| Please enter your comments: | Dear Fellow Cacti, It is only five weeks to the annual Cacti Reunion; a truly blessed gathering of some of the mightiest warriors ever. July 25-28, Doubletree Hotel Seattle Airport. The Association Officers are hard at work ensuring all involved will have as good a time as possible. As many of you may know, the discounted room rates are based on us delivering a previously agreed to occupancy rate. This year, we are running very close to that promised occupancy rate number and may have to decide to guarantee a smaller number. This would mean anyone wanting rooms after that date might have to pay the normal rate. We would really hate to see that eventuality but we must also protect the Association financially. So here is what you can do to help. Today, right now, make your reservations at the Doubletree and mail-in your reservation forms. We see updated lists of both weekly and I know several of you who are coming are not registered yet. By doing these two simple tasks, you will be doing a great service to the Cacti. See you all in Seattle!

He turned 25 in December...came home for Christmas, and we got married...then I turned 19 in March. He came home and stayed 2 weeks and then, OFF TO PARADISE! He's anxiously awaiting my arrival, and I am, too. I miss him so much, but love can withstand all measures and something that is meant to be always has trials and tribulations before lots of profit sets in. We're waiting! Hope y'all leave your loved ones a message...and I hope they see. Robert D....if you're reading....I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE! See you, hopefully soon....bye sweetie! |

I thought it would be a wonderful surprise to put him in touch with any of his buddies. He does not have email..please email me direct! I've been writing many of our current deployed Military Troops for a while and it is really rewarding to bring cheer from home to them. My dad is pretty proud of that and is just swelled with pride for his service to his country. Thank you all and God Bless our Vets, our current Military and God Bless America! |

Eddie Merrifield, Zalman Scherer, Gary Porus, Bernie Portman and/or anyone else who recalls the cold winter of 1954; the convoy move to south of the 38th parallel in the spring '54; the Div Officers Mess and Generals Mess; the attached Turkish Brigade; the typhoon that blew the Camp down the night before we shipped out of Inchon for Hawaii. Yikes. Col. Fr Rafferty (I think his name was) bought us champaigne from the Officer's Mess and as our party raged on the typhoon took all our tents down on top of us! We all got sick on the Landing Craft in the harbor in the morning. Hawaii was like another world -- like paradise of course. Lots of good memories. Been back several times with my wife but it is definitely a different place today. Hope to hear from anyone -- John "Van" Fahy |

The weekend is filled with events leading up to the dedication. The Memorial will list the names of the 1537 men and women from Massachusetts who lost thier lives in Vietnam. A number of them served in the 25th Infantry Division. I was wondering if the 25th Assocication was organizing any participation in this event and if so I would like to help out. If not I would be willing to organize something. Drop me a note if you would be intersted in attending. I know of 3 25th vets that will be listed on this memorial: George O'Neill KIA 9/28/66 I believe George was an FO for Arty. John Holman KIA 5/31/69 25th Avaition. Michael Buochard KIA 6/3/70 Recon 2/12th. For more info on this event the Web site is www.massachusetts-vietnam-veterans-memorial.org Peace Don |

| Please enter your comments: | Just thought I'd drop a line to all of the tropic lightning on this " Memorial Day " God bless you all!!!!!! For those that didn't return I am humbled at your sacrifice! For those of us who did " Please remember those who didn't! " We are once again at a turning point in our history. I believe that there will be sacrifices ahead and hope that we have the grit to take them in stride. In some small way , we , the veterans of the most vilified war in our history have a chance once again to prove our mettle.we never lost a battle of any consequence, and accomplished all that our superiors asked of us.We complained, but did the job in keeping with the highest traditions of the military in any war that this nation has fought. I am proud to have been a member of the "tropic lightning" and even more-so as a member of the 4/23/25. Paul North is a wonderful guy, as well as all the men who make this site possible. Please support them with any and all help that is necessary to keep our service alive!!!!!!!!! God bless you all on this Memorial Day!!!!!!!!! Jeff H MohawkBravo 16/46 |

| Please enter your comments: | I return here occasionally to see if there is anybody out there that was stationed in either Tay Ninh or Dau Tieng during Tet with me. I was in Commo and have made one contact since, by the internet. On warm summer nights when the frogs and crickets are out, the ground is damp and I can smell the remnants of burning brush, I am transported back thirty five years to a place that holds many bitter-sweet memories. I find as I get older, I think about that time more often. I don't want to ever forget. Memorial Days seem to effect me more as the years go by. God Bless all of you. |
