I, LCpl Larry Tyler served in Hotel Company 2/5 from Jan 19, 1969, to June 30, 1969, as an 0311. After two weeks in country, I volunteered to carry the squad/platoon radio. I walked point for about 10 weeks. After a heat stroke out in the Arizona Territory during a firefight, I was medivaced to the NSA Hospital in DaNang on May 9th, 1969. After recovery and four weeks of light duty in An Hoa, I was transferred to 2/5 H&S located at Phu Loc 6 and became the battalion commander’s radio operator, bodyguard, and jeep driver. Spent 3 months on Hill 65. I left Vietnam on Jan 9, 1969, and landed in San Francisco four days later after being in Okinawa for two days.
I maintain this website. I decided to create this website rather than write a book no one would read. Would be glad to hear from anyone who served in 2/5 during the Vietnam War. My email is: ltyler@hotel25vv.org.
