If you are in the military you can ask for help through the Chin Hae base near Pusan South Korea.  Email them and \n\nSupport@chinhae.sk.navy.mil\n\nThat is all I know.

This may seem too simple, but the best way to find the information that you're looking for is to talk to other Vietnam Vets. Good places to find them is at a local VFW or a Veteran's hospital. \n\nMy father server in Vietnam as well, and has only recently opened up about what happened to him there. I've herd the same happening with many other Vietnam Vets too. Something about the recent Iraq War has triggered many of them to talk after more than 30 years of wanting to forget about what happened. \n\nI have family in Vietnam to include uncles that served on both sides of the war. They seem to be easier about letting the past go than the American veterans. One of my uncles served almost ten years in a communist prison, had all his arms and legs broken many times and had his eye ripped out of his head. Even he has let the war go into the past. \n\nAnotehr good place to look is the Internet. There are hundreds of Web sites that haev very good information about the Vietnam War with the ones supported by veterans having the most accurate information. Don't bother with the government supported sites - they're still lying aobut what happened. \n\nGood luck with your reseasrch!

The young Marine is CORRECT!!  Guadacanal was our first major confrontation with the Empire of Japan.  After we took the island it gave us a piece of real estate to set up operations for Gen. McArthurs and Admiril Nimitz Island Hopping Campaign.  The airfield at the canal was a key element for our bombers to launch missions on other islands.  We owe our freedom to men like your grandfather.  If he is still with you, do me a favor and give him a big hug from me!  Hell from all of us I'd say!  God Bless Him!\n\nVery Respectfully,\n\nRJ

It was the Vietnam War.  Millions of gallons were used.  A whole lot.  Look it up on Wikipedia or do a google search.

If your country's basic infrastructure does not currently allow for this you must take it upon yourself to correct the situation. Do everything you can to improve the situation. Contact wealthy corporations or wealthy individuals and ask them to help you. I admire your courage and ambition. I admire your desire to improve your country. You sound like an altruistic individual. Vietnam needs more citizens like you. Don't give up. Don't take no for an answer. If you persevere you will be successful. You certainly have my respect.

It wasn't all that different from Iraq.  The US decided that we wanted to prevent communist domination, in this case of S. Vietnam.  We said it was to help freedom and democracy, but it was really about a power struggle.  So like the freedom fighters we are, we stuck or noses in to prevent S. Vietnam from Northern invasion.  However, the North had their own supporters like Russia.  As the war lingered on and the draft was forcing young men to fight a war that wasn't directly threatening our national security, a lot of people disagreed...many innocent victims, us and them.  War heros returned to an unpopular welcoming.  The famous boxer Mohammed Ali refused to go and they took his title away from him.  The whole thing sucked.  Not too many guys really wanted to go and many moved to Canada, if their number was picked.  Hippies protested with peace signs while the smoked grass and dropped acid.  I missed a lot of this...a bit young, but I know other guys that were there.  It was no picnic.  One buddy of mine was so ready to fight.  He was #1 in boot camp, ready to storm the beach.  He got his wish, first off the boat, stepped on a mine, blew his face off, lost an eye, half a nose, half a mouth, a bunch of hair, and a little brains, while Nixon and Kissinger watched this whole thing go down the toilet.  It was a stalemate.  Rambo couldn't do it justice.  We finally bailed out.

Kerry is a phony, a traitor and unamerican. He doesn't rate that silver star. He is no hero, just an opportunist, was then, is now. He should be tried for treason. Every combat marine in Vietnam was more of a hero than that jerk. They didn't get silver stars though. His wounds were petty and unworthy of three purple hearts. Who gets to go were they want to, and leave when they want to in a  combat tour. Only Kerry and Gore could do that.  I'm a former FMF Navy corpsman and proudly served with 3d Marine Division in Vietnam.

ask him what he served for, what he thought of the war, what he ate, any stories about being in vietnam, try to avoid asking about killing and combat unless he brings it up.  Also, ask what he served as (job title), what his basic job was (description), what he carried, what his conditions were like, if he got letters from his parents/wife, and what they said if so.  In an interview, most of the time the conversation will shift in a way where you don't have to answer questions anymore because he will be interested in telling you everything about what he did.

Lend lease act with the British and convoys.  Gearing up industry to supply the British, selling destroyers to the british, having americans on the convoys helped create sentiment if the ships were sunk.  The Flying Tigers in China, though officially and in reality a volunteer group.  It is said, that Chennault was assigned this mission.  The Americans had broken the Japanese main code and had not disclosed it publicly.  The government was aware something was coming.  The British on the other hand had gotten a hold of a german enigma decoding box and was holding the sailors from the German sub that was capture in America.  So, for months the government or the military was aware that war was coming, they did not know when.  And they were aware the most likely place would have been Pearl Harbor but, again they did not warn the commander of the information.  There has been speculation that when the US reduced trade to Japan that it forced Japan economically to start the war.  That is probably true.  The US had cutoff oil and steel to Japan.  \n\nThe second reference below, it is actually very true what he wrote.  All that has been written is true.  \n\nGood luck.

John Kerry should have been charged with treason back in the 70s when he met with the Vietnamese in Paris. The war was still waging and he met with them while wearing his full military uniform. Met them on his own not on the authority of our government. He betrayed his fellow soldiers then and he betrays out soldiers now.

Right now, Viet Nam has some of the richest oilfields in the world so they would likely be a good choice. Venezuela will help anyone NOT America or a friend of America so in my opinion, they would be the most likely choice. They are already sucking up to Cuba and Iran. The friend of my enemy is my enemy and all that. That scenario is where a very strong naval force would be very good to have.

Another Myth Buster!  The British did help the US in the Vietnamese war.  Their help was secretative.  And until recently (late 2005) those documents were classified.  See story: http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=74&ItemID=9837

Answer #1 is partially correct.\n\nHarry Truman created the Truman Doctrine, which basically indicates that the U.S. would assist any country or movement fighting communism. How much assistance was not specified though. Although the Truman Doctrine was not a direct treaty with South Vietnam, the doctrine and several incidents put the U.S. into a position of assisting South Vietnam with or without a treaty. \n\nFew remember that Ho Chi Minh was a renown communists when he asked Truman for assistance to remove the French from Vietnam and Indo China. That in mind, Truman would have been a hypocrite if he backed Ho Chi Minh and the communists against our French allies. This and other issues made our initial involvement in Vietnam and our support of South Vietnam a noble cause. However, the massive escalation of our involvement over the years that followed is questionable. \n\nThe U.S., South Vietnamese AND the North Vietnamese governments are all involved with cover-ups and misleading information about why the war had to drag on for so long and why so many on both sides died. Going further into this is not an issue of the question though.
