Email: Comments: I was going to buy five of the 377th Security Police Squadron Coins at the 2021 Reunion, in Nashville, Tennessee. I have mailed Patty a check today, for those five coins and shipping cost. I really like to give them out as gifts, to personal friends of mine. My recommendation is, "If you were going to buy a hat or coin, then go ahead and do so, at this time." | |

Email: Comments: Hello Everyone, I want to thank you for your prayers and support for Tim and me over the past month. I suspect you may know that my husband, Tim Clifford died on March 16, 2021. We were a team and enjoyed planning the reunions. I have given the reunion planning a lot of consideration and unfortunately, I cannot carry through with the planning and implementation of the reunion. While I would have loved to honor Tim and the men of the 6220th, 6250th and 377th it is very emotional and I came to the conclusion that I cannot give this event the focus/attention that is necessary to make it a success. I have worked with the hotel and have been released from the contractual obligations. Therefore, the September 1 thru September 5, 2021 Reunion in Nashville is cancelled. Any hotel reservation that you made will be cancelled by the hotel. Tim kept very accurate records and I will be sending your registration fee which you were kind enough to permit us to keep. Tim enjoyed planning the reunions but most importantly he valued the friendship and camaraderie from his SPS Brothers and at every reunion he made new friends with the first time attendees. I also developed new friendships and thank you for welcoming me into the SPS family. Thank you for understanding that at this time it is overwhelming and very emotional for me. When Covid is conquered and if anyone is traveling near the Pittsburgh area please contact me; I would be happy to renew the treasured friendship. My contact information is listed in the email address above. Once again, thank you for understanding this very difficult decision. Patty PS: Tim was prepared for the reunion. He had some coins and hats available for sale. Please see the attached below.  | |

Email: Comments: I got a call yesterday from Bill Wyatt. We had a good visit but he informed me that he is having respiratory problems with fluid building up around his lungs that is having to be removed. He asked me if I had heard if any of the guys we were stationed with had any similar problems and if it could be related to our exposure to Agent Orange and Malathion (the solution we dunked our dogs in). His doctors think he has Mesothelioma which is usually related to inhaling airborne fibrous material like asbestos. If you know of anyone we were with who might have something similar please contact Bill directly at: Email: Jim | |

Email: Comments: Brothers, Does it seem possible that it has been 53 years since we were young men defending Tan Son Nhut Air Base in the dead of night when all hell broke loose. I remember thinking "Oh Shit" when all of those tracer rounds went up at the departing freedom bird and I was never so thankful to see the sun come up. I remember feeling the heat from the napalm being dropped off of the west side of the base even though I was on Kilo 15 (the firing range). I know a lot of you were closer to the action than I was and I am glad you made it through the night. I remember everyone waiting around the kennels to make sure all of the K9ers were OK and Freddie Bachmann finally getting there with Dutchess in a stolen jeep from Red Horse because the SP relief truck wouldn't let him on with that "killer dog". When we went into the mess hall SPs and ARVN were shooting up at a radar dome thinking there was a sniper but when we came out of the mess hall they were bringing down a dead GI who was killed by friendly fire. I remember a lot of things from back then which may or may not have happened but one thing I remember is that you are my brothers. I love you guys! Jim | |

Email: Comments: Three newly added presumptive conditions, which are bladder cancer, thyroidism and Parkinsonism, or Parkinson-like tremor symptoms. If you are less than 100% disabled and have any of these conditions, file now. Even though you may have filed prior and claims were denied in the past and who were diagnosed with one of those illnesses should now file for benefits. I would definitely resubmit the claim. If you have not filed, submit the claim and get it into the VA system as soon as possible. Check with your nearest VSO or any other organizations that are filing claims for Vietnam Veterans. | |
