| Message | I was there....XO of Camp Loc Ninh, Det A-331, 5th Special Forces. That was a Sigma operation. They came in the day before & staged out of our camp. We all got pretty drunk the night before in the Team Bar (underground). I remember Roy.....I remember all of them. There was no Doctor at Loc Ninh - only a SF medic (Sgt Martin). I remember the 4 dead Americans laid out along side the airstrip. Team Leader SFC Leroy Wright - a black NCO with B-56 & three helicopter crew (WO Larry McKibben, SP4 Mike Craig, SP4 Nelson Fournier). SSGT Mousseau "Frenchy" died enroute to Long Binh Army hospital in the extraction helicopter. SP4 Brian O'connor was severly wounded and morphined out of his skull at the strip. He kept cursing the mission "to capture a truck for the f**cking Nha Trang HQ Museum"! I didn't know for nearly 40 years if that was true. I found out not too long ago that the mission was to capture "equipment" that would positively "link" the Soviets with the war materiel - so O'conner was probably right on the money 'cause that's were the truck would have ended up! It was probably the reason for the mission. In all, 2 of 3 American team members dead & 9 wounded Chinese Nungs (CIDG) of the 12 man team inserted plus the three dead American helicopter crew. Your Benavidez site should also list the SF Recon team members killed: SFC Leroy Wright, SSG "Frenchy" Mousseau, & SP4 Brian O'Conner - WIA. Your people had huge balls to fly into that crap - should've been honore |

| Message | The lady that has given so much to the 240th and never asked for any thing in return, Linda (Luther) Graham, has passed away on December 30th, 2009. Linda had been fighting melanoma skin cancer for 18 months. By a chance encounter on the Internet, me searching the web one day in 1997 looking for different Vietnam Veteran websites, I viewed Linda's site and signed the guestbook. That incident led to an email from Linda thanking me for commenting on her site and the start of a 12 year friendship. Linda and I never met face-to-face but she was certainly one of my closest and dearest friends. Because of Linda the 240th has the websites LZ, Flightline and Flight Operations. If any 240th member or their family would like to send their condolences to her husband, TJ, or her sister, Eileen Breedlove, please contact me for their mailing address. I will miss you, Linda, but I will never let your memory fade nor forget what you have done for me and the 240th AHC. |
