LONG OVERDUE THANKS!!!!

[BM2 Charles R Allen USN T-29]

Guys
   I just recently made contact with the crewman (Frank Passarelli) who put me aboard a Dustoff on 11/20/1969 in Can Giouc Long An province RVN. I was Boat Captain of T-29 and we were hit by a B-40
around 2300 that night. I had always assumed the Army was my ride to Saigon that night. Only after talking
to Frank did I discover it was the Seawolves that hauled me to 3rd Field Hospital. I should have known that
it was a Navy crew that landed on our deck with tracers still flying and picked me up. You guys had given us
fire support before and were the best going. Thanks for the lift and if you get by Jonesborough Tennessee
the beer is on me!!!!

Boats!
You mentioned Crewman Frank Passarelli. That name was not one of ours, so I'm guessing it was a crewman on T-29.
Do you have the date of this incident?
Maybe some of the Seawolves can determine if they were on the pickup if they knew the date...

Dan I think he had the date as Nov 11 1969 in his message.

Sorry that was 11-20-1969.
