Korea VA-923 Attack Squadron

Comments: I know our Korean vets are leaving this world at an alarming rate these days. I was wondering if anyone on the bulletin board might remember my father, Lt.CDR John J. O'Sullivan (pilot). He was in Attack Squadron VA-923. The squad C.O. was Commander Herb Wiley. I've been going through some old pictures and have many I would share, if a family member would contact me. Among those photographed include Jim Savage, Bill Conboy, Charlie Badowitz, Dee Radd, Jim Dagan, Ed Whelan,Harold Reutabough and Robbie Renard. I believe Jim Savage was KIA. I know that Cmdr. Wiley has passed away along with Robbie Renard and Dee Radd. Anyone with any stories or connections, feel free to contact me.

I spent my last Viet Nam cruise on the Bon Homme Richard in 1969 and was flown home before we ended the cruise. I paid for the cruise book and was to have it mailed to me, but it never arrived.
