Shady Glen Ave Anderson, David H. "Andy"4151 West Meadow Drive Like my fellow Marines on this list, I served with the Best of the Best 1967-68. There is much I could write... but the following by President Theodore Roosevelt said it all: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I have fond memories of my unit while in Nam from August 1968 to April 1969. The one individual who stands out most to me is Sgt. Blunt who was my squad leader. One September 30, 1968 I was shot in an ambush. Being a radio operator, I was an obvious first target. Sgt. Blunt, knowing we were under fire, told me to get up and get going, not realizing I was just shot!!! I can't say enough for the individuals who came to assist me under serious enemy fire!!

estate in the Research Triangle Park area of central North Carolina. I am
looking forward to the F/2/5 reunion in San Diego this summer. What a reunion! It was successful in so many ways: old friends and new ones having a good time for three (plus) days; great sponsorship and hotel (thanks, Donna and Sam Henderson); and fine progress on Fox’s book, Battlelines. I’m writing to profusely thank all the men who so willingly helped Tiffany and I with the book. We covered all eras of the war in which Fox participated, less 1970-71 which we’ll address at the start of 2005. Tiffany and I interviewed various sets of Marines in 5 four-hour sessions. I can now assure you that we have 90% of the material we need. I am hoping that we are finished writing and editing the history of Fox by next February or March. By that point we’ll merely have the publisher to deal with. Bottom line is: if the book isn’t available for you to read in June, I am going to be mighty upset. For more on the book, look at the web site: www.battlelinesbook.com. There you fin comments made by various folks who had been given an early draft about the July 1968-January 1969 era. (That’s the time I was with Fox. I did that first to gain the feel of writing a historical fiction.) Tiffany does the heavy editing--in some cases rewriting. I have sent drafts copies of chapters to others who served in the same era to insure the storyline is valid. So we’re moving along. Updated 11Nov04 116 Tiercel Ct.

Dull, DonI served in China at the time of the Communist take over in 1946. I was in the 1st MP co. 1st Mar. Div in Tientsin. In 1947 most of the division was shipped to Guam to avoid further hostilities with the Commies. I was assigned to F/2/5 First Marine Brigade. The Division was downgraded to a Brigade at that time, not to regain Division status until the Korean War. The service on Guam was quite mundane. The towns, Agana and the like, were out of bounds. Spent most of our time at the Company's slop chute, feeling sorry for ourselves and drinking that ten cent 3/2 beer. The beer was bad, but the company was good. P. O.

Haehnel, RobertI was with F 2/5 when the unit left Camp Pendleton in January
1966. After training in Okinawa, we arrived in Chu Lai, Vietnam around March. We
settled in on Hill 69 until the unit was moved to the DMZ in August for
Operation Prairie. After the campaign ended we moved to Dong Ha at which time
the remaining 7 to 10 of us original grunts were transferred to a unit I can't
even recall to spend our last 30 days with this group headed back to Okinawa. We
never made it as we "didn't fit" and had too much fight left in us and
were subsequently reassigned to another unit back in the bush for our remaining
time. We did survive that last month holding a bridge and supply route to 2/5 in
An Hoa. I remain best friends with Frank R. Castro, also from the original unit,
who is now living in Las Vegas. rbhaehnel@comcast.net Updated 02Aug03 Haley, Pat"Water Bu"I WAS IN ROCKETS, THIRD PLATOON FROM JAN 67 TO FEB 68.
