Looking for an H/2/7 Vietnam Marine or Corpsman?
We don’t publish a
list of names and addresses at this time. We realize not everyone wants
their personal information on the web so we do our best to honor their
privacy. However, in the future we will poll our membership and
get their input on this subject. But for now, specifics will not
be published on this site. Stay tuned.
There are about 2,000
un-located Hotel Veterans. Identifying and locating these individuals is
an ongoing process and requires hours of labor and significant cost. So,
if you’re looking for someone
give us as much information as possible. A
full name, including middle name is helpful. Where were they from? In
what city did they attend high school? If you’ve heard from them since
Vietnam, where were they residing? Who did they work for? If married,
what is their wife’s name? The more you know the more we can help.
We don’t honor blanket
requests. As an example, don’t ask us to send you names and addresses of
everyone in 1st Platoon in 1966. We simply don’t have the time or
resources to honor requests such as these. If your contact with these
people is important to you, come to a reunion (believe me you won’t be
sorry).
If you know of a US
Marine or Navy Corpsman who served with H/2/7 in Vietnam, and think it
doubtful we do not have information on them, please
contact us and we
will ask them to join our most informal association.
Why do we bother with
all this? Fair question, that has three answers. First and foremost we
go to great lengths to get the word out about reunion gatherings. We
have them every two years and rotate the location around the country.
We’ve had people come from as far away as Guam and they didn’t regret
it. Second, it puts me (the webmaster) in touch with veterans who can
provide information for a book I’m writing about H/2/7. There’s a
separate web page describing this effort. Just click on the link titled
H/2/7 Book Project. Last, if you’ve ever seen the look on someone’s face when they recognize someone to whom they entrusted their life, you feel rewarded beyond your wildest imagination. |
