My Vietnam Photos - Roll Call Page

18th Brigade, 45th Group, 39th Engineers, Company D

I kept a diary while I was in Vietnam. Most of the names listed below are names that appeared in my diary at least once. Most of the information in the Notes column came from my diary. Some of the information came from comments that guys have placed in my Guest Book. Some of the names may not be spelled exactly right. I sincerely apologize for that. I probably just tried to spell the names the way they sounded to me. Some of the names have links to other sites and to photos on this site.

Applebey, Frank		D	1969 - 1970
Ankney, Randy		D	Supply Sgt. Company D, 39th Eng. I arrived in country Dec. 1967 after hitch hiking from Anchorage Alaska where I missed my plane which had been grounded by a snow storm. I was originally supposed to be in Cam Rhan Bay, but the medevac I hopped in Japan, took me to Ben Hoa where my orders were changed and I wound up with the 39th. I wish I had pictures but your site has brought back memories, some good and some bad. One memorable moment some of you may recall was the trip by transport ship from somewhere south to just north of Da Nang. It was about an eighteen hour ride, and most of us got sea sick. I've lived in Alaska now going on twenty years. I'd like to hear from anyone that served with me. E-mail: kfisher@mtaonline.net (as of Feb 8, 2013)

Dooley, Joe "Dool"		C	Hello, my name is Joe Dooley but was known as "Dool". I was with C Company, 39th from 6/6/67 to 4/27/68. I served on a hill (can't remember the name ) for a short time and then moved to LZ Dragon for the rest of my time. My main job was mine sweeping and my weapon of choice was an M-79. I was Ben Brothers replacement and the day I got there he was killed by a mine about 1 hour before I arrived. He was set to leave country in a few hours but some dumb ass Lt. sent him out to remove a mine). I would love to know who gave that order. I was a member of the 3 platoon /3rd squad. In my squad was Scotty Smith, Don Hasting, Bill Ray, John Moretti,Dodson, Boston and few I just can't think of their names. Our sergeant was a guy by the name of Rinney (could be the wrong spelling) and our Lt. Gorthardt. Our captain in my early time was Kelley followed by Scholl. I still can smell the odors of Mo Duc and the surrounding area. ( I think that is sometime you will never forget). I remember missing a mine and our jeep driver Billy Smith was killed along with 2 other soldiers and the only survivor was a Chaplin . They were on the way to Duc Pho to conduct services. If any one can help me get in touch with any of the soldiers I served with it would be greatly appreciated. Though the internet I have made a new friend and his name is Butch Schwoyer who was on LZ Snoppy where he won a Bronze Star with a "V" for valor in connection with the large battle. Thank you for your site and the opportunity with the possibility to get in touch with some of our soldiers. If you need any pictures I have a very nice collection.

Grimm, Fred			I am Fred Grimm and served with the 39th Engineers on LZ Dottie from April 1969 to August 1969 when I was wounded along with Bob Griffin. I was wounded after spending only 4 months in country and feel so blessed that I survived that Aug 12th evening attack. Just last year, 2011 I got a call from my company commander LTC Bruce Haigh. He told me about the attack and that a great bunch of engineers fought off VC and NVA troops who wanted the big guns that recently arrived on the LZ. I have had the opportunity to go back to Vietnam 11 times in the past 11 years. So, now, I finally have my one year of service in. Went to LZ Dottie and found the bunker where I was wounded. What a feeling that brought. I will be going back to Vietnam again on Jan. 17th, 2013 and would love to have any 39th Veteran join me. I am part of a group out of Toledo, Ohio that helps the less fortunate in Vietnam. Visit our website at: www.dovefund.org Peace and love to all of you, and thank you for serving. Welcome home!

Parker, Buck			I was assigned to the 39th in late Feb. or Mar. of 71. Like Baily my memory of the time is sketchy at best. While we worked on the road to Tien Phuoc we had a guy we called "Reb" that had his hand blown off by VC grenade while operating a grader. Also I remember a guy that ran over a mine with a scraper. This guy was later awarded the Purple Heart. On the steep hill we set up a camp overlooking My Lai later that summer. Not really sure as names escape me. I do remember Edward Pugh, a buck sgt. at that time. Larry Hemphill a Spec5. and John Brown a Spec4. I met these guys at Tam Ky. John Brown drove a 5 ton and was from Charleston, SC. I believe. I do remember Mac McBride as he arrived a few days after I had at Tam Ky. He was dubbed "Cruit" and was still called "Cruit" when we processed out of country together from Long Binh. Ski (Marshall Watchinski) and Mac rebuilt the engine in my 280 after I blew it up on the road built by My Lai. They did a great job and had it rebuilt in record time. They were top hands at their job. Buck Parker E-mail: buckcp@bresnan.net

Troesch Jr., Command Sgt Major Orville W. (Buck), retired		A	Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Orville W. Troesch, Jr. "Buck". I served twice in the 39th, my first time was September 1969-September 1970, as 3d Platoon Sergeant, Company A, at Chu Lai, LZ Max, LZ Snoopy, LZ Bronco, LZ Dottie, NDP No Name. My platoon Leader was 1Lt. Alfred E. Mack, Company Commander, Captain Elliott, and First Sergeant Holsey Tinsley. Among other things we were detailed as infantry to provide security for the 630th Light Equipment Company who was installing 60" culverts in QL1. We repaired the bridge hit by artillery strikes at Song Go Ma River and built a complete new bridge at Song Ve. In between times we performed mine sweep operations for the 6th Infantry Brigade and convoy security from Chu Lai to Quang Nhi. Later in my Army career I served as First Sergeant, A Company and Headquarters and Headquarters Company at Fort Devens, MA. This tour began in 1974-1976.

Never, before or after, have I served with or even seen such a fine, capable, cohesive and brave group of men, such proven veteran NCOs and our many humbling, astounding brand new NCOs, led by our terrific XO and platoon leaders.
