My name is Larry Barnett. I am a Veteran of the Siagon "Frequent Wind" Evacuation, as well as a part of the assault force of Koh Tang island May 15, 1975, for what was to be a rescue of the crew of the SeaLand container ship SS Mayaguez.

This project is an ongoing one, and represents all I have found out thus far about the SS Mayaguez rescue operation and Koh Tang(Tang Island) assault in May, 1975. Check back for new and interesting items!

We have a VFW Post. Post 11575 is dedicated to the Mayaguez and her participants. The post site is under construction as well as mine. If you are not a member, please contact me for further info on how to join. Thanks Monte for the great jump.
