- If you're refering to the Ambush Valley incident on 9/7 to 9/10/1967, you might want to look into the book by Eric Hammel titled "Ambush Valley, I Corps, Viet Nam, 1967-the story of a Marine Infantry Battalion's Battle for Survival. I was there and the book is a very accurate reflection of my experience.
Best wishes,

- I have a K-Bar in my collection that belonged to Steve Levitt USMC Recon Northern I Corps. He was shot in the head when over-run Feb 1968. His wife says he had to be left on the field, but Oliver North, his CO, returned for him. They took him back in a body bag and when he was being hosed off, they found he was still alive. Can anyone confirm this? If you knew Steve and was his given name Earl or ? Please e-mail me at: suwanneetrader@hotmail.com. Thank-you. I appreciate all you vets.

- lot of information on sites below:
A trichloroethylene (TCE) toxic plume was discovered in 1985 off of Marine Corps
Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, California. El Toro was placed on the EPA Superfund
list in 1990, closed in July 1999, and most of the land sold at a public auction
in 2005. MWSG-37 (EPA Site 24) was the source of the toxic plume spreading off
the base. Multiple contaminants were found on base near landfills, including
radionuclides (Uranium 235, Radium 226 and Radium 228).
also includes:
Please take a few minutes to read and sign the petition at
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/cdr-melissa-mohon-usn.html. Please include
comments relating to your service at El Toro which may be helpful to the
evaluation.
also includes: A legal review and evaluation of possible injuries and deaths
related to exposure to TCE/PCE at former MCAS El Toro is underway by a Southern
California law firm. Veterans, dependents, and civilian workers with injuries
possibly related to exposure to TCE/PCE at former MCAS El Toro can contact Mr.

Trichloroethylene is everywhere. It causes cancer and other serious health

in a nutshell, either contaminates can cause miscarriages, birth defects and
illness in children, (even sprem can carry the contaminate to wife); affects the
heart, brain, skin, autoimmune (such as Lupus, MS or MS type health problems,
nerve damage, blood, bone, cancer of any major organs, and so on. I hope that
this is helpful and also that you may help others by passing information along
to others who may have been exposed.

poems I wrote for art show in Oregon in 1989 called: Images of Vietnam; only poet, only woman veteran and only non-combat veteran
That Was Hard Enough
In the dark humid forest,
I swore,
I would never love
or believe again,
the day my soul
lay shattered,
next to the stillness,
of my best friend.
That was hard enough.
Feeling heartsick and fragile,
I came home to face,
the unjust spit and venom
and foul words of hate;
until bitterness
and disbelief,
became my pilgrimage,
and anger and mistrust
my way of life.
You ask me why I find
it hard to trust,
even after all these years;
because I am haunted more
by the memories of hate,
than
I am by the distant drums
of a distant war.

Etched In Stone
I cried when I saw them
and thought, "oh God, not you";
then they told me you had died
in the jungles of Vietnam,
trying to save people,
and that was so like you.
I remember your deep compassion,
and how you use to dream
of wanting freedom for everyone
and a more peaceful world;
and how it became shattered
in a war no one wants to remember.
Al that remains with me now
is your warm and gentle memory,
making it harder for me
to reach out to touch
the coldness of your name,
etched in stone.
linda arneson dokken
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No One Ever Told Me
No one ever told me
your lonely silence
of a war screaming blood,
demanding,
overwhelming,
would drive us deeper
into haunted memories
of a humid forest.
No one ever told me
the unconscious rage
lingering in fearful eyes,
loathing,
hating,
would cause us to explode,
to drift apart with empty faces
viewing shattered images.
No one ever told me,
that it would all end
and you and I would lie,
abandoned,
forgotten,
to the echoing sound
of a distant spade.
No one ever told me.
linda arneson dokken
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Your Enemy
I wish,
I had known
how to deal with
your empty eyes,
your unspoken pain,
and your forbidding silence.
I wish,
I would have known,
how to draw you out,
to talk to you,
to listen to what you
needed to say.
I wish,
I would have known,
how to stay with you
over all the years;
to let you know
that I really loved you.
I wish,
more than anything,
I would have known
how to convince you
that I was not
your enemy.
