Comments: Dear Friends, I served in the US Navy. We have some similar experiences. In 1971 I was in Beach Jumper Unit 1 Coronado, CA. (Part of Naval Special Warfare Group) I deployed to Okinawa, and from there was sent with a small team to Kampong Som, Cambodia, on a short mission. When we left Cambodia, all records of our trip were destroyed. As far as I knew, me and my 2 men, were the only US people in Cambodia. Only recently at a Native American Pow Wow I met other veterans who had similar experiences, no records remain. One other veteran, from 1st Marines, had a similar story to mine. Do any of you have similar experiences? I would like to compare with you. Thank You, Sincerely Roy Coutinho

Comments: I was with HHT 1/11 from 12/68 To 03/69. I drove an ACAV. I was pulling a 500 gallon water tank. When trying to take the hitch off the receiver it was too heavy and the 2 or 3 of us couldn’t hold it up. It fell on my left leg and broke it in two places. I was airlifted to a field hospital and eventually sent home. I don’t remember my track commanders name or the other two on my track. Does anyone remember this? Also I would like to know who was our CO at the time. Thank you.
