Vietnam War Interview Forum

You might try searching on the various Evac hospitals that operated in Vietnam.

The two (2) that come to mind for me are the 93rd Evac: members.tripod.com/msg_fisher/93pg.html

and the 24th Evac:  
www.24thevacuationhospital.org/

I have a special fondnest for the 24th since I was a guest there before being sent home. :-)

Both sites have guest books and you can post a request there.

Good luck,

Pat McAleavey
