I served with the 561 engineers 1967-1968 in sakon nakon thailand.
Im looking for information to support an agent orange claim and Im
trying to find any proof of my having boots on the ground in vietnam.
My transportation from california to thailand took me to hawaii then to
clark air base in the Philippines and then to Tan Son Nhat Air Base and
then to bangkok. This probably took place in Jan or Feb of 1967.
Can you help me?
