Hello. My name is Mike. My Father is Michael Frescas (SP4-Army). He served in Vietnam 1969-70 in the 9th infantry 3/60th (Dong Tam) and 5/60th (Rach Kien). He was a "River Rat". My father is alive and well. He will be 65 in November. When I was younger I remember him having this box filled with pictures from his time serving our country. We have few pics left. I came up with this idea to try and find people who served with him and present him with a present of his past. I would like to get some photos of him and/or his friends who served with him. His memory isn't all that great so I am working pretty much from scratch. He does recall a buddy named Steve who he made several trips off base with to go to Saigon. He said Steve was a surfer from California. Any photos or old stories with which my dad was involved would be appreciated. Thanks to all who served, are serving and those who will serve.

Does anyone remember SP/4 Austin (Wee Baby)?  He carried  an M-60 in 3RD Herd A/5/60. He was already in-country when I arrived 10/67. When did he leave Nam? Where did he go? Where is he? My wife and I attended the showing of "PLATOON" years ago. When the character "King", the black soldier with the gold tooth (Austin didn't have one) showed up on-screen, I jumped up and yelled, real loud, "AUSTIN!"….oops! Forgot where I was. Got lost in time. 10/28/67…On an incubus run to Saigon…ambush…10 seconds later, Doc Divecchio, Austin, and I were the three remaining, unscathed , members of 3rd Herd. 12/19/67…"Mech Infantry Navy"…I was up to my eyeballs in water, stuck in the mud, and sinking! A big black arm came out of the nippalm and pulled me out of the mud. 
Saved my life! …Thanks, Austin! I need to find him

I have recently come across the 5th/60th website, and I am trying to find out any information I can about my uncle, Cpt Edmund B. Scarborough. He was killed in action May of ?68. I was born that following July and given his name. Currently I have been serving proudly for 12 years and just returned from Iraq where I was for a year with the 82nd Abn Div. I am very interested in finding out every minute bit of information from anyone who knew my uncle and served with him in Vietnam. Currently I am at Ft. Jackson, SC serving as a Drill Sergeant. I can be reached at [email protected]

Thank you ahead of time for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,
SSG EDMUND C. SCARBOROUGH

I am looking for anyone who served with my husband, Frank Pawloski E5, when he was serving in the field in Sept.1969 through Feb. 1970 in Rach Kein. He was then sent to Go Devil Academy and trained troops in Tan An until July 1970. His address was Co-B 5th Bn. 60th Infantry when he was in the field. He was in the 2nd platoon (Bravo) and they served around Rach Kein from Sept. 1969 to Dec. 1969, then in the Plain of Reeds from Dec 1969 through Feb. 1970 but still out of Rach Kein. My husband had a very serious stroke in 1989 and I am trying to re-apply for VA benefits, because he told my mother that they sprayed Agent Orange right on him when he was in Vietnam. I assume that this was out in the field. They also ate out of half barrels with chain link fence over them during stand downs. I need to know if they had an Orange line on them. That would mean they contained Agent Orange at one time. Any information that I can get on this subject would help me. My husband is now non-verbal and cannot talk about Vietnam and never did before he had his stroke. He also has problems remembering many things about Vietnam. He does recognize the pictures, but not the names that go with the pictures.

I'm trying to find "RAGGMAN". He was a SGT in A/5/60 in '67-68'. Doc Divecchio has his last address listed as Greenwood, MS. I remember talking to him in Nam and that's where he called home. He was familiar with my Grandparent's restraunt (Pines Cafe) in Hamburg, Ar.  I've been calling the last known phone number, off and on, for three months. Always busy signal.  Finally wrote a letter.  Hoping it finds him.  Remember RAGGMAN? Anyone know where he is?

Looking for anyone who remembers an individual that went by the name of Bennie Smith.  It is believed he possibly served with Bravo Company and/or Headquarters Company as Recon Platoon Leader with the 5/60.  Anyone who knew this individual or anyone that may have this individual listed on any of their orders are requested to get in touch with the Secretary or Harvey Shapiro.


I am searching for more info on my uncle who was KIA in Bien Hoa. His tour dates were 12-01-1966 to 9-7-1967. He died of Multiple Fragmentation Wounds. Supposedly he had stepped on a land mine. His full name was Charles Gary Hamilton and he served with C co. 5 Bn. 60th Inf.  If anyone knew of him, was there when it happened, or has a picture of him or the entire company, that would be great!!!

Thank you very much,
Crystal Smith

I am looking for anyone who may have been in any of the following companies with David Donnelly, DeKalb, IL.:  Headquarters Co. 5/60th Inf. (5-5-67 thru 5-27-67 – Bear Cat); HHC 3rd Brigade (5-28-67 – 8-9-67) and Co. B 2nd/60th 8-9-67 thru 8-12-67. David was wounded on August 12, 1967 on a S&D mission that originated out of An Nhut Tan.  He died from his injuries on 1-1-68.  Two of the men that were with him on this mission were Sp.4 Gary Johnston and Sgt. Ted Maltezo.  Even after all these years I have so many unanswered questions I would like to hear from some of the men that he knew as he always spoke so highly of them and I often wonder how they are doing.  I know it has been a long time but he lives on in my heart forever.  He was in-country such a short time and was moved around quite a bit.  God Bless all of you who were there.  Thank you.  Dianne (Donnelly) Gautcher.  e-mail me at  [email protected]

I am attempting to locate anyone who was stationed with B/5/60 (Mech) when we were transfered over to the lst Division and became B/1/16 (mech) and moved from the Delta.


Billy J. Smith, 1LT Infantry, I believe was a platoon leader in the 5/60 Inf.  I do not recall what company.  We were in OCS at Benning and lived next to each other in Junction City, KS.  I was with B 4/39th, 9th Div.  I believe he was wounded in combat but remained in country/returned to his unit.  I'm sad to say he was KIA at the end of his 2nd tour as an advisor.  I believe it was near the same area he had served in his first tour.  Michael J. McCarson  Chapin, SC
