The USMC VTA is looking for any and all Marines who served with a Marine tank batallion during the Vietnam War. You could have been any MOS as long as you served and/or supported a tank batallion. We have tankers, docs, $hitfisters, armorers, office pogues, motor-t dudes and more. You can also be an Associate member if you were a tanker during the war but never were in-country.
We hold biennial reunions. Our next one will be Aug 19 - 23, 2009 in Charleston, SC.
We have a trimester news magazine that is chock full of sea stories and photos from our time in Vietnam.
We'd be honored if you would join the brotherhood.
Contact John Wear at johnwear@comcast.net or 215-794-9052.
If you will send me your snail mail address then I will send you a copy of our trimester news magazine and a membership application.
