Dear Leonard,

Thank you for your service... You all may hear that a lot.. but we indeed are appreciative...

Also, looks like you are looking for your buddies...have you also tried looking for some on Mike Dunn's site? Mr. Willliams, the administrator, owner of this site mentions him in his opening statement at the beginning of the site...

the link is here.. however , if it does not work, you could try just google searching for Mike Dunn's 355th TFW group...

I wish you best of luck finding your buddies... I always try to list the date my Daddy was stationed and where... I also include what he did and on the site below I also included my Daddy's picture...

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you more... I have been trying for two years to find a buddy of Daddy's ... I found one.. and was very grateful however, in the meantime , I have met the greatest most wonderful Veterans...

susie - see link below.

1968 thru 1969. Eb-66 crew chief. We did run up for engine check all the time. The foliage was killed with some kind of
Defoliant . We also had to pull guard Duty around the perimeter . Did you have to do that also. If you did you can help me.

Neal,
When I was at Takhli in 69-70 it was pretty common to be pulled for augmentee perimeter guard duty working with the Security Police. Many guys did that duty. I did it for a full month shortly after I arrived at Takhli. There was nothing in my records about it which is something that both shocked me and pissed me off. I did it and still have clear memory about that experience but there was nothing in my records.
I think I saw your email address post in another of your postings on this site. I've got a document I'll send you that should be some good evidence you can use concerning augmentees. It's something that you should definatly use in your claim process.

I am doing all the leg work for my father, Farriel Britt, who was at Takli in 68. 779th TAC, 464th TAS pneudralic repairman on all C-130 assigned there. Possibly did perimeter guard as well. Having trouble establishing boots on ground and need all the help I can get. I have complete service records, but no "golden nugget" to seal the proof. Claim submitted 02/12 and still waiting. I had the VSO do an expedite due to advanced prostate cancer and complete prostectomy plus added to the AO national registry. But VA still wants boots on ground. Thanks mbritt275@hotmail.com
