    Dave,  below is the info you requested.  It's all I can remember and I hope this will suffice.  Thanks,  Joe Damiata

 

    I went to Vietnam around March 1, 1966.  I was an MP in Quin Nhon for a couple of months when openings for sentry dog handler's school came up.  Some buddies and I went to Okinawa to train for approximately one month and then we went back to Vietnam in various locations.  My dog's name was Duke, a gray with black saddle German Shepherd.  I don't remember his number.  I was his third handler as far as I know.  I ended up with the 212th MP Co, Dog Handler's in Ban Me Thout providing security for 155/165 Aviation Co's.  I don't remember our detachment number.  It was a long time ago.  This was about July 1, 1966.  I was there until the end of February, 1967 when I came back to the states.  I then went to Ft Rucker, Alabama and spent my last six months as an MP with the 141st MP Co.    Any other questions, please contact me.   Thanks,  Joe Damiata
