To whom it may concern:
Please,
I am requesting my available unit rosters for the purpose of establishing a service connection to my disability. I have included a copy of my DD-214 to aid in my identification and information. My unit was 138th Aviation Company during my tour of duty in Vietnam. It is my intention to locate someone from the roster to verify my undocumented account of events. I am attempting to find proof of a “stressor”. I have been denied service connection for my disability and I need this evidence to win the appeal.
According to the last reply dated March 7, 2007: “If a search of morning reports and/or rosters is required, please provide a specific three month period to be searched. Also, please explain the specific information that needs to be verified. Limited staff and budget restrictions preclude a search of the morning reports beyond a period of three months.”
I apologize for my lack of understanding and familiarity of your abilities. In short, I am unable to help you help me. Brain Trauma is the specific information that needs to be verified. I accessed my medical records with inconclusive results. Please search any Rosters over the three month period of April, May, & June of 1970. There is the remote possibility of a familiar name and verification of a stressor. I am doing my best to narrow the search.
I was awarded a top-secret clearance. My duties included; perimeter patrols, and driving alone when necessary to acquire supplies. I started my tour in Saigon, and relocated to Da Nang, Phu Bai, and Hue, always moving north closer to the DMZ. In Da Nang my duties included, but were not limited to: bunker patrol, watch tower surveillance, fueling aircraft, and running supply missions. Initially relocating to Phu Bai there was confusion and disarray. Rank, authority, and assignments were unclear. I had to pull guard duty, outside patrols, stringing razor wire, setting up clamors, and fetch the supplies and on patrols at Phu Bai. Da Nang was continually rocketed. In Da Nang I was on tower watch. I was coming down the tower, there was gunfire and I fell to the ground. While running supplies between Phu Bai and Hue I stopped at a military base to pick up food and gunfire broke out. It was a friendly fire suicide mission. Driving a ten wheel truck alone in Vietnam and on one mission the road was washed out and with all ten wheels spinning I sank deeper into the mud. Soon gunfire broke out and I ran for cover. That was during the move from De Nang to Phu Bai. Possible motor pool report in Phu Bai.
A search of my morning reports and/or rosters is required. Please search at your discretion for anything you find interesting. Any Morning Reports focused around May 15th and later may also provide a clue. Time permitting also anything with my name during my last two weeks in country (11/70) is a bonus.
Any reflection of my induction or existence will be physically, mentally, and personally appreciated, Jim Raab

To whom it may concern.
I am requesting all or any of my available Vietnam service record information and or the appropriate means to obtain information. It is my understanding that unit assignments, unit rosters, hospital treatment, and morning reports should be available to me as they are for my fellow applicants of pension. The information is needed for the purpose of establishing a service connection to my PTSD disability. I am rated at 100% total and permanent disabled but unable to verify my whereabouts. I have included a copy of my DD-214 to aid in my identification and information. I was originally assigned to the Embassy in Saigon. I was transferred to unit (138th Avn Co) and again relocated during my tour of duty in Vietnam. The relocation was broken down into small groups. A separate roster for each location should have been created during the relocation. Of particular interest to me is that relocation time period however it is the summation of all the unit rosters during my assignment I am counting on. It is my intention to locate someone from the roster to verify my undocumented account of events. I am attempting to find proof of a “stressor”. I have been denied service connection for my disability and I need this evidence to approve my appeal.
Please advise me as to the proper procedure for acquiring this information. I would like to know how to limit the unit rosters to those containing my name, or specifying only electronic technician, or eliminating other military police. I would like to find any information pertaining to any personnel at the PhuBai motor pool and or supply depot. Maps of that period and location would also be helpful. As I have to date not found any information pertaining to me something that proved my existence in Vietnam would be a good starting point for me.
