Hi all, I was a Special Purpose Vechile Mech, 37th Combat Supp Grp, worked on the refueling units from Nov 67 to Nov 68, always trying to find guys I was with at Phu Cat only found one, Roy Auther Olsen (Ollly). This is a cool thing you have done, memories come back instantly when you see these pictures, Thanks, Little Stevie flexmcgoo@aol.com
It was a “cool thing” you guys did, steve. Thanks to guys like you and my Dad (Tony J. Romeo) for your service! If you have any pictures of those days and would like to share them that would be great.

I was in Phu Cat most of 1968. I left in Dec. and went to Germany.I was in C.E.S. and was an equipment operator. I was mostly on a front end loader building bunkers around the barracks but went off base alot to do earth work for the army. We built roads and repaired the runway after motar attacks.40 yrs. ago ,its hard to remember. When I ran a bulldozer I had my Texas flag flying behind my seat. Ive got tons of photos but they are all on slides except for a few. I’m not a geek so I don’t know how to put them on line to share with every one. Thanks for your service, sincerely, Earl Seago
Was in Phu Cat Apr 70 – Mar 71. Supply Sqdn, had all kinds of nasty ‘extra’ jobs. Wasn’t there when your Dad was, but we’re were ALL there at one time or another. Glad to see your tribute.
I’m one of the “3″ that responded to the video. I’m still amazed I ran across it. Called Jerry Purcell up in Washington as soon as I saw it. (He’s also one of the “3″). Jer & I got to Phu Cat in December, ‘67. I think Tony got there around March of ‘68. Sure could have used him during Tet!!! Still can’t believe it was 40 years ago. Amazing. Purcell sent me some recent pics of himself. Man, he got old! I still look the same as in ‘67! (right). So here’s a big “Howdy” to the Italian stallion. Hey Romeo, you still got the same wavy black hair??? Sure you do! All the best to everyone. Rob
Hey! I will respond for my dad! He’s still got the hair! It’s a little grayer then black, but he’s still got it! Around Father’s Day I am going to get a YouTube posted with me and him in it, as an update to all the PhuCat guys that contacted us. This Blog has moved…please see original here:
