If you're curious about what it's like today, check out my web site at www.billinnam.com and if you've ever thought about coming over, give me a shout and I will see if I can help you make it a trip to remember. And if you already have a gig going, I'd still love to see you in Da Nang as you pass through. If you not active with the Chapter, get involved. It's still a great group of men.

Hello GUYS! Hope you can assist the Daughter of a Former C/1/3 Marine, if you REMEMBER her Dad(L/Cpl James Louis TUBBS, Jr.). James L. TUBBS, Jr ----SILVER STAR Award For Action January 22, 1968 North of C-4 DO YOU REMEMBER: Cpl JAMES LOUIS TUBBS Jr., from Paducah, KY. On January 22, 1968 he was L/Cpl TUBBS, with 1st Platoon, Company “C”, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines. He was the point man (he had volunteered to be Point) for a Squad moving across a 100 meter wide open area of flat sand between two Tree lines approx 3000 meters north of the Dyemarker position C-4 (known as Little View). L/Cpl Tubbs with L/Cpl Ted B. MICHAELS crossed under the cover of a smoke screen provided by 3.5” Rocket White Phosphorous rounds. As they dashed across the Open Area towards the Dunes on the other side, they reached the top of the dune, and Tubbs saw a North Vietnamese behind an automatic weapon on bipods. He shouted to Michaels who ducked and then shot the gunner who fell over his weapon. At the same time another of the enemy fired at Michaels with a M-16, Tubbs shot him when the enemy stuck his head up and tried running down the beach when he heard a hiss followed by an explosion. He fired twice at the RPG man on the inboard slope of the dune hitting him a second time and causing him to fall into his hole and the rocket which was ready to be fired to be shot into a nearby tree, Tubbs then threw a Grenade into the hole. Tubbs offered to advance further beyond the dune’s crest alone, but was denied. He did provide cover for other Marines to assisit L/Cpl Michaels who was in Shell Shock from close Chicom explosions, back across the open area to the southern side of Little View. He exposed himself and disregarded his safety, as he covered the other Marines, and was the last to cross back to the southern side. He had three of the KILLS, of the 8 NVA killed that day with out losing any Marines. This is basically the letter written by 2nd LT Kevin A CAHALAN, who witnessed the actions of L/Cpl Tubbs. Jerry Willis had recently received a email from Winona Vaughn of Henderson, KY., who said she was the Daughter of “James L. Tubbs, Jr.” and wanted to know how to possibly find Marines that knew her DAD. Jerry told me about Winona, and I did contact her. She said she had found the information about a REUNION for 1st Battalion 3rd Marines, and sent Jerry the email. She indicated her Dad had married her Mom, in 1971, and she was born in 1972. She said her Dad, didn’t talk much about Vietnam, and had a Bulldog USMC Tattoo on his bicep. She said her Dad had problems and a ruff marriage, and did end his life in Suicide, when she was 13 years old. She said her Dad was nicknamed “DUNNIE” by a lot of people, but didn’t know if it was from Vietnam or not. She said he was really thin, dark hair, and green eyes, but doesn’t know if that helps. She said after her grandmother(her Dad’s Mom) passed in 2003, she found papers about him and the Silver Star Award he had received for Heroism in Vietnam. With her own son, who is 16 and resembles her Dad, and her 4 year old daughter, that reminds her of herself when she was younger, she wants to find more about her Dad and his time in Vietnam for them. She did send the request for the Silver Star to Records in St Louis, and did receive his Medal and Citation, in January, 2004. She thinks he also had a Purple Heart too. She says her Dad enlisted in 1966, when he was 17 years old, and went through Boot Camp at Paris Island. With her curiosity high, she HOPES to find Someone that Remembers her Dad. The original Award Recommendation by Captain W. OSGOOD, Company Commander for “C” Company was sent to the Secretary of the Navy, on June 25th, 1968 for the “NAVY CROSS”. S/Sgt James J. HERBERT and 2ndLt Kevin A. CAHALAN were eyewitnesses to the Actions of L/Cpl James L. TUBBS, Jr. on January 22, 1968 north of C-4. Commanding Officer at 1st Bn, 3rd Marines, sent the request forward, recommending the “SILVER STAR”, on 30AUG68. The Commander in Chief U.S. Pacific Fleet approved and forwarded the “SILVER STAR” request, 12NOV68. Cpl James L. Tubbs, was presented the SILVER STAR at Camp Lejeune, on 16Jul69. The Citation reads: The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the SILVER STAR MEDAL to: CORPORAL JAMES L. TUBBS,JR. UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, for service as set forth in the following CITATION: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Rifleman with Company C, First Battalion, Third Marines, Third Marine Division, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 22 January 1968, during a patrol near an outpost north of the Cua Viet River, Corporal Tubbs volunteered to serve as point man for a squad assigned to move across a large open area to reconnoiter a tree line. As the Marines neared the objective, they suddenly came under intense automatic weapons and small-arms fire. Alertly observing a North Vietnamese soldier preparing to direct machine-gun fire at a friendly position Corporal Tubbs killed him with an accurate burst of rifle fire. During the ensuing fire fight, he repeatedly disregarded his own safety to locate and destroy hostile positions. On one occasion, he threw a hand grenade directly into an enemy bunker, effectively silencing the hostile fire from the emplacement. When a Marine was rendered unconscious by an exploding grenade, Corporal Tubbs aggressively moved forward and pinned down the enemy with accurate fire, killing two more hostile soldiers, while several Marines advanced and evacuated the wounded man. As his squad withdrew across 100 meters of open terrain, Corporal Tubbs continuously exposed himself to enemy fire in order to provide effective covering fire for his companions. His heroic actions were instrumental in saving the life of a fellow Marine and his unit accounting for eight North Vietnamese soldiers killed. By his extraordinary courage, bold initiative, and selfless devotion to duty at great personal risk, Corporal Tubbs upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. For the President, signed by L.F. CHAPMAN, JR., Commandant of the Marine Corps Jerry and I were talking, and WE don’t REMEMBER any of these names, other than Capt OSGOOD. I REMEMBER the AMBUSH of 2nd Platoon on January 19th, north of C-4 and the Re-Action Force with Amtracs, and Our 3-KIA(Benedict, Burgoon, and Morris) and 33-WIA’s. DO ANY of YOU, Remember possibly 1st Platoon members, L/Cpl Ted B. MICHAELS, S/Sgt James J. HEBERT, or 2ndLt Kevin A. CAHALAN? If you Remember them, maybe you REMEMBER L/Cpl James L. TUBBS,Jr. Do you REMEMBER the action at Little View on 22Jan68, where L/Cpl TUBBS was recommended for the NAVY CROSS/Awarded the SILVER STAR? After we left C-4, and went to Quang Tri and the Battalion Rear area, I was SHORT, but I don’t REMEMBER hearing about the Activity on the 22Jan68, or the Pending Medal for BRAVERY for L/Cpl James L. Tubbs. I rotated Home in Mid March 1968, and just recently heard about it from Winona VAUGHN (Daughter of James L. Tubbs Jr.). If you REMEMBER L/Cpl Tubbs, I HOPE you will contact his Daughter (Winona Vaughn). She can be contacted at email address: winonavaughn@bellsouth.net ! I know some of you MUST REMEMBER L/Cpl Tubbs, and possibly about his Silver Star. Semper Fi, Don Bumgarner C/1/3 67-68 60mm Mortars

Hello ALL, This is your Web Master again, and just wanted to let EVERYONE know what I have been doing lately. I recently finished updating the Company Lists with the Names and Addresses of many additional MARINES from 1st Battalion / 3rd Marines. These NEW Names are mainly from the Membership Directory for the Third Marine Division Association for 2008. Maybe some of these New Names are NOT on the Computer, but would ENJOY hearing via "LETTER" from a Old Buddy. I know , before I was on the Computer, I did LOCATE about 5-6 guys from Vietnam via the old Letter Method. I feel, the MORE names we have listed the BETTER for the web site and the Battalion. MORE and MORE of the Battalion Members are STARTING to LOOK for those MARINES and CORPSMEN, WHO they SHARED their TIME in Vietnam, WWII, Korea, or one of the more recent Wars on Terror. For US VIETNAM Vets, 40 plus years and counting, SO NOW is the TIME to Reconnect with OUR FRIENDS from the PAST! CHECK OUT Your Company List, you might find someone you have been LOOKING FOR. If you NOTICE that a Battalion Member you know, is not there, Encourage them to "Muster In". I am STILL LOOKING for James P BRADFORD(former California Marine, but possibly from Arizona/New Mexico area now) or Jack MILLIGAN(last know from MICHIGAN). If you know Bradford or Milligan, let me know. OUR Web Site is a for ALL of US, and HOPE you like it. Stand At Ease, and Take Care! Till NEXT Time, Semper Fi Don B C/1/3 67-68 Web Master!

Hi all. I figured it was time to start a new page. Also, notice that we are in need of a new web master for our site. This is important as I will be living out of the country for a while and will not be able to maintain this site while I am away. Email me if you can take on the job.
