July/August 2015 Fifty Years Ago:
By the time Power Pack ended in September of 1966, some 40,000 U.S. troops had been deployed to the Dominican; 27 were killed in action and 172 wounded. “Many Army men and Marines were in both Vietnam” and the Dominican Republic, said Bruce McConoughey, Vice President of VVA West Shore Chapter 249 in Lakewood, Ohio, who served in the Dominican with the 649th Supply & Service Company. “I was lucky and spent the rest of my service at Fort Benning,” McConoughey said. “Bob Pitts, the president of our chapter, went in during the amphibious landing on Red Beach and was gone before I was sent there as a replacement. He was sent to Vietnam.” |
