Lam Son 719
For you old dogs from Udorn - this is a great video site that recounts the Lam Son 719 operation where MACV and SVN invaded Laos in an attempt to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail.
ABCCC isn’t mentioned but I recall many nights of providing support to these guys. It looked like it might work at the get-go… but it was not to be. http://military.discovery.com/convergence/lamson/videogallery/videogallery.html

Ken Mulkey album added
I added a few pics that Ken Mulkey got to us through Ken Witkin. I don’t show Ken Mulkey as a member - so if anyone out there knows a good email address for him, please have him visit the site and see if he’d want to send us contact info. His gallery can be accessed thru the photos section.

Recovered Memorabilia
Diane Calmes sent us some pictures she got from Barry Watson - of 7th and 42nd ACCS memorabilia that was recovered from Keesler AFB after Hurricane Katrina ripped it up in August, 2005. None of the recoveries are in very good shape… it looks like they went through a hurricane or something…
We have those photos posted in Calmoose’s gallery which can be reached through our Gallery page - Click Here.
