My brother, Sergeant Dale Lee De Wolf, served with the 377th Security Police Sqdn, 377th Air Base Wing 13th AF.

I am searching for any information regarding him.

He passed away a year before I was born, our father passed away when I was young and I never got to know anything about my brother.

His service picture had always hung on my wall and I'm very proud of his service, but I'd love any information or stories anyone had about him.

My email address is above. I'd love if anyone has stories or memories of him, I'd truly appreciate it.

I'm writing to sign your guestbook for the 377th Security Forces Webpage.

My father was Earl Simonsen. He was stationed at Tan Son Nhut ~Jan 1968 to Feb 1969 as the 377th SPS Superintendent.

We're not exactly sure what date he arrived as his military records were destroyed during the St Louis Records fire. During his tour in Vietnam he pinned on Chief.

I have most of his military records but I am missing his EPR from Jan-Jun 1969.

We were always told that the arrived that he arrived right as Tet was kicking off.

What would be the best way to try to find people who may have known him? If you would like, I could send you a photo of him during his time in 377th.

I am sorry to tell you that Gene Hawkins has liver cancer.

He will have surgery on July 11, 2018 at the Michael E. De Bakey VA hospital in Houston, TX.

The address there is 2002 Holconbe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030.

Gene is in good spirits. He would like to pass on to his buddies that they should have their livers checked.

Apparently there is a parasite that buries itself in the liver. Many Vietnam veterans are suffering from this ailment.

Gene handled "Eric" A939 from August 1969-1971.

Here is a photo of Gene and his wife Vicki.

You will see that a brand new video has been posted. It is 28 min 17 sec long.

This video was created by Tim and Patty Clifford for the 2018 377th SPS Reunion in Albuquerque.

On my computer, it loaded up the entire video before it started to play.

Please be patient as it loads. It took approximately four minutes to load on my computer.

Comments:  A friend of mine has come across some memorabilia of TSgt Roy D. Brooks, Tan Son Nhut Air Base, 1966 - 1967 time frame.

David Fox, purchased the grouping on eBay from a military dealer in Cape Girardeau, Missouri

1.  Does anyone know if TSgt Brooks is still alive?

2.  Does anyone know where TSgt Brooks might be buried at, or have his obituary?

3.  Does anyone have a good photograph of him?
