136. Need Help

Wed Feb 19, 2020, 03:12 PM

Feb 2020

Hello

My name is David Anthony Catania.
I am from Hammond, Louisiana.
I joined the Army June 2, 1969 and served through February 4, 1972.
I went to basic training at Fort Polk, LA.
I went to AIT at Redstone Arsenal, AL & Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
My MOS was 34G20 Radar Repairman.
My serial number is RA 15903812.
I was sent to serve to the 78th LEM Panzer Kaserne Boeblingen Germany.

NONE of my military records reflect my boot on the ground in Vietnam.

I need a buddy letter placing me at 147th LEM Long Binh for 60 days.

I hope you can help.

If not, please tell me the name of the First Sergeant and Company Commander so I can ask them for documentation.

Thanking you in advance.

David Catania
