Someone sent us a link to the Vietnam Veterans of America Veteran Online – Locator<\/a> wherein someone named Larry Hertenstein, in Ray, Ohio, was trying to locate a fellow Vietnam veteran who had been a POW with him in Da Nang;<\/p>\n

Looking for Greg Boggs. We were in a Da Nang POW camp in the winter of 1969 and escaped when a Huey flew over the camp and the Vietnamese were busy trying to shoot it down. We were in the jungle for a week until they stopped looking for us. Once we made it back, we were separated. Contact: Larry Hertenstein,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, I wasn’t in Vietnam, but, I seem to remember that Da Nang was in South Vietnam and the only POW Camps would have been run by the US or an ally in 1969. So we checked on Hertenstein’s records. He was an M60 gunner for much of his time in Vietnam from May 1969 – March 1970 (when the 3\/26th Marines returned from Vietnam). He earned a Combat Action Ribbon for his service there. But, no he wasn’t a POW according to the DPAA;<\/p>\n
