Navigation  Hints

Each VSPA K-9 page has a identical common "footer" (below the barbed wire). This has links to our memorial page, two bulletin boards, and all new or updated pages (I add or update something every few days.

The "Bases & K-9 Sections" page is the directory to all USAF dog sections in South East Asia (Viet Nam & Thailand). 

The "Links of Interest" page has numerous links to websites of general interest to dog handlers. These range from American military to Australian Tracker Dogs, civilian police K-9, Viet Nam history, military history, etc. You can even find the current weather in Saigon (I will never refer to that place as Ho Chi Minh City).

The "Health Problems" page contains information on exposure to several chemicals, a link to a bulletin board, and information about VA claims. Our exposure to hazardous chemicals should be of concern to every handler.

The "K-9 Reunion"  page allow handlers  to stay in touch old with friends and old "dawgs" to make new friends.

The "My chance to rant" page gives me a chance to fuss over some items of personal interest to me. 

Each page also has a few links of special interest. These include, adoption of military dogs and supporting handlers deployed due to our war on terrorist.  This volunteer program has been well received.

Submitting Stories & Photos 

With the help of a few former handlers, this site has grown. They took a little time and sent me information about their bases. Unfortunately, several bases have very little information posted.  I still need facts and photos. 

 I can do some retouching. If you have a really good photo that you have scanned send it.   And please include your name, base, tour dates, etc.  I really need help in dog names and  brand numbers so please check the lists of dogs for your base.  If you have submitted items, thanks again. If you can not find them under the pages for your base, look elsewhere. I have several common theme pages that I have added photos to. 

For example Phil Harrell (Bien Hoa handler of Nixon 2236E) sent me several photos. The photos of Phil and Nixon were placed on a Bien Hoa page. He also sent me a photo of old French bunker.   I added a page about France's involvement in Viet Nam before we entered the war. I used Phil's bunker photo there.

If you sent me a huge number of photos, I may have only used a few of them.   I have limited space available but I do rotate photos. The total VSPA web site has 1400 pages. We have over 250 pages on the K-9 program in Viet Nam & Thailand.
