Thank you so much for your service. Great people who really didn’t have to be there. Met one brieflyon OP 1 out of FB Stinson. A short visit greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your sacrifices to be there for us.
I was a wrecker driver/operator when the regular guy went home, even though my MOS was 63c20, track/wheel mechanic. Spent A LOT of time on the road in convoys. Driving, repairing and towing vehicles.WHAT A GAS MAN. Always glad to have those quad 50's behind me on convoy. Bob Bielsky 2/35 Arty.
Fantastic video Grace soundtrack💯☺️💕 My father was Motor T. He got hit two times travel these roads. I have a better perspective of what he went through. Thank you so much for sharing.💯💕☺️
It was a time of fun,,, and safe place back then, sad now day,s no place is safe, wish I could go back in time , to see it one more time, it was so nice back then, thank you for the post, and memories,
@ 6:49 Quad Fifty, Quad .50, gun truck, I cannot make out the name on the tailgate, but it appears to be consistent with how most of the Guntrucks of Battery E, 41st Artillery attached to the 4th Battalion 60th Arty were configured. Myself being a mechanic for E/41 1969-1970 at An Khe.
I was always glad to have these gun trucks with us on convoys. Being the wrecker and last vehicle in a convoy these guys were right behind me. Never forget the sound when they opened up at a firebase .
I remember Donut Dolly's. Candy strippers LoL. Not everyone got to. See them like some infantry units in the feid. I just Drove trucks Jan 30 1968 January 25th 69. I didn't see a lot of them. In Phu Tia it was never on limits anyway. A bunch of Trucking companies where around Phi Tia. 2 Corps the base before the central Highlands.
This was the road to An Khe and other base camps. . Petro Express 128th Trans group out of Phu Tia 12miles west of Quin Hon. I was down the road from them in an Ammo Dump. ..went Temp Duty TDY to Ank Khe. And their smaller ammo Dump. Security. Driving a truck. 64 C 20
I don't like the name Donut Dollies. To me it detracts from the respect these women should be given. When you have been out in the field chasing Charlie for 45 days straight and you see a group of these angels it raises your spirits.
As a kid , I always called it "FOUNTAIN FERRY PARK" until in my adult years I realized that it was "FONTAINE FERRY PARK" ! Thanks for all of my childhood memories !
My dad, Harold Slaven, was drafted 69-70. He delivered fuel and was a mechanic. I have both of his photo albums and there is a truck named Satans Hired Guns . Did any of you know this truck or my dad?
With " God bless " you all made it home safely . Thank you so much to all of the Vietnam vets that service in South Vietnam for " Freedom & Humans kind ." . The time I was in 7 grad students published high school in Saigon . The battlefield turns into horrible yearly . My boyfriend in military & younger brother serviced in Navy both died. I still remember sound of Helicopter flow over my parent house. Each night sound of gunning a canoe. Each night on sky flair bright contained just as a New Year firecracker but not that beauty. We all stay in Saigon after Saigon fell 4/30/1975 but all those bad experiment with communist a country governed by dictatorships my parent & their friend decided built a wooden fishing boat look for freedom . A first our boat on a Pacific Ocean 12 days, two person died because storm & our boat not enough watered to drink. . Met Soviet shipped they took us back to Vung Tau Vietnam. Communist government here put us into empty school jailed & late let us all our . The second time this boat made it to Indonesia Refugees Camp. About two months later the American Red Cross did their paper work , Heath check for each refugee . And the American Red Cross gave all of us a paper must sign " IOU " each refugee we will pay $600 & kid $ 300 . For each Airline ticket flow to the U.S. where our sponsor church was . Plus a Green card of 5 years allows stay in America & legally to work . In the U.S. we worked paid our loan , paid for taking " American Citizen Test " pass we legally became the U.S. citizen . God bless Americans .❤❤
Remember this well. I was very young. Only got to ride one ride. Dad did not make much money working at Hobart Manufacturing. This was actually very close to our house, that the state eventually took to build a bridge over the river. My brothers must have been in school and that’s why they did not go with us. Even though I was very young, I remember that day so well.
3 Donut Dollies went by me in a 3/4 truck when we were heading out on a mission- wonder if these were the ones. That was as close as I got to them. 1/11th. Armor Cav 67-69. Allons.

Everyone I knew -- including the adults -- called it that.
Note: no 🍩 were seen in video just a nice selection of dolls! 😉
Those are some interesting pics. Whats the patch on their shoulder?

My grandfather drove the executioner. Along side uncle meat and the babysitter. Just a bunch of bad ass dudes.
I never realized how many tractor trailer units were in the nam.

Lots of sand with mountains in the back drop. I’ll say South of DaNang off Hwy 1
These girls were Angels of Mercy in white or whatever color they wore that day. They did a lot to help those of us who were wounded.
The Park was destroyed by blacks when it was forcibly Integrated. It seems that whole end of Louisville is about trashed
