23rd TFW
Posted by Douglas Stubbe on 3/11/2013, 15:02:24
I am a County Veterans Service Officer assisting a former member of the 23rd TFW withn a VA claim. He claims that after departing from McConnell AFB on a tdy mission to Takli Mar - Aug 1965, that in Hawii, approx 18 members - including him - were pulled aside and sent on a different route that took them through Wake Island, Guam, Okinawa, Da Nang, and then on to Takli to be reunited with the rest of the unit. I cannot find anything in the form of manifests, orders etc that confirms this information. He remembers two people: Hoppy Hopkins and Donald Kesseler. Can any of you help? Thanks.
