Most of the material below, both news articles and photographs, is from a
collection I rescued from Dau Tieng in 1970 and forwarded to the 25th
Infantry Association in late 1999. The material eventually found
it's way to Alpha Association President, Bill Comeau. The Alpha
Association consists of veterans of Alpha Company 2/12 Infantry who
shipped over to Vietnam from Ft Lewis, Washington, or who joined the
Company during it's first year in Vietnam. Bill was generous
enough to scan the material and forward it to me for this site. At
the outset, I want to apologize to those of you who are using regular
analog modems to access the web. Many of these images are big and
will take a long time to load. I tried my best to reduce the file
size as much as possible, but in most cases the text was almost unreadable
unless I maintained healthy file sizes. If you are on a cable modem
or DSL, then you won't care one way or another. I have not, in most
cases, captioned the images, since they are either self explanatory or I
can't identify the content. When possible I have captioned them.
I direct your attention to the first picture
below. It is of the 4th Infantry troops looking at the coast of
Vietnam from their transport. Ron Fazio, who has a page on this site
was the last member of the 2/12 in Vietnam. As the HHC company clerk
he was the last man to sign the roster ending the unit's presence in
Vietnam. We come full circle. |
