My dad was 3rd Engineer & Shore Party in Vietnam. He was in Vietnam from Dec '68-Dec '69.
I was Charlie Company 3rd Shore Party 68-69

I'm pretty sure he was Charlie Co. As well. His name is Larry Jones. He cleared out places for helicopters to land to load/unload supplies and/or wounded/dead soldiers
That's exactly what I did, among a slew of other things.
If your Dad was in 3rd Shore Party, he would have been pulled out of Nam July of 69 and sent to Okinawa.

Is there a difference in '3rd Engineer & Shore Party'
and just '3rd Shore Party' because he was there til Dec of 69. I talked to him about it very briefly today but he was busy and I was in a hurry aaaand he doesn't remember some things from then...... so we didn't really get anything figured out
Yes, There was 3rd Engineers and then 3rd Shore Party
