Viewing your website for the 36th Engr Bn at Vung Tau(wasn't this a in-country RR location?), I was with the 46th Engr Bn, 20th Engr Bdge in Xuan Loc just north of Vung Tau. Had I known there was an engineering unit in Vung Tau I would have asked for a transfer(LOL), right! I like the cut-off pants in the pictures, it surely wasn't any hotter in Vung Tau was it? Just wanted to say hello and say I am glad you guys made it back and a job will done!

I have just found your website and congrats on a good website. I have an uncle, now deceased, who was a member of the 36th Engineers during WWII, as it was then organized as a regiment. He made landings with the unit at Salerno and Anzio. He was seriously wounded by shell fragments of a German 88mm, while in Anzio. His name was, William Hardy "Bill" Pierce. I ask that you keep up your excellent work. Thanks, Allen

Thanks guys, I served with HHC 36th Engr Bn while at Fort Irwin 1966-67. I didn't go to Vung Tau, sole surviving son or something like that. I stayed at Fort Irwin the rest of my tour working at the Weed Army Hospital. I met my wife of 33 years at the USO in Barstow. After the 3 years I joined the National Guard and retired with 32 years service as SGM. Thank you to all my brothers and god bless.
