I have scoured the site over looking for "A" Company Quarry workers. I can't seem to find any. I ran the old pony start "9" at the base course stockpile plus the new yellow D-9 that came in midway through my tour. Second and third shops were glad to see it. I also ran the 75 and 225 crusher that replaced it. Can't forget two 40 ton P&H shovel operators that threatened to slit my throat on Jack Daniels the first night in Nam. I told them to go ahead an slit it; at least I will get some sleep.

The 589th departed Oakland, Ca. on 10Apr67. Arrive Qui Nhon about 28 or 29 Apr 67 on the USS Pope. Will never forget that boat ride. We thought We had left heaven and arrive in hell. Weather was hot, the odor would knot you down. Thanks to God most of us made it.

To Al Williams - there are two John Marshall s listed on the Vietnam-wall.myarmedforces.c om web page. One was an Army engineer who was killed in action on March 30, 1968. The other was a marine. The other casualties listed on the web page for the Army engineer are from the 591st Light Equipment Company. In very early 1968 the 591st was attached to the 27th Engineer Battalion outside of Saigon. In March and April 1968 it moved by ship from southern Vietnam to Da Nang, and thereafter convoyed north over the Hai Van Pass. See pages 364 and 365 of "Engineers at War." The Hai Van Pass was a nasty area with ambushes being common at that time. As best I can tell, your friend was with the 591st.

To Joseph Seehorn - thank you for your comment about table manners. C Company guys were sophisticated. We ate our C rations sitting in the dirt using only the best of table manners - and ate slowly since eating was the only entertainment we had. Once every month or two we even had enough water to wash our hands before meals. We also became great cooks finding ways to combine C rations into various meals, sometimes using local vegetation for spices. The Agent Orange in the vegetation added extra taste, and the C4 demolition compound we used to heat the C rations probably also added to the taste. The smell of burning sh-t and diesel fumes added ambiance.
