"Helping Veterans Find Veterans"

"41st port construction" by randall My name is Randy Clark. I am looking for anyone that was assigned to 41st Port Construction out of Long Binh during Nov 68 through Oct 70. I was from Ohio and was known as 'Red C’ because there were two of us with red hair and he was called ‘Red whatever his initial was’. I lived on the 1st platoon pile-driving barge and was a lead climber. I am trying to find anyone who knew me or served on that boat. If anyone has any pictures of our company flag, emblem, etc, or any pictures of the unit please contact me. (mailto:bobbiekayc@wmconnect.com) I’m especially interested in knowing if anyone can remember the hill across the highway from our company area at Long Binh that the VC had tunneled into and from which they attacked the perimeter “one night”. After a night of fierce fighting that included big guns, Cobras, napalm, bombers and fire from the perimeter, by morning the hill was gone. We were told later that there were 200-300 VC in that hill. Does anyone remember the stench for months after that attack? If so, do you remember when this occurred or have any pictures of it? Also, does anyone remember the crane tipping over with two men on the leads? One came up and one didn’t. Again, any dates or pictures? Does anyone remember the crane operator unloading too many I-beams from the left side of the supply barge and it flipped over. If so, can you tell me what you remember (where, when, pictures) and how did we recover it. If you were on that boat, do you remember the evening we were test firing our 50-cal and a tracer went astray and killed a little girl in her hooch? Do you remember what happened after that and what we did and had to do? If so, could you please tell me what you saw, what you heard, what you felt. Does anyone remember pulling guard duty at night on the boat, shooting anything floating up or down the river (boxes, logs, bodies, whatever) to protect our boat from floating mines or booby-traps. Remember dropping concussion grenades every so often to ward off any submerged swimmers that just might be planning to do us harm (the barge that is). If anyone has any information about any of the above incidents or has been in contact with any of the other guys please contact me.
