Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 62 Alumni Group

It is with a heavy heart I inform you that our brother, Ray Lade, passed on July 18th.
Ray's former wife Barbra called and said he had just spent a week at her home, was feeling better, but a few days later succumbed to a long term illness.
Ray was with us during MCB 62's 1st RVN Deployment to Hue-Phu Bai. Many of us remember Ray's great love of his 50's Doo Wop Records and fast cars.
For anyone who'd like to attend, the Memorial Service will be held on August 21st at 11AM at the Coatesville, PA VA Complex Chapel. Frank Pirrello, Pete Scolaro and I will be attending. Tommy Polizzotto is a possible attendee. Norm, thanks for posting, and Ravis thanks for your remembrance! V/r, Roman

Rest in Peace Brother!

Here's to you Ray - from the boys!

"Shoo-Doo-an'-Shoo-Bee-Doo.."

Norm, Hope this finds you in good health & happiness.

I need an assist here Norm.

Out of the 15 KIAs NMCB 62 sustained during 4 deployments to Vietnam, we are missing a picture of EO3 Donald Francis Horn killed on September 2, 1969. (the 3rd deployment)

Donald's picture is the only NMCB 62 KIA missing on the Wall Of Faces for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.

Could you post something on our NMCB 62 Alumni site and on the NMCB 62 Facebook site?

Hopefully, one of our troops might have a suitable picture which could be submitted to the Wall of Faces and all of our Heroes would have their faces remembered along with their names.

Thanks Norm. V/r, Roman

If anyone has a photo of Don, please send it to Roman or myself.

EO3 Glen Ludban in NMCB62 in Vietnam has a song written about him. Access my facebook for an address of Paula singing her heart out for her neighbor. Glen's "GOLD STAR" mother was very close to Paula. I hope NMCB62 honors EO3 Ludban ? Bet his shipmates loved their hours together in beer bars. Glen and I did that in 1964 Hicksville, Ohio. Glen and I were on the same Indiana football team in 1964, also. Our opponents ran Vic Hunter's end with DEFENSIVE TACKLE Ludban on the field. On the Virtual Wall, Glen has an address for his memorial page.

I was station with the Marine Barracks/Security force co. on DG from July 1987 - July 1988. I fell upon your web site, because I have seen that Agent Orange was used and stored there. I remember mingling with some of the Seabee's there a time or two. Just wanted to say HI.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a guy who was in MCB-62. We were in Nam in Phu Bai in '66 -'67. He was a lot older then me and was our hut mom. We were in 'A" company. I often wondered if he's still living. His name was "Pappy" Lemon. This is all I know about him except in '69 he was with MCB 53 in Danang.
I need some suggestions on how I could find some info on him.
Thanks,
John T. Byrum, Jr.
Chesapeake, Va.
