*************************************************************************** SPECIAL E-MAIL REQUESTS: (LISTEN UP) *************************************************************************** 187th Helicopter Assault Company | I remember when. I remember when we first got there, David E. Barnwell and Alfred L. Peterson, that's me, we had to learn fast on how to act. When we had incoming rockets and mortars, in 1968 they were chinese made 107mm and 122mm rockets, some recoiless rifle hits, you can't here those coming. None of this was taught to us in basic training, or AIT. Any way we learned that if you here a low pitch hum, hit it, the ground and lay flat as possible, then when you do not here anymore for a while, low crawl to the nearest bunker, never stand up cause it can get you killed. Never stand in any place more than 3-4 minutes, due to snippers around the perimeter of the base camp. When the planes landed and took off from Tay Ninh base camp, the aircraft were flown at a high angle, to keep from getting shotdown by small arms fire. To give you an example of how jumpy a person got after a year of that. When my father picked me up at LAX, we were going down the freeway at 70 miles per hour, and I was checking every nook and cranny on both sides of the road, for snippers, convoy speed was 35-45 mph, I gave myself a head ache so I put my hands over my eyes, and my head down, when my father asked me what was wrong I said I just had a head ache. Later that day, after being awake for 72+ hours I finally got to sleep, my step mother & father were at work, when the down pitch of a police car siren sounded like an incomming rocket, I was on the floor low crawling toward the bathroom, then I looked around me and realized where I was, and I was glad no one was there to see me. There are alot of things that we keep to our selves because no one would understand, you had to be there, and experience what happened to really understand what another person is talking about who has been there. *******************************************************'Papeless Archives' Vietnam War Titles VietnamWar.net A Saigon Party: And Other Vietnam War Short Stories Memories Are Like Clouds MemorableQuotations.com IntelligentsiaNetwork.com Veterans Administration Gateway to VA Health Care Department of Veterans Affairs Links Department of Veteran Affairs Site Map Information regarding VA Benifits: |

Pederson where going throughthe sachels of grenades taken off of the wounded.You see they use to put the grenades in the sachelswithout the pins in them, so all they had to dowas grab and through them. Well Moose, grabbed a grenade that the Cpt. got out, because the spoon started to flip, and he tucked it toward his stomach

RVN Gallantry Cross w/Palm-13 Oct 66-31 Aug 68, DAGO 48,71
Notes:
The Meritorious Unit Commendation is a mid-level unit award of the United States military which is awarded to any military command which displays exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service, heroic deeds, or valorous actions.
The Army Meritorious Unit Commendation was originally established in 1944 as the "Meritorious Service Unit Plaque". On April 6, 1966, the award was changed to a personal decoration, for wear on a uniform, with the ribbon established as a patch of scarlet worn inside a gold frame. Additional awards are denoted by oak leaf clusters.
Notes:
An oak leaf cluster or oakleaves is a common device which is placed on U.S. military awards and decorations (and those of some other nations) to denote those who have received more than one bestowal of a particular decoration. The number of oak leaf clusters typically indicates the second and subsequent award of the decoration.
Most military awards use bronze, silver, and gold oak leaf clusters. The higher ranking oak leaf clusters are issued "in lieu" of a greater number of lower ranking clusters, allowing a large number of award annotations to fit on a single ribbon. For instance, five bronze oak leaf clusters would be denoted by one silver and five silver by one gold.
Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm Medal
The Vietnam Gallantry Cross is a military decoration of South Vietnam which was established in August 1950. Also known as the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the Gallantry Cross is awarded to any military personnel who have accomplished deeds of valor or displayed heroic conduct while fighting an enemy force.
The Gallantry Cross is issued in four degrees, with a basic medal followed by higher degrees which are the equivalent of personal citations on an organizational level (also known as having been "mentioned in dispatches"). The degrees of the Gallantry Cross are as follows:
Gallantry Cross with Palm (Individual Award)
Gallantry Cross with Bronze Star (Regiment or Brigade citation)
Gallantry Cross with Silver Star (Division citation)
Gallantry Cross with Gold Star (Corps citation)
The devices to the Gallantry Cross are not worn simultaneously but instead are upgradeable to the next higher device which would replace the previous device for wear on the decoration.

Re: Warren R. Goldstein SSN XXX XX XXXX, AR20070006614 15 Briar Patch Road, Rochester, NY 14618
Dear Sirs:
In Introduction of myself, let me say that I am a friend and Army buddy of Mr. Goldstein.
This information is given in support of his request for correction of his Military Records and for the awarding him, the combat medical badge and the Bronze Star.
These awards were given to me while in the field with the
45th Portable Surgical Hospital in China, Burma and India in the years 1943-44.
I was the surgical technician in charge of the 45th surgical department. When I joined the 45th at Camp White we were being trained for combat duty.
We were issued carbines and trained in gas mask usage and in activities which taught us how to react under fire. Our Hospital consisted of 33 enlisted men and four officers.
After arriving in India, we were to fly the hump to China. However the Japanese were attempting an invasion of India and so our orders were changed and we were sent to the front in Northern Burma.
We set up the hospital as close to the front as we could get so that the litter bearers could carry the wounded to our hospital. The wounded started arriving before the hospital was completely set up.
As the front moved forward we packed up and moved forward with the Chinese command that we were attached.
Our next stop was at Kamaing Burma where we treated The Chinese and the British members of Wingate's raiders.
We were never assigned to any American forces and were always with the Chinese and I think this is why a lot of our work was never recorded.
Our next move was to Mogaung Burma where we continued to care for the Chinese and also some Burmese who needed our care. As the head surgical technician, I also did KP duty and guard duty.
The 45th was a small unit and all of us had to serve in many different capacities. We served where we were needed. Like the rest of us, the company clerk, Goldstein, did the same thing.
We carried our carbines where ever we went.
And at times, we came under gun fire. Luckily no one in the 45th was a war casualty, but we did and were in dangerous places many times. During the two plus years in the CBI area we were never quartered in a regular army camp site.
We were always set up in a area where we had to guard and provide for ourselves.
We traveled by trucks, boats, horseback and walking while carrying our equipment on our backs.
When the war was over, we flew to Shanghia where we were assigned to the Chinese forces who were to invade Formosa.
There was reason to believe that there would heavy resistance from the Japanese during the invasion.
Here again luck was with us and not a shot was fired.
For our support of the Chinese army, the outfit was commended by the Chinese with two different awards. Records of these awards were lost many years ago.
I received the order of the Banner in the Clouds after returning home.
The 45th served in 4 battles and always were assigned to the Chinese. We were a medical combat outfit in these 4 battles.
The 45th was the first and longest activated Portable Surgical Hospital.
I am now 85 Years of age. Our commanding officer will soon be celebrating his 95th birthday and Goldstein is 83.
We are the only surviving members of the 1st 45th* We recommend that the Combat Medical badge and the bronze Star be awarded to Warren Goldstein.
Former Head Technician of the 45th Portable.
I went to medical school after the war.
