My Father was the C.O. of the USCG Point Caution 82301. I've been lucky to see many pictures of their activities out of D Nang for Squadron 1 Div 12 as well as heard a few stories. Thanks for the video.
My father, the late Charles F. Slavin, was stationed in Vietnam from May 1968 to May 1969. He was assigned on board the 82-footer Point Lomas. I am so happy to find your slideshow. I am, very late in life, attempting to learn more about my father's service during the war. Luckily, we do have some keepsakes, including the plaque with "Squadron 1" emblazoned on it - and many of Dad's reel-to-reel tapes sent from Vietnam. Thank you for posting this. Ken Slavin

Thanks for the informative video. I'm retired Navy and have a lot of respect for the members of the USCG.

Music ran me off.
Pictures, okay, but not so the music.
Couldn't watch this ..music is extremely annoying
Come on man! The music is ridiculous!!!!!
Certainly not the music of Vietnam.
Good presentation, but what's with the music? It's just awful! What were you thinking?
