I just want to tell all of you new guests to this site that Ken Nelson deserves a great big THANK YOU  and perhaps a small donation for putting up this website.  He has done a tremendous job and has put a great deal of effort into this creation.  I can tell you from experience (in my business) that this would normally cost somewhere between $2000 and $5000 to create and maintain.  So if any of you have a few dollars to spare, please donate.  Also, let's keep this site active with e-mails, discussions, pictures, etc.  I personally love to come home at night and see or read what all of you have been doing.  I recently hooked up with a couple of my Marine Corps buddies and we reunite every year.  What a wonderful experience that is.  So PLEASE contribute.  Let's make this a site we can all be proud of.   THANK YOU VERY MUCH kENDALL BROOKS NELSON.  You get my vote for CLASSMATE OF THE YEAR.

Bill- I agree wholeheartedly. I attend annual reunions with Marines that served at Khe Sanh. Even though I didn't know many of them (my unit was the battalion scout/snipers and there were only 9 of us at the max) it is nice visting with folks that had similar experiences.

Ken- Thanks a lot for the info that you are providing. As you mentioned Kerno and I were very tight and still keep in contact.
