From December 2009: My name is Debra Sellers Underwood. My
brother Jeffrey Lynn Sellers served aboard
the USS LY Spear from I believe it was 1979 - 1980. He passed away
while
onboard the ship. I'm looking for anyone who would have served with
him.
Especially trying to locate a Mr. Henry Canada who my brother lived
with in
Norfolk, VA and he also escorted my brothers body back home. I would
love to
hear from anyone that knew my brother. Please contact me at this email
address: debdiane1961@msn.com. Thank you so much for your help and for
putting together a site that helps to
keep my brothers memory alive.
Here
is another request for anyone with a
BIOT server to log in to a website so their "flag counter" can get a
BIOT flag:
Hello everybody,
i am another one bothering for getting BIOT flag in the flagcounter of
my site.
You are my last possibility, i'm not able to find anyone paying me a
visit. God
bless the one that will click on one of my two links:
www.last.fm/user/Ijiraq
http://profile.myspace.com/415340582
Ok i know, there is almost nothing in them, but i only use these two
pages for
my collection.

My_Quest = anyone else have sarcoids
My_Warstory = I am writing for my brother Mark who has
been slowly dying from sarcoids. I think he got it from serving on
Diego Garcia
and building a landing strip. He inhaled all that dust while operating
heavy
machinery and building the landing strip during the Vietnam War.
Has anyone else out there had similar problems? Please help him
get his service connected rating for
sarcoids.

Here's
another
interesting request for someone who's got an old license plate from DG:
Hello
its very hard to find a contact to your
Islands ! BIOT!
I am shure you understand me, I am a serious
collector of
CAR REGISTRATION PLATES, and there are NO CARS there are other vehicles
as
bikes, ( 1990 ) which had plates in Diego Garcia.
I have the world nearly complete,but NOT
B.I.O.T.islands.
Do you see a chance to help me ? maybe they are in garages, police,
government,
old friends which had a bike and a bike plate ?
I send you any amount you need in U $ or EURO.
Meanhile there are also a few cars .. BIOT 12
with very
low numbers. May interest is a car number - did you hear about that
from the
British Club ????
Any hope for me to get help ???
Thank you. Best regards from Germany

unusual request from Alexandra Rios
[alexandra.rios.diaz@googlemail.com] on August 2, 2009:
Dear
mister,
I have one
simple requests for you and I really hope you can help me with this.
I'm missing
BIOT flag in my flag counter and I don't know anyone to
ask to help me with this.
You can help
me with your local IP. The only thing you need to do is click either
on my last.fm page or My Space
account and the
flag is registrated. The links are:

I hope this
does not make any trouble for you! I thank you in advance and truly
appreciate your effort.
With best
regards all the way from Barbados,
Alexandra Rios
What you'll find on her sites is a hit counter that shows where
visitors' servers are located. So mine just registered another US
flag. The only server I can think of out there is with C&W,
so if any of you have an account with them, go to one of Alexandra's
pages and give her a BIOT flag on her counter. Plus, of you go to
her myspace page, she's got a pretty hot picture of herself...

the best and I just discovered some folks I hadn't heard from in years.
Now I am looking for a couple of old buddies
that I lost contact with. They are STEVE RILEY AND STEVE HAWKINS, both Navy helo
pilots who served on Diego between 1986-87. I would very much

My father had a life long career in the Seabees. He served all over the
world. His last deployment was to Camp David Maryland where he was the
President's gardner. He fought in Korea, World War II and two tours in
Vietnam. His name was Robert (pappy) Magaro.
If you could help me with this in any way I would be very grateful.

Anyway,
REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL FEELINGS OR LOYALTIES ABOUT EITHER MYSELF OR
STEVE,
PLEASE HELP! THERE IS A YOUNG ADULT WOMAN WHO WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO
KNOW WHO HER FATHER IS.
Her
father is (former?) Royal Marine Steve Peter
Morgan.
He was a radio operator and was on the island until December
1989.
He followed on to the Command Training Centre in Lympstone, Exsmouth,
Devon.
I have not heard from him since I was about 6 months pregnant, and have
had difficulty tracking him down because his name is so common. A
mutual Brit friend indicated Steve may have married an American and
left
the service not long after leaving the island.
Again, if you have any information that may help me to find him, my
daughter
would really appreciate it.
[Editor's
Note: Come on you guys, I know someone out there knows
Steve.
Tell him to be a man about this and contact Diana so his daughter can
make
contact!]

REUNION
ANNOUNCEMENT - AMERICAN AMPHIBIOUS FORCE ASSOCIATION
HERE WE GO
AGAIN
“GATORS”,
It’s time to
mark
your
calendars and start planning the AAFA Reunion being held at the
home
of the LST 325 in Evansville, IN. What a great week has been
planned
for you to take advantage of either all or in part.
The dates run
from
Tuesday,
the 25th of September 2007 to Sunday, the 30th
of
September, 2007. The base of operations will be: The Executive
Inn
Evansville, 600 Walnut Street, Evansville, IN 47708. We have
rooms
blocked in anticipation of a large turnout.
You may make
your
room
reservations by calling the Executive Inn Evansville, in Evansville by
calling their toll-free number 1-877-424-0888. Please acknowledge to
them
you are part of the AAFA to get the favorable rate of $75.00 per night
(plus taxes), which includes breakfast for two (2) each morning. You
will
be given coupons upon check-in.
Because of the
large
turnout for the weekend, I would strongly recommend you making your
reservation
EARLY, as rooms go very fast. They are already sold out of any
unblocked
rooms on the 28th and 29th. Make your reservation as you will have the
opportunity to cancel 72 hrs prior without any charge.
The program
for the
week
is as follows:
Registration fee $25.00
Banquet $25.00 (Friday 9/28/07) They will give us reserved tables!
USO Show $10.00 (Saturday Eve 9/29/07]
Breakfast aboard LST 325 – FREE (*)
(or you can opt for having breakfast at the hotel)
LCVP “Higgins Boat” rides – FREE (*)
LVT “Amphibious Tank” rides – FREE (*)
Casino Aztar (Evening) reception – FREE (*) [Wednesday 9/26/07]
Reception “On Board” LST 325 – FREE (*) [Thursday Eve 9/27/07]
Hotel “Presidential Suite” Hospitality Room – FREE (*)
Bus to Evansville Shipyard site (where the LST’s were built – FREE (*)
Bus to Eastland Mall (shopping) – FREE (*)
Bus to Evansville Museum (tour) – FREE (*)
(*) PLEASE
NOTE THE
ITEMS
MARKED; THESE EVENTS ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE REGISTRATION FEE ($25.00)
PER PERSON.
Here is the
BIG ONE:
They
are going to have a couple of cruises on the LST 325, which will last
approximately
2 to 2 ½ hrs on Thursday 9/27/07. The only catch to it is, AND
THIS
IS BECAUSE OF INSURANCE PURPOSES, you must be a member of the LST 325
Memorial.
Some of us are already members. After having discussions with the
powers
to be, they have agreed to give the AAFA an exclusive cruise (AAFA
people
only) if we can come up with 150 members in the LST 325 Memorial. The
cost
would be $20.00 per person and this would give you membership and the
AAFA
exclusive cruise. Please see the form to be filled out and returned to
the treasurer, Dave Miller.
Also, if you
are
interested,
for $20.00 you can have an “airplane flyover of the LST and city. Check
our sign up sheet for that.
We will have a
SMALL
hospitality
room, which will be available for each LST to hold a meeting, if they
wish,
or do with what we want.
The $25.00
registration
fee gets you into ALL the FREE events and BUS transportation to the
events
and the ship all week.
It is really a
very
busy
week and you can participate in all and/or any part of it. It sure
would
be nice if we could get enough to participate and have an “EXCLUSIVE”
cruise
on the “325”. You could not “BUY” this cruise at this price, anywhere!
I already know of 4 or 5 who are members of the LST 325 Memorial.
Looking
forward to
having
“EVERYONE” there.
Respectfully,
The Reunion
Committee

OF MY STORY: = Other
MY
WARSTORY = My daughter, Andrea, was a member of the crew of the L.Y.
Spear,
out of Norfolk, VA. Her ship was called up during the Iranian Crisis in
1980. She was never where she was supposed to be at the time to
be
there, she had more Captain's Mast's than anybody else I know of. She
wound
up in the brig and in the engine room, on bread and water, while in
Diego
Garcia. But, she was a brilliant woman of 18 who didn't know who she
was.
She could have attended Annapolis, but puposely flunked the test so she
could follow in her father's footsteps (he was in the Merchant Marine
at
the time)around the world. So, she opted for a ship, and she got the
SPEAR.
She became one of the first women Shellbacks on a non-combatant vessel.
Her father never became a Shellback, since he was on non-navy ships
while
crossing, but he was an Officer in the Naval Reserve, so Andrea saluted
him when they were together. Andrea was a sweet, kind, and generous
woman,
who loved her family very much - maybe that is why she screwed up her
naval
career and lasted only two years until it was mutually agreed upon that
she exit the service. She was married, first marriage, to Fred
Cosier, who was aboard the LY SPEAR - has
anyone heard of him? or heard from him recently? He doesn't know that
our
Andrea, at age 40, died of breast, lung and brain cancer on July
19,2002.
We miss her terribly and these websites really contribute to our well
being.
She is up in heaven now, looking down upon all of you, all of us,
sending
nothing but golden words to cover our heads as we plow along in life.
If
you knew her, please send me an e-mail at: Clara19126@msn.com - I am

was
sittin

site
and see if there were any new exciting or funny stories since I was
there
2 years ago, (wow time does fly!) Man you sure get sick of that
place
after a while. It was definatly fun as hell and I had some awesome
experiences
while I was there. I met some really cool people there, one in
particular
that I grew very fond of, his nickname is OZZ.
We had some pretty fun and memorable times together,to say the least:)!
He was so awesome and wish I was in contact with him now. He made my
time
there go by so fast, he left before me and I was heartbroken:( We kept
in contact for a while afterward and for no apparrent reason I don't
hear
from him anymore and don't even know how to contact him. That makes me
really sad because he was so awesome and I just hate someone as special
as him to just dissappear so suddenly out of my life. If it
wasn't
for this crazy island that I just so happened to get lucky enough to
get
sent to I wouldn't have had the amazing experiences I had or met some
really
cool people and saw such awesome things! The ocean is beautiful not to
mention the beautiful white sand that looks like snow! The beautiful
sunrises
and sunsets on this "paradise". The tropical rains that last for days!!
Ahhh the memories, seems like so long ago yet just like yesterday.
Wierd
to think that I was on such a long flight to and from that far away
island!!!

I'M
NOT A HERO JUST A MAN WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY AND DID
IT
WILLINGLY. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT A LOT OF MEN WOULDN'T HAVE DONE. I
DID WHAT I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO DO , AND I DID IT BECAUSE I WANTED TOO.
I SERVED MY TIME AND WAS GLAD I DID/ AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN
EVEN/THOUGH
I MIGHT DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY/KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW. I'M WRITING THIS
STORY BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH AS I KNOW IT TO BE, AND MAYBE IT CAN HELP
US ALL TO KNOW IT.
THE
SHIP
I WAS ON THE USS EDSON DD946 WAS A GOOD SHIP WITH A GOOD CREW AND A
VERY
GOOD SKIPPER. WE DID OUR BEST TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY.
WE
WERE
IN THE WATERS OF VIETNAM AND WERE IN DANGER MANY TIMES, CLOSE TO THE
COAST
AND NEAR THE SHORE. WE WEREW UNDER ENEMY FIRE MANY TIMES, AND EVEN GOT
HIT.I REMEMBER BEING SCARED A FEW TIMES/ OR MAYBE YOU MIGHT SAY
EXCEITED.
ON
THE
MORNING
OF MAY 8TH 1967, WE PULLED INTO THE HARBOR OF DANANG. VIETNAM. WE TIED
TO THE PIER IN A FUNNY KINDA .IT WAS A SMALL PIER. THE FANTAIL OF THE
SHIP
WAS TIED TO THE PIER,AND THE BOW STUCK WAY OUT.WE HAD TO DROP THE
STARBOARD
ANCHOR AS THE SHIP WAS TOO BIG TO FIT THE PIER.I BIEING THE JACK OF THE
DUST WAS ALONG WITH A FEW OTHERS,ALOUD TO GO ASHORE TO SEE WHAT THEY
HAD
IN THE LINE OF SUPPLIES THAT THEY MAY HAVE HAD ON BASE THERE. I SPENT
ALMOST
TWO HOURS ON SHORE BEFORE IT WAS TIME TO GET BACK TO THE SHIP.
WE
GOT
BACK
JUST BEFORE THE COMADORE AND HIS ENTARAGE GOT BACK.
WHILE I
WAS
ON THE FANTAIL OF THE SHIP WAITING FOR THE SHIP TO GET UNDERWAY , AN
AIRPLANE
THAT WAS SPRAYING ON THE SHORELINE FLEW OVER THE FANTIAL OH THE SHIP.
WHAT
EVER IT WAS SPRAYING,IT SPRAYED ON ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS SPRAYING FOR
BUGS
AND I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY . I GOT A GOOD DOSE OF
WHAT
EVER CAME OUT OF THE PLANE.
WE
WERE
YOUNG AND THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY THAT THEY TRY TO SPRAY A SHIP.WE HAD A
GOOD
LAUGH BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD CAUSE MY DAUGHTER TO BE BORN WITH
A HOLE IN HER BACK . SHE WAS BORN WITH SPINAL/BIFIDIA.
THE
DECK
LOGS OH THE SHIP SHOW PEOPLE GETTING ON AND OFF THE SHIP. THESE SAME
PEOPLE
WERE ON THE SHIP BEFORE WE DOCKED AND ANCHORED!HOW DID THEY DID THEY
GET
ON AND THE SAME WAY I DID THEY WALKED.
YET
THE
VETERNS AFFAIRS STILL SAYS THAT I'M NOT AN IN COUNTRY VETERAN AND
REFUSES
TO GIVE MY DAUGHTER TO MONIES THAT SHE DESERVES/SHE DIDN'T ASK TO BE
BORN
WITH A HOLE IN HER BACK.

He should have reported around '90. I really appreciate your help.
I
am trying to find some information on a friend of mine. He and I
served together onboard the USS King DDG41 when he took a 1 year
assignment
to DG. Nobody ever heard from him again. Our ship's website
informs us that he is deceased but nobody knows anything more than that.
Would you mind posting an inquiry on the site to see if anybody knows
anything
about Mark Gordy, MM3 USN?
He was a great guy, genuine and good hearted that just wanted to find a
place that offered him cold beer and softball games 365 days a
year.
DG sounded like heaven to him.
He left a lasting impression on all that met him so something should
pop
up, even if its just info that he completed his tour in good health and
moved on. My email is patrickg_dwyer@hotmail.com in the event
that
you can do something for me. Thank you in advance for your

"Lenhoff, Sarah A. LT (ROICC)" <LenhoffS@dg.navy.mil>
Mr.
Morris,
My name is LT Sarah Lenhoff. I am a CEC Officer stationed on Diego
Garcia
and I have been looking through your websites over the last couple of
months.
I enjoy reading everybody experiences and viewing pictures of what the
island look like back then. A lot has changed, including the mixture of
personnel. There are only about 40 CBs left on this island, half of
which
belong to a rotating Detachment from the active Battalions in Port
Hueneme
and Gulf Port. The rest of us are considered permanent party (usually 1
year rotations) and occupy jobs in the Public Works Department. What we
still have in common is being known for our parting and troublemaker
attitudes.
I am writing because I am in charge of the Diego Garcia Seabee Ball,
which
will be held on 11 February of next year. After reviewing your
online
pictures, I was wondering if you had high resolution digital pictures
that
you could send me via email. As I am sure you are aware, the pictures
located
your website are of lower quality and are almost impossible to enlarge
without loosing resolution. I would need pictures around 1 to 2 MB in
size
in order to properly enlarge and print them. If you have them
available,
I will let you pick which pictures you would like to send. I would need
around 10 good ones of places around the island or CBs doing what they
do best.
Please let me know if I can be of any service in updating your webpage.
Thank
you.

From: FiddleDee@aol.com
My name is Dee Anna Braxton. I live in North
Carolina.
I have an uncle who we can't find. His last known place of
residence
was Diego Garcia where he worked on a dock doing (I think) refueling
for
many years (1977 through 1985). He was an Army vet but was
working
there for the Navy. His name is Jesse R. (which stands for
Rupert)
Edwards. His family in the states lived in El Paso TX but
originally
he is from Rose Hill NC. I haven't seen him since my momma (his
sister)
died in 1984. My father died this spring and I was going through
some old boxes of my mom's stuff and found more info to help me locate
him. His family in TX hasn't helped me so I figure I am on my
own.
I have some stuff that belonged to his father that rightfully should be
his to give his daughter. I would love to find him. He is quite a
character. Someone in your bunch should have some knowledge of
him.
Please help. I am running out of family.
