Post; Saigon '68


hey all, I'm writing my senior thesis about the events that took place in Saigon during the Tet Offensive of 1968. If there are any Vietnam vets out there that would like to have their brain picked, let me know.

Try contacting the 716th Military Police Assn. They were heavily involved in Saigon during Tet 68. They have a web page.

You could also try the USAF Security Police Assn and the USMC MSG Assn. As the Marines at the Embassy were involved as well as the SP'S.

You can find recorded conversations from Vets of the Viet Nam War as well as WWII and Korea. Some websites are encouraging taped interviews from Vets. Sorry I can't help but I mustered out just as the war started cranking up.
