Comments: I was a flight operations coordinator with the 147th in Vung Tau from March of 1968 to March of 1969. I am the author of WHAT SHOULD WE TELL OUR CHILDREN ABOUT VIETNAM?, published in 1989 by The University of Oklahoma Press. It has been published in three different editions and is still in print. It is made up of 128 answers to the title question from such people as George Bush, Jimmy Carter, Barry Goldwater, Tom Hayden, Henry Kissinger, Timothy Leary, G. Gordon Liddy, John McCain, Country Joe McDonald, Robert S. McNamara, Oliver Stone, and William C. Westmoreland. Besides such well-known people as these, though, you'll also read answers from soldiers, POWs, nurses, refugees, writers, and parents of soldiers who were killed in the war. The book grew out of a cover-article I did for AMERICAN HERITAGE magazine (May, 1988).

Comments: I was with the 147th Hillclimbers from 68-70. I flew with WO Beyers, WO Creese, FE Bagley, CC Stump. Was shot down in Vin Longh Province in 1969. WO Beyers got the silver star and WO Creese got a purple heart. I would like to hear from these guys.

I remember the 1st sgt was Sgt Parker. Very few people do I remember today.

Would hope to go to the reunion and see some of these people.

Very good site... It is hard to find much info about the 147th.
