THE AMERICAN LEGION MAGAZINE • DECEMBER 1975 . Notes on OUR DESK "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The words of the philosopher San- tayana express well the continuing reappraisal of Vietnam and the American tragedy in Southeast Asia. These winter evenings in Ameri- can Legion posts, military quarters, the power centers of Washington and New York, community forums and on the sprouting 1976 political plat- forms, any appraisal of U.S. economic and social difficulties turns inevitably to the trauma of Vietnam. Some take solace in the resettle- ment of thousands of South Vietna- mese refugee families in the United States; some cry "good riddance" and urge a general American retreat from the world arena; some preach Chamberlain-like appeasement of communism and other more localized radical movements.

  • 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.

  • The USS BRAINE-DD630 Was Laid at the Bath Iron Works on October 12, 1942
    USS Braine (DD-630) The keel for the USS BRAINE-DD630 was laid at the Bath Iron Works on October 12, 1942. Accelerated construction continued until launching on March 7, 1943. During the construction period, the assembly of officers and crew began. The first officer to report was Ensign Arthur F. Moricca, a graduate engineer of Rennsalear Polytechnic Institute. The first Commanding Officer, Commander John F. Newman, Jr., USN soon reported to Bath. He was followed by officers Ensign John D. Hotchkiss, Asst. Engineering Officer; Lieutenant John T. Evans, First Lieutenant; Lt(jg) Henry J. Watters, Communications Officer; Ensign William M. Eastman, Supply Officer; Lieutenant George W. Montgomery, Gunnery Officer. The new officers and crew observed the construction of the ship to become familiar with its components and operation. Although it was winter, the crew members enjoyed the serenity of Maine and the delicious sea food served in the many restaurants in the area. On a crisp and breezy winter Maine day with ice still on the river, the sponsor’s party assembled. Mrs. Daniel L. Braine, Brooklyn, New York and wife of the grandson of Admiral Daniel Lawrence Braine, USN for whom the vessel was named, wielded the bottle of champagne. With traditional words, Mrs. Braine christened the new destroyer UNITED STATES SHIP BRAINE - DD630 and launched her into destroyer history. As the ship came to rest in the middle of the Kennebec River, it was obvious that there was still a lot of work to be done before the BRAINE could join the fleet. Installation of boilers, turbines, electric panels, gun mounts, communication and navigation equipment, as well as all the items to accommodate the crew’s living quarters.

SOME CHINESE BANDITS WERE ON THE LOOSE AND CAPTIAN SIMS OF THE NOA (SON OF THE ADMIRALl. ON HIS OWN RESPONSIBILITY. OPENED FIRE ON THEM AND HELD THEM OFF UNTIL HE GOT ALL THE WHITE SETTLEMENT ON BOARD. THEN MADE HIS WAY DOWN THE RIVER. THE CAPTAIN FEARED THIS WOULD CAUSE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT AND THAT HE WOULD GET A GENERAL COURT MARTIAL OUT OF IT. IT PREYED ON HIS MIND SO HE FINALLY COMMITTED SUICIDE. LATER HE WAS AWARDED THE NAVY CROSS CROSS POSTHUMOUSLY. THIS WAS IN THE 1920'S I BELIEVE .
