Autorenporträt

SFC E7 Robert Wall, US Army Special Forces Retired: Volunteered for two tours in VN during the VN War, 1965 and 1968. Both times served in the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). Headquartered at Nha Trang--Approximately 1/2 mile from the city of Nha Trang and approximately one mile from the coastal highway running north and south (beach road).....1965/66. Second tour served with the Military Assistance Command/Special Operations Group-1968/69. He was the Noncommissioned officer in-charge of a Recon Team-Team Alaska....Teams were named after US States. The team consisted of three Americans and nine Montagnards (mercenary troops). The team went on recon missions both in South VN and the country of Laos. The team was headquartered at the Khe Sanh Combat Base a few miles south of the Demilitarized Zone separating the two VNs. The US Marines had control of the base and runway. Special Forces had a small strip of the base facing the country of Laos. When the North Vietnamese were pushed back from the base in April 1968, his Special Forces unit was relocated to Phu Bai-Quite a number of miles south of Khe Sanh and just south of the Old Imperial City of Hue off Highway #1. The teams continued recon missions in South VN and Laos, especially in the Danang area and across the border into the Laos mountains and valleys. In 2004, he and a nephew (Gene Wall) flew to Vietnam with other VN War veterans for a tour of the entire country--Hanoi south to the Mekong Delta area, including the former Khe Sanh Combat Base, Danang, Pleiku, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), Can To and other southern cities including towns near the Cambodia border. This was a three-weeks tour. His final thought after the tour -NEVER AGAIN go there.
