I was stationed at Phu Cat from 68 – 69 and was a special purpose vehicle repairman in the motorpool. Sorry I didn’t know your dad, but I did recognize several of the pictures. Sometimes it seems like an eternity ago, and other times like it was just last year.

Kudos to the people behind the show. If there is something that I always love to see, it’s going to theatres; dance, choir, musicale, drama, etc. There is just something about them that makes me interested.

Aww, I could only imagine the pain you must have felt after learning that. I wish my Penelope wouldn’t get one of those. I’ll be hoping and praying for Maggie’s wellbeing.

I recently hiked up the highest peak in Vermont and on my way down passed a guy with those 5 toes sock/shoes. At first I was amused, but I respected the guy for making the hike and later heard an interesting radio program discussing the various schools of thought.
I think the jury is still out on this for me.

I was stationed at Phu Cat, with the 421 mms, from May of 69 to May of 70. Went to Danang to help EOD with the munitions storage facility mishap just outside Danang Air Base. Proud to have had the privilege to serve. Welcome home brothers and sisters and God Bless our fallen comrades..

Comment on Berlin Borough Fireworks by Kevin

Kevin — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:35:23 +0000

Great shots. A lot of the places in our county that normally present fireworks didn’t do so this year, largely due to the Minnesota government shut down. Really a shame as this is probably one of the first years we didn’t get out to see any.

Was stationed at Phu Cat from May 67 thru May 68 with Steve McGonigal
and Roy Olsen. Steve and I stay in touch weekly via e-mail. Haven’t located
anyone else, but hoping. The years have flown, but it only seems like yesterday
being at the “Cat”.

Sorry for the abrupt ending. The aggressive swinging of the bigger kids was about to take out a toddler!

Still, really awesome. If you see N,J,A, or C… don’t tell them my camera also takes video. It’s hard to get them to act natural when they know they are in a movie…

I was assigned to Phu Cat and was there off and on from 6/69 to 6/70 with the 903rd Aeromedical Evacuation Sq.. It was definitely one of the better spots to be in if you had to be in Vietnam. There was even a duck pond outside the front door of the 903rd’s hootch with a couple ducks that lived the good life there. Papasan took care of keeping the hootch clean and swept out, I think he spent a little too much time with his opium pipe though.

If anyone has pics of the front of the old 903rd hootch area and duck pond, I’d love to get copies of them. A website that had them for years is now down, I should have made copies of them

One nice memory of Phu Cat… it is where I watched our American astronauts make the very first moon landing on TV. I couldn’t believe I was able to watch that while in an air conditioned day room in Vietnam.

Comment on Valentine’s Day by Leslie

I hope the rockband songs include at least one love song. It’s a great honor to be loved and to have a child want to introduce you to his little community. I don’t think you are so short as to be considered as Frodo or Sam, so she likely didn’t teach in the Shire (or Frodo would NEVER have taken the ring if he knew the likely outcome). Great story and shows a different side to Mr. Valentine. Keep Taylor Swift in your mind and don’t worry about giving someone a gift in the future. Clearly, as stated in this article, your gifts are something for a Valentine that cannot be produced by Hallmark, Pajamagrams or Vermont Teddy Bears. This is the best example of what Valentine’s Day should represent that I have seen. – JC

My name is Thomas Kallay. I was in the 421st Munitions Maintenance Squadron at PhuCat, VietNam from February 1967 to August 1968. When I arrived at PhuCat, the munitions dump was not built yet. The runway was still under contruction. I worked with 6 or 7 guys in EOD which had a tent near where the bomb dump was being built. When we finally set up the two tents at the bomb dump entrance, it must have been around April or May of 1967, I planted two banana or palm trees in front of the tents. I first started work in a tent that recorded the bombs that would be loaded on the F-100 and F4C fighters. I did this for 6 or 7 months, then made a change to night shift and performing the loading of the flatbeds and loading of the bombs on the fighters. I was in Siagon on a 3 day R & R when the February TET offensive (February 1968) took place. I left PhuCat August 18th, 1968 and mustered out of the Air Force in Seattle, Washington. This website has bought back many memories for me. I still pray for the MIA’s left behind over 40 years ago.

WEAR THE HAT was another chant shouted at Tim Furlong everytime he interviewed a mummer with a hat…

Also… SHE NEEDS A HUG, (or worse), at any female person that did any correspodence on air. But seriously, it was a kinder gentler crowd, more families…
