  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

  • Waging Brown Water Warfare: the Mobile Riverine Force
    WAGING BROWN WATER WARFARE: THE MOBILE RIVERINE FORCE IN THE MEKONG DELTA, 1966-1969 by REAGAN JAY GRAU, B.A. A THESIS IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved James R. Reckner Chairperson of the Committee Donald R. Walker Accepted John Borrelli Dean of the Graduate School August, 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to my father, Garry, for instilling in me the ethic that does not allow one to quit. Also, I owe my mother, Roberta, a great deal for providing me with guidance, inspiration, and hours of help at a copier. To Richard Boylan, I owe a debt of thanks for his indispensable assistance at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. Thanks also go to the First Presbyterian Church in Lubbock, Texas, for a generous grant from the David Vigness Scholarship Fund to finance a portion of my research trip to that archive. Lonnie Wheeler, my seventh grade Texas History teacher, served as an outside editor. He introduced me to the study of history and inspired me to make it a lifelong pursuit. Appreciation also is extended to Dr. Donald Walker for his academic advice and critical historian’s eye. Without his experience, this thesis would be of a lesser quality. I must also acknowledge Dr. James Reckner. Without his invitation to spend my graduate career in the Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech, doing what I enjoy most, I would never have even contemplated a higher degree, let alone achieved one.

  • Rear Admiral Thomas William Mcnamara, U.S. Navy (Retired) Passed on 28 January 2020 at Age 93
    Rear Admiral Thomas William McNamara, U.S. Navy (Retired) passed on 28 January 2020 at age 93. Thomas McNamara entered the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II and served in the U.S. Navy as a Surface Line Officer in the Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam War until his retirement in 1977 as the Commandant of the NINTH Naval District. His major command tour in USS CHICAGO (CG-11) was one of the most extraordinary in modern U.S. Navy history as CHICAGO shot down a North Vietnamese MiG fighter with a Talos missile, and her air intercept controllers guided U.S. aircraft to shoot-down 14 more (after she had been re- called from her return transit home, in response to the 1972 North Vietnamese “Easter Offensive.”) Thomas McNamara began college at Lehigh University but entered the U.S. Merchant Marine Reserve as a midshipman in February 1945, attending the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, NY,) graduating in June 1948. As a midshipman, he served aboard transport ships bringing troops back from Europe. Commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve, he immediately reported for active duty and then in September 1948 as a Division Officer aboard attack transport USS HENRICO (APA-45 – a veteran of D-Day and Okinawa, where she was hit in the bridge by a kamikaze that killed 49 including the commanding officer.) HENRICO operated in the vicinity of Tsingtao, China in 1948-49, the primary operating base of U.S. naval forces in Chinese waters until it fell to the Chinese Communists in 1949 during the Chinese Civil War.
