My father

[Matt Tate]

I am trying to find any information about the time my father served in Hal3.
His name is Dennis Tate. He has never spoken much of it to me other than he was very proud to serve his country. As he has grown older he has started to experience horrible flashback that have progressively gotten worse over the years. If anyone out there served with him, please let me know so I can try to better understand what he has and is going through. I believe he served in 68-69. I know he has received a bronze star. Can anyone please help me. He was from Pocahontas, Iowa.

Matt,
I did not know your Dad, but I did talk to him by phone about 3 weeks ago and he seemed to be in a good place, and said he had an appointment scheduled with the VA that week.

Your Dad was a Gunner who served in combat with HA(L)-3, Detachment 6, from 8/5/1969 to 7/21/1970.

You might consider posting your email address for other Det 6 members who knew and flew with him, to respond to you personally, rather than here on the public forum.

Thank you very much for your reply.  I can be reached at [e-mail].  I wasn't sure where to go to start looking.  I just worry about him a lot.  It is nice to hear that you have spoken with him.
