Have noticed there are several new sign on that served during my late husbands tour of duty with the 458th and would like to here from any of you who knew SSGT. James H. Anderson. Known to most as SGT. Andy. He was not really assigned to any one spot and moved around alot with Lt. Ed Riley. Would love to here any stories or memories of him. Email: mamaw9929@aol.com

I a unit commander of the 458th. I recently visited the Transportation Corps Museum at Fort Eustis, Virginia. I was (am am) offended that there is virtually nothing about the 458th there. I have felt, and still do, that the Transportation Corps has forgotten about us and the mission that we performed, without expectation! I am actually surprised that we have been ignored or overlooked. The whole of the Transportation Corps are "history hogs" and are constantly seeking credit for what any element of the Corps does, & did. I mean no slur or insult; but my experience with many of the "high rollers" of the Corps supports my belief. As the 458th PBRs were so unique, there has never been, was no other, nor probably will be again a unit like that. Yet, the Corps is complacent to let this "page" of its history go unrecognized. Sometimes I wonder if it is because none of what the 458th did could fall within the range of missions of the infamous 7th Transportation Group, from then until now. Would love to hear from members of the unit. If there is anything that I can do to assist with documenting the record of this unit, please do let me know. I came upon the 458th web site almost by accident. Since "those good old days" are so long ago, I had file-away and buried a lot of details about then. I know that I have (had) pictures, reports, and even some old 8mm movies of the unit, areas, and equipment. Anyone remember the floating pier we built on South Beach? How about the typhoon that was projected to be heading directly for us (If it had hit, the people, unit, and history would not have been)? There's a few stories about missions and people, that I remember and would not even consider placing in an email message. I hope all members of the unit will remember to hold their heads high. We did what we were asked; for the most part, we did what we were asked better and faster than anticipated. We scared the hell out of both friends and the enemy. Frequently, the distinction between friend and enemy was blurred since neither wanted much to do with us. Email: sellersp@jobe.net

Trying to locate a Capt Amick mentioned by Jimmy Bryant w/the 485th. Also, on 4 May 68, Ninth Inf, 6/31 was crossing the river in a Whale Boat when one fell over and drowned. Looking for anyone that remembers that day. Thx. Bruce. Email: BruceSwander@hotmail.com

FROM 1999 LOST GUEST BOOK 2/16/01, 4:14 PM To: Lee Helle (Keeper of the 458 Trans Co. history) I joined the 458 Trans Co. at Ft. Story, Va. in June of 66. We boarded a troop ship in Norfolk in Sept. 66 and sailed to Vietnam (31 days). Our LARC's arrived in Oct. 66. Our company area was at Cam Rahn Bay, however we deployed small detachments up to Na Trang, and down at Phan Thiet. We hauled everything from slot machines to napalm, chickens/hamburger to 155/105 ammo. The LARC V was powered by a 300hp Cummings diesel, and was rated to carry 5 tons. They were slow, but really fun to take out through big surf. We had 50 of them in the company, with 200 drivers, and a maintenance platoon. I and most of the original 458 folks left at the end of our 1 year (Sept 67). One of the replacements, who I became friends with in civilian life 6 years later, told me about the conversion to Boston Whalers. If you have any questions about the early days of the LARC's and the 458 TC, please drop me a line or give me a call.

Served with the 284th MP Company (Long Binh Jail) from July 6,1969 until December 31, 1969. From January 1, 1970 through April 1970 I was Squad Leader in an Ambush Unit with B Company 720th MP BN.

On August 1, 1970 B Company was disbanded and we were sent to Da Nang to assist the Marines and the Armed Forces Police to perform regular MP duty. I Left Vietnam on 10 September 1970.
