During my tour with HHC, 369th Signal Battalion, Vung Tau, from January to October 1970, our battalion commander was LTC Harvey T. Ingram, Jr., Signal Corps.  I have spoken about him and his decency for many years, and would like to know if the good colonel is still with us.  If anyone knows his status, I would be very grateful. Also, anyone from the Battalion personnel shop or our wonderful company clerk, SP4 Arthur Tachikawa - the only guy I ever met who ate Dog Biscuits on purpose - and got me to eat one, too.  ;}  I wish all of the veterans only the best.  God bless you guys from our Vietnam days - your friend, John Harrison.

I am looking for anyone who served in the 29th Signal Group in Bangkok and Bang Pla, Thailand during the period 1966-70. The reunion here in Las Vegas, June 6-9, 2008 was a success and we are planning another reunion next year. Contact me for details. Louie "Lee" LeMaster, bangpla@aol.com or 702-250-1937.

Hi Gentlemen: First may I say THANK YOU for your many sacrifices and God Bless you all, If I had been around then I would have kissed and hugged you all when your planes landed back state side! Your true Heros to patriots everywhere! My Dad, Joe Rushlow (E4 I believe) was in country 67-68 at VC Hill Vung Tau. (commspec USASTRATCOM and spec 5 at discharge agian I think. I don't have his dd form hany at the moment!) I know he was 1st Sig BGD but the rest is fuzzy for him. Apparently he was part of a long lines detatchment with about 30 other guys. I have a few good pics I will try to get up soon, a pic of him during a mortor attack was also featured in the 1987 Hustler article "Last Will and Testamate" By Paul D Shiplett, I dont know if I can post that or not . He and I have many questions and he is now wanting to talk much more about the era but is losing names and such to time. His unit wore a white and red "Road Runner" patch as well as the 1st Sig patch. Which I still have on his flack jacket so I can scan it as well. He also recieved a zippo with the giant antenna in white and the hill i think was in red and black outline. (It was lost in a fire back here.) They also had a dog they adopted for a while they named after a whiskey I think. It is escaping me at the moment but it was a small dog. Dad has no ambition to get any paper work besides the one I have so I figured this way may be helpful. He served from I think July 67 to Jan 68, when he left country he went to Hagerstown Maryland for 30 day leave and then to the Pentagon for a short while before his discharge. (Honorable)  Also did a short stint in Germany I think before Vietnam. He would like more info and memories and I think validation about this unit since there is no info to be found any where on it. I am sorry for the book but it would mean a lot if anyone has any info. Again God Bless You all.

1967-1969 I was a member of the 105th Signal Detachment and 334th Signal Company in Bangkok. We fell under the 29th Signal Group which was under the 1st Signal Bde. We did not wear the 1st Signal Patch, but the 29th Signal Group Patch. Does anyone remember the patch.  I have done a search, but can not locate one that looks familar.

Bill, good to see you are posting. I don't check here a lot, but did have something I wanted to ask of the group, and what a coincidence, your post and an earlier post from John Thoma.
For the group, I was with RCG from Aug 69 to Jun 71.
I've been an Active Reservist for far too many years, and I've proudly worn the 1st Sig Bde patch as a combat patch from my early days in the Reserve program (1973) until my last AT, in November, 2007. I will be retiring from the Reserve program in May, 2008, mandatory retirement.
So, here is the question. Am I probably the last person in uniform, either Reserve or active, to wear the 1st Sig Bde patch as a Vietnam unit combat patch?
