In 1968 I paid a dime for the paper. Today it will cost you fifty cents and a dollar for the Sunday paper.
There are three versions. European, Mid East, and Pacific.

HI, I’m looking for a little guidance. I am the locator for a company of Vietnam Veterans. They had the “honor” of having a Stars and Stripes reporter with them on a number of missions in Quang Tri in 1970/71. They would really like to find the man and talk to him again.
His name was Dan K. Evans. I believe he was from up state New York but I’m afraid that’s all I know about him.
The company was C 1-11th 5th Infantry (Mech) at that time company Commander was Captain Barry S. Buckley.
Thanks for listening, if there is any help it is frosting on the cake. My joy comes from the fact that I’ve spent close to 7 years reuniting these guys. I lovingly call them “my grunts” and count them as my friends.
Thanks Jeanne Mac.
Jeanne, Perhaps someone will read your comment and be able to help. Have you tried sending an email to the Stars and Stripes? Most of those folks, from back then, have probably retired or moved on, but someone there may point you in the right direction.

I have an article that may interest you from April, 1971 that was front page of Stars & Stripes of a bar bombing in Saigon that killed 2 and injured many…if you wish I can email it to you..
Scott, I’d be glad to post it. Thanks for stopping in.
Would like to have a copy of a story ran in the 1968 Stars and Stripes about “Marines turn table on NVA ambush”. Would have been published probably in the August issue. It was about an ambush that happened on July 28, 1968.
Thanks,
Jimmy
Jimmy, if you go to the electronic newspaper there is a section of Archives. This is what is listed.
Archive services
The Stars and Stripes library staff provides research services utilizing our archives, which date back to 1942 for the European edition and 1945 for the Pacific edition. To contact the library staff, e-mail information@stripes.osd.mil.
I’m not sure if it’s free or not, but they may be able to help you.

Looking for digital copies, if available, Stars and Stripes from March-April 1968 time period, regarding the Battle of Khe Sahn.
Jim, look at my post, Stars and Stripes Newspaper articles. You can make requests to the S&S newspaper.
I am trying to locate Security Police assigned to Udorn RTAFB during the ground attack against a C-141 Transport aircraft. I know of at least two killed, on a Thai Guard and a Crew Chief? assigned to the aircraft. I never knew the name of the Crew chief who was killed. I spoke to him just before he was killed.
thanks,
Billy
attack was 26 July 1968
thanks,

Billy, hopefully someone will read this and be able to give you some info.
My brother was in Vietnam 1968-1970,Norman Samples (Tex) he was in the Charlie Company 2-503 173rd(English) Army. He was wounded in mid 1970. He had a best friend Victor Rosales same unit.
Norman shut down and would not write home. Victor would write mother and let her know that Norman was OK. The last time Norman went out on a mission, Victor went on a separate mission. That’s when Norman was wounded. That was the last time they saw each other. I have been looking for Victor all over the internet. Can not find much on their unit. Also checkout 173rd Chapter 5 Assoc. without any luck. I can not believe that their unit does not have very much information out there. I was checking to see what stars and strips might have. Can you help? My email is grocker@peoplepc.com. Please contact me if you or anyone can help, It would be deeply appreciated.
Thank You
Glenda Crocker
Glenda, good luck. I hope someone reading this can give you some help.
