| My name is Randy Richmond, a member of the 402nd Transportation Co. (terminal transfer) from Jan 69-Oct 70. The 402nd was originally part of the 11th Trans Bn. located on TC Hill on Long Binh Post. In April 1968 they moved from TC Hill to Camp Camelot. In June of 1968 they were reassigned from the 11th Trans. Bn. to the 71st Trans. Bn. Operational control of the Buu Long, Cogido, and Dong Nai Barge Discharge Sites and Ho Nai Railhead were also transferred to the 71st at this time. Later in 69 they were once again assigned to the 11th Bn. and then to the 159th, which was, I assume, the last of these moves. Several of us had the distinction of serving in all of these three different battalions at Camp Camelot without ever leaving the same hootch or bunk for that matter. It has been and continues to be a real joy to myself, Al, and many others, to remain in contact, share one another's company through reunions, emails, etc. And also to fill in various pieces of the puzzle of the many years and vistas of what was Long Binh Post, Vietnam. Thank you Al for your friendship and for providing this wonderful place for all of us to display "our" pieces of that puzzle! |
