bn (Combat) getting ready at Ft Bliss from
June 1966 onward, then as Packet B crossing the Pacific on the Barrett, and,
until August 1967, in the tough missions of Viet Nam where we were the best
- D/39th EBC. Never, before or after, have I served with or even seen
such a fine, capable, cohesive and brave group of men, such proven veteran
NCOs and our many humbling, astounding brand new NCOs, led by our terrific
XO and platoon leaders. Thank you all. Hoping to see each and
all of you soon."
