If you want your communication posted to the
public guest book, please use a subject line in your email like this:
Subject: (Guest Book yes) (Email no) The parenthesis and key
words Guest Book and Email trigger my programs and make it easier for me to post
your entry. The Yes or No let me know whether to post your message to
my guest book
and whether to post your email address along with the guest book entry. If
you do not wish to post your email address, you could simply ask them to contact
you through my email address. I will forward the emails to you and let you
decide whether to make direct contact.
When in doubt, I will assume that your email is a private communication and will
not post it. I tried automatic guest book forms, but was not satisfied with the reliability across
browsers and operating systems. Simple email appears much more reliable.
I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Thanks....Homer

Homer,
Found your site at Pleiku Pals. I'm Richard Lysinger. I was with Co A.
1/35 Inf. 3rd Bde. 4th Inf Div (Cacti) "Grunt".
Very nice site and was surprised when going thru your flashbacks and reading
your letters, nice by the way, that we kicked the same dirt, humped the same
mountains. Arrived in country on 4-68. My company built FB 28 around 5-2-68,
later was told renamed FB Rainbow. Remember writing home and saying how
beautifully it was to see rainbows about every day. Then moved to build FB Dot
around 6-5-68 same area, then built FB 31 around 7-7-68, then built FB Carmon
around 9-11-68. Being a grunt didn't realize I'd become an expert on the shovel,
do remember we got pissed off, build the base, secure the area, just to turn it
over to some other company, and moved to do it all over again. In between fire
bases did patrols and combat missions by Laos, Cambodian border, Dak To and
Kontum area. On 9-25-68 remember that day well, and one lucky SOB got out of the
field and a job back in the rear at Camp Enari pulling guard and running
patrols.
If interested you can view my pictures at cacti35th.org click Photos, then click
on my name Richard Lysinger. Didn't get my camera from home until I was on FB
Dot.
Thanks to my wife of 39yrs for saving my letters home, and me writing on the
back of most of my pictures that I remember anything. My biggest regret is the
names of my brothers in combat, that have long left me. By chance that anyone
recognize some one from my pics please contact me, or any comrade that wants to
give a shout. All are welcome.
Again, nice site and enjoyed it, and will return now and then.
"Welcome Home"
