Dear troopers,
My twin brother,Douglas W. Decker was 11B in 1/50th Mechanized Infantry in Phan Thiet, from Oct 1969 to Oct. 1970.
He talked about whiskey mountain outpost. He went thru basic at Fort Campbell in Feb 1969, then Fort Polk and then to NCO training at Ft. Benning. He was about 5'9'' tall, wt. 135 lbs when in country, and had brown eyes and hair. I have films of him there and many picture I will give to your association. I would like to hear from anyone who knew him or served with his unit during this time. You can reach me at: yom24hrday@aol.com. or call me at 419 474-0992.
I live in Toledo, Ohio. Doug was on tracks, helicopters and by foot. He used 50 cal and m-60 along with m16 and 1911 45 that he only got to use on large rats. He didn't ever talk about his war time experiences before he died.
Thank you for any responses. I know it may still be difficult for you to even talk about Viet Nam, but I would love to hear from you just the same. I have many letters from Doug from Viet Nam and I hope to read them and gain some history from them and any names he may have mentioned. He has many poems he wrote also. I see there is a place to post poems, but how about letters from Viet Nam?
