 Just stopped in to see who is still around. Saw some pictures I have of Mike Callaghan and Maj. Robbins and thought I would check in on the rest of the gang. South America, Nam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand were great memories, especially with the Grand "Ol Man" of Combat Control, Thom Monley. I miss him..... I was glad to be, along with other CCT team members, a part of the American POW release at Loc Ninh

 It is with great sorrow to read of the passing of Gary Hooper. I severed with Gary at Charleston 437 CCT, and as John Lynch stated Gary had that unmistakable laugh. God rest his sole.

It has been a while since I have signed in , but here goes. After having been stricken with cancer two years ago, I thought the personal contacts would fall off sharply , but , they have not. all my CCT brothers have continued to keep contact. I really appreciate the support prayers and comraderey from all of you. I miss all of you when we are not together. I am two years in remission and I pray it is ths good Lords will to stay free of the threat. God bless you all and remember I love all of you and my heart stays with you daily.

ATTENTION: All Combat Controllers who knew Sgt. Rodney B. Dewey (Zeke), I need your help. It seems my DD214 does not reflect my time spent in Vietnam. My local VFW will not accept me as a Vietnam veteran, although I certainly feel like one, especially after losing a C-130 at KonTum. What can I do? At the time, Captain Witherspoon (1971-72) was my OIC. I need my wife, friends and family to know that I am not a liar. This is very important to me as some of you know, I have literally hit people who lied about being in Vietnam but did not serve there. How long does one have to endure war to have our DD214's reflect it? Please, people, tell me what I have to do to earn my campaign ribbons for my service in Vietnam? If nothing else, e-mail my wife if you knew me over there and assure her I'm real, maybe flawed but real. Maybe Bob Bieber can help if Capt. Witherspoon can't be reached. I do not wish to go under without my government recognizing my total voluntary service. I've always hated to ask for help. I am 57 years old now, and I'm asking all of you for it now; pictures, anything, or correct steps to take to make my DD214 right. Thank you, XSgt. R.B. Dewey CCT 272.

P.S. I was debriefed by general officers at Pleiku about our situation at KonTum, but I do not know who they are today, but Capt. Witherspoon was there. Thanks again for any help that comes my way on this matter.  TAILPIPES, STAND PROUD!!!! Zeke

Mike, hey man lighten up on yourself. Hell, I'm still sufffering the effects of my problems but hey the house is looking good. It's all done in Knotty pine, stained Early American and then polyurethaned, at least twice. New front door went in, windows on order. Still have alot more to do but then I'm not kicking myself in the ass. You got me started in my project by letting me and Annie sleep in that bed. Since that time, I've raised our beds, made cabinets, a butcher block table, benches, a china cabinet and well just gone crazy trying to improve our home. You see, your life isn;t as shitty as you think... Let us know when you're up our way. We got a place for you after October I hope. Daughter and son-in-law are supposed to be buying their own home which will leave Annie and myself happier. Your buddy and friend Dan

 So sorry to hear about your Dad. There is no way that one can prepare for the lose of a friend or a relation. There is only a grieving process and the continuation of life, moving on. Remember, the memories of the person passing on are still buried in our heart so we really don't lose them. We are able to edit the moments and treasure the gems of a life shared inbetween.

I’ve been busy as the site Field Engineer (contractor) on two completed construction jobs on Bragg, now on the third helping build yet another large site. Having a blast re-building Fort Bragg! And for all who are curious, Lee Hughes is the Safety Manager on a US embassy construction job down south (almost complete).

Hey Mac, Just got back from vacation in DC and thought I would pass some info on a new memorial. While touring Arlington Cemetary my family and I went into the Military Womens Memorial and found a memorial inside of all those lost in Afghanistan and Iraq. I saw many of our brothers pictures. It was very sad but then again it made me prouder than ever to say I served with many of these heroes. If anyone is going to DC this is a must see memorial. Thanks and God Bless to all our brothers keeping us safe.

 I found all of you!! I have been poking around online looking for someone who would have known about my husband's father and hasn't forgotten about him: William E Jerkins. I have read a couple of paragraphs and am still viewing your site looking for any other info. A couple of days ago I came across the CC site and the photo of the memorial plaque for the four airmen that were killed in 67. We are so excited to know that was done! That small thought was so FANTASTIC. My husband is David and really very little has been related to him about when his dad died. We have photos too and I am looking for photos or any other info about his dad.

Could you help? We would be happy to have contact with anyone that recollects anything.  Thank you .........Mrs David William Jerkins

Click on the video and you will see one of the highlights of Annie and my trips. We made history as the first American couple to dance in the Panagbenga Parade in Baguio City. Panagbenga mmeans Flower in the Igorot language and the costumes we are wearing are that of the igorot. Just thought that maybe you could use a laugh.

Hi, I finally figured out how to find your website after hearing my daughter talk about it. I am TSgt John A. Chapman’s mom. I was surprised and delighted to see pictures of Val and the girls taken at your luncheon.

Ever since we lost Johnny, I have been so touched by all the loving kindness shown to me and my family by members of the special ops family. Last year I even got a phone call out of the blue from a former CCT friend of John. He wanted to come with another former CCT to visit me. We all went out to dinner and had a very nice evening. They called again a few weeks ago and we met for lunch. It makes my heart feel so good to know that Johnny was loved by so many people and they do not forget him.

This past weekend I went to Pennsylvania with my daughter and her family to visit Johnny’s grave on the anniversary of his death. It’s hard to believe that 5 years have gone by – it still feels like yesterday. Lori and Kenny named their little boy, John Chapman Longfritz. He will celebrate his first birthday this month.

We are so very grateful for all the honors bestowed on Johnny these past few years. He would be rather embarrassed by all the attention. I would never have imagined that he would be part of our history.

If any of your site visitors have any stories or photos of Johnny to share with me and my family, we would be so appreciative. My daughter and I would like to gather as many stories as possible to put into a journal for his daughters to read when they are older. Actually, all of us would enjoy reading them.

I recently visited Val and the girls and we attended RZ’s wedding to his beautiful bride, Cathy. May they have a long, happy life together.

Thank you for having this website. It’s wonderful to see all the togetherness it promotes. I sent my love to all the special ops people!

 Mac, Your site keeps getting better all the time. I keep hoping to see some of the missiong old 2nd Aerial Port guys find your web site, but maybe they are like Ronnie Holder, don't own a computer. Jerry Glass put me out on my cherry jump ( a night jump at that) at Sewart, and I put Steve Horvath and Don Mirabile out on their cherry jumps. I spoke with Don Mirabile, Jim Hiser, Art Lawrence, Skip Arnold, Moose Morris, Adam Heller, Dave McCracken, John Vohs, Bob Blowers, Gene Harris, and other 2nd Aerial Port teammates at the 50th reunion, plus I see Ben Sishman 2 or 3 times a year, but where are the others?

Hello Gang~ Some of you may have known my father, David L. McCracken. Unfortunately, last July he lost the only battle he ever lost when cancer brought his time with us to an end. Now I would love and treasure all you folks can share with me about my Dad. Tell me your stories, share old pictures, and whatever else that reminds of your time and experiences with my Dad. Please feel free to contact me via email at: melizclark@mail.utexas.edu Thanks so much!
