MERRY CHRISTMAS
DON I am writing in response to a letter and picture sent by Bill Price MSgt,
377th APSq 1965/1966 regarding his blurp on an INCOMING! message and info regarding
PARADE REST. I would like to answer his question to the fact that the airman
wounded was A2C Roy H. Cook 14809798. He enlisted in Jackson, MS on May 28,
1963. I for one volunteered on the Dry Dock assignment in Biên Hòa and Roy
was one of my best friends, we were very good M60 gunners, along with
the other 12 (dirty dozen). I transferred off the Dry Dock assignment three
weeks before my tour was up and pulled the flight line duty at Tan Son Nhut
to save my ass! before flying home. I also visited with Roy while he was
recuperating. I have found several of the guys but Roy seems to have slipped
pass my computer searches along with a couple of others. Could you somehow
get this info to Bill Price as my computer couldn't or wouldn't get onto
his page?
Thanks Don Weiland A2C
Don
Weiland: Thank you for filling in the blanks. I know that William Price will
be pleased. I am forwarding this to William Price and Don Graham (VSPA Historian/Researcher).
Don Graham will hopefully be able to confirm Roy Cook's purple heart and anyother
award he may have earned. I will add your remarks to William's story.
Don Graham: Please advise when you have information concerning Roy Cook's
awards, and the appropriate VSPA pages to note them on.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Don Poss

A2C
Roy Cook was assigned to the 377th APSq, TSN, and the escort group was called
"Dry Dock". I have a picture of the award from Base Photo, if I can find
it. bp

Don: I checked what I had on Biên Hòa, including
Col. Kent Miller's supplement, but had nothing on Roy. Tried looking him up in
a couple of search engines and couldn't locate him. I'm going to pass this to
Ken Record and hope he can get something from the military records.
Ken: Hope all is well at your end. Please read the following emails and see if
you can find anything out. It may help that we have Roy's AFSN.
Thanks
and everyone have a great weekend,
Don Graham

Roy Cook
Gentlemen: I have checked the official
casualty reports for 1965 and 1966 and I do not find a Roy Cook listed
anywhere. Am I looking in the right place? Please give me more specifics so I
can check other records. More exact dates would help since most of my records
are chronological.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours
in Service
Ken Record
