I want to send out my thanks to everyone who served with my dad, Bob Lenczycki. He never wanted to tell me a lot about Vietnam, but I eventually got some info out of him in the eighties. I still have a paperweight that says "937th Combat Engineers" and I asked him about the white square on the red background. My dad flew a slick, and said the square was a castle, and that his call sign was castle 15 (if I remember correctly). He arrived at Qui Non and shortly after that the unit moved to Pleiku, and that he had a co pilot named Bob Yates. He went back to the states after one tour and was an instructor at Ft Rucker until I was born.

So everyone who served with him, I owe you my life, and the lives of my family. Thank you. My father passed away on 4 July 2007, but one of the last and most profound things I learned from him was the strong sense of family that he shared with everyone who wore the uniform, past and present - he never forgot you. God bless you all.

I served wthe the IFFV - First Field Force Vietnam in 1969. I was attached w/the 13thMHD. We observed actions and then produced operations report lessons learned. A lot of intervention with the ARVN. Not good! By the way, the patch for IFFV is listed incorrectly on the page. You have it as 2 Field Force. The sword pointing straight up is IFFV's. Thanks to all who served, we did the right thing no matter what the world thought of us then. Now we are heroes, ha!
Jack Clarke 22-Feb-2011 23:44
I came from Ft Bragg with HHC 159th Engr Gp (Const) to Long Binh 28 Oct 1965. Unit officially became operational 30 Oct under MACV. There was absolutely nothing there. They trucked us from the port and left us on the hill to dig in. From those (really) humble beginnings came the Long Binh military compound and ultimately the largest ( I believe) US military installation in Vietnam. I served as E-5 in HHC 159th and rotated out May 1966.
Bob Mims 19-Feb-2011 17:32

I hate to tell you this but the caption under first and second Field forces are transposed. The caption stating that the patch is of the second field force is actually the first field force. I served in that unit in 1955/56.

Jared Parascand 13-May-2008 01:41
My father is Gary Parascand....I have his Kangaroo Pin, and 5-6 photo albums full of pictures from his time in Vietnam. He passed five years back. I never really knew what he did or much about anything that went on over there. He never wanted to talk about it and I can respect that, but I've been curious. I know Sgt Benson (Ben) is living in Utah. My father and him talked before he passed. I actually talked with him as well. Hope all is well in your lives.

Mike - I was in the 79th Engineer Co. (Bridge Provisional ) In Long Binh between 1970-71 I was a Sp4 in the 3rd Platoon, served with Drake Nueman, Wayne Weinberger, Sgt. Benson, Gary Parascand. Having trouble finding out a lot of info about the old company. We had red kangaroos painted in the stars of our equipment. I recal hearing it was because we worked a lot with the Austrailian Engineers. Larry Wolfe, mrman317@comcast.net

The M.A.A.G. Vietnam patch must have been authorized after I left country in 1952. At the time I was in country (Sept 51 to Nov 52) we were known as M.A.A.G. iNDO-CHINA.
