Hi
Who do I have the privilege of talking too? My dad was right there too! 🙂 Salmeroa69 (talk) 03:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)


 * My name is Timothy W. Phillips. I retired from the USMC as a 1stSgt in 1987.  I was in 3rd Platoon, A 1/7 from January 20, 1967, until August 19, 1968.  In April of 67 A Company moved to a position near Hill 55.  Dodge City was across the road from our position.  On the other side of the river was Goi Noi Island. First time we went on Goi Noi Island was in mid-May 67.  We had two squads on amtracks.  One Marine was killed that day and we got run off the island.  Next time we went with the entire company and got run off again.  Third time we went with entire battalion and got run off again.  A year later we went back onto the island with tanks.  Tanks helped us some, but basically every day we were being hit hard by the NVA.  When they took the tanks away, we really began getting waxed.  I was Bear to the Marines in 3rd Platoon.  I have written two books about my first year and second year in the USMC.  Both of them deal with time spent in Vietnam.  The books explain what happened each time we went on Goi Noi Island.  Their names are Hard Corps Marine, My Way, Year One and Year Two.  If you get them and read them, you will see how stupidly we fought the Vietnam War.  The person who wrote the account of what happened on Goi Noi Island during Operation Allen Brook got his information from the Marine Corps report on the operation.  Whoever wrote the report was going off of poor information, since I know for a fact Liberty Bridge was not operational at no time when I went through Phu Loc 6 to get onto Goi Noi Island. What unit was your father with?  If you live near SC, we can get together for personal meeting about this. 148.71.10.97 (talk) 07:30, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * My dad was with 2nd platoon A 1/27 during Operation Allen Brook. We live in Tx. Salmeroa69 (talk) 11:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't know if he will remember Bear from 3rd Platoon, since the platoons didn't really mingle that much. Your father is lucky to be alive.  He was in the middle of the battle on 16, May, 68 when 2nd Platoon tried to assault the NVA and from what I was told eleven of them were killed and nine were wounded.  I am going to give you my email address and you can email me.  We can share personal information that way. ￼ Hieuduc 67 (talk) 12:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't give you my email address through this medium. There is an A 1/7 site you can find on the internet.  We have reunions every two years.  There are Marines who were on Allen Brook with A Company on that site. Also, the two books I wrote are available via the internet.  You can get them and read what I wrote in both of them about Goi Noi Island. Hieuduc 67 (talk) 12:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Was worried about personal info here. I sent you a Facebook message. 68.188.119.167 (talk) 12:33, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Send me another Facebook message. I missed that one.  Also, messed up when I looked A 1/27, I saw A 1/7.  My profile picture on Facebook is me in Dress Blues with jump wings, medals, and ribbons on. Hieuduc 67 (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
