Hey Charles, You have put together a great website. I really enjoyed it. Now that I've seen the pictures I do remember you, particularly the pic of part of 2nd plt. on top of the Razorback for Christmas of 1966. Thanks for putting the link to my Website on your linkspage, I'll link your page to mine in the next day or two. I'll be back occasionally to see what you've added.

Great website. I was a Corpsman with Lima Co. but from Nov.'68-Oct.'69.We were based out of Con Thien and Quang Tri.
Great website. You honour those who served in Lima co. very well. What you guys went through is appreciated by those who did not. My father, John Krziwda was a corpsman in L co. 3/3. I'm very interested in learning more about your unit. If anyone remembers him, or would like to share info please contact me ASAP. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello Charles! First...Welcome Home! Second...I was with L/3/3 Oct.65-May 66. I was with Barber, Neener, Bruce and several of the others. Harvest Moon was the big one for me. Think I was the first one wounded that day, Dec. 9,1965. At least I was the first one in the tree line out of fire! I saw a bunch of guys come back there after me. I'll email you needing some info from you for another website. Semper Fi Marine, you get an attaboy for you website! John

T1:
This is Charles “Duf” Hudson. I was
with Lima 3/3 from August ’67 – November ’67
when I caught Malaria. I saw my name and numbers on the list you found in an
old notebook.
I was Squad Leader of the 3rd squad during the ambushes of 8/21 and
9/7 on the road to
Camp Carroll. I was the first one to get to Benny when he was hit with the 50
cal rounds
chasing the Army duster retreating. He was already gone.
I’ve been in some contact with some others, (mostly Leo Geyza, Stan Kerlin and
DocJohn Krzweda, now McBride). I didn’t go to the reunion, and there is not
much I seem to remember. I threw away all my notes and photos soon after
I got out,
(now I wish I hadn’t)
Do you know who the 3rd Squad’s radioman was during this period?
Whoever it is would remember the wild pig story while going out on a LP
one night from the Rockpile.
Just wandered onto your site and
thought I’d touch base.
