Comments: I'm an Active Duty Army Officer with 23 years of service currently stationed with US Army Forces, Okinawa.
I've spent a total of five (5) years active duty with U.S Forces, Korea (2 ID:'76-77/8th U.S Army:'94-98). I took part in "Operation Paul Bunyon (Aug'76)".
I have two cousin's (F Marty, A Acevedo) and one uncle (I. Alvarado Cruz) who were all members of the 65th In Reg, 3d ID. All received Combat Infantryman Badge's. All made it back safely. This is a family heritage that has left me damn proud. I do have one other cousin who served with 5th Marines (T. Colon) who returned with post tramatic stress, he and his family still suffer from it today- Semper Fi.

Comments: I am thrilled to find your web site, and amazed (understatement) that you have a listing for my uncle, David VanCott Radcliffe.
My middle name is VanCott, after my uncle, who died before I was born. I keep the name VanCott on all official documents (diplomas and such) out of rememberance and love for him.
Thank you so much for including this fine man, who died far too young, in you data base.

I AM TIRED OF SEEING WAR MOVIES AND NOT A MENTION OF THE ALL PUERTO RICAN 65TH ARMY DIVISION. WHENEVER YOU SEE A VIETNAM MOVIE THERE ARE NO PUERTO RICAN SOLDIER PARTS. SO BY FINDING THIS SITE IT GIVES ME PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE AND SHARE THE HISTORY OF OUR SOLDIERS AND TO MOVE FOWARD TO MAKING SURE THAT THE DAY OF THE "REAL STORIES OF OUR FIGHTING MEN BE TOLD " FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW.THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE AND MOST IMPORTANT SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH ME AS WELL AS OTHERS.
