Letter from the President “Without a witness, they just disappear.” These words about honor & respect for our dead appeared in the 2009 movie,Taking Chance. And they remind me of the importance of keeping alive the memoires of our war dead. In other words, by bearing witness we are keeping alive the memory of our beloved comrades who died in Vietnam. “Remembrance” is one of the tripods that holds up the brotherhood of the USMC Vietnam Tankers Association. It is imperative that each of us helps with this memorial. Need I remind you that if you die with your own story of your time in-country untold, there may be no witness to keep your memory alive. The longer that you wait to put it down on paper, the fuzzier it becomes.

  • 3Rd Battalion, 3Rdmarines Memories
    3rd Battalion, 3rdMarines Aug 2010 Washington DC Memories America’s Battalion History - Honor - Tradition - Brotherhood Young Corpsmen … vintage Marines 3/3 at 29 Palms, March 2010 Why we gather together: There is a Bible scripture that states “There is no greater love than one who gives his life for another.” Many gave their lives that we could be here this evening. While we were spared by fate from giving our lives, we were prepared to do so for our fellow Marines and Docs. That’s the essence of Marine love and that’s why we did what we did. We cared for one another then as we do today. There’s nothing more to say. It would be unnecessary or redundant to say that we would trust our lives to one another—simply be- cause we have already have and in more ways that we could ever imagine or recount. We’re alive today be- cause of the quiet and unassuming courage and compassion of those in this room tonight as well as many or our comrades who are unable to be with us or who are with us only in spirit. That’s why we’ve come from great distances and, for some, at great expense. We’ll never be able to repay one another. There really isn’t enough money in the world to do that. But we will forever remember each other. That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re so proud to have been a 3/3 Marine in Vietnam and so proud to be a part of this celebration of remembrance so many years later.

It should be another wonderful reunion and if the attendance trend keeps going in the same direction that it has been going since our founding in 1999, For a myriad of very valid reasons the USMC VTA Board of Directors has unanimously voted that as of the 2013 reunion in San Antonio, the USMC Vietnam Tankers Association this will be our biggest reunion yet. If there ever was a time that any reluctant member considers attending will be solely responsible for conducting & recording personal history interviews and this should be the year. As I have said in the past, most first time attendees say, “God willing, I will never miss that we will embark on a well-planned & coordinated effort to collect, sort and publish the history of Marine Corps tanks during the Vietnam War. The main vehicles for the another VTA reunion!” publication of our history will be the Sponson Box news magazine and the VTA website. As an added component of the Vietnam Tankers Association History Project, we are pleased to announce We have arranged for several hotel-supplied interview rooms and we have allowed ample time during the reunion for willing members to sign up for an interview session or two.
