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.
