I hope that this website will grow to include not only what little I remember and can share about Dak To, but to include other information from other soldiers that were there and fought in some of the largest engagements of the war.
Any stories you care to share will be added to this website. Send me your story and/or photos. I'll add them to the Stories page here. Sorry, you can't upload directly, too many spammers.
To contact me, send email to erniecamacho@comcast.net.
As an alternative to emailing me, you can leave a comment on this Blog page.
I hope to hear from all you Dak To Vets!

How to identify a photo:
In order for me to add a caption to a photo, I need to know what photo you are referring to. Do this in Windows:
1. While viewing the photo, right-click the photo and choose "Open Link in New Window", or "Open Image in New Tab". A new window will display that photo. Note: the wording in the pop-up window will change, depending on the browser you use.
2. Highlight the text in the URL address at the top of the new window. Press Ctrl and "C" to copy that text into the clipboard. It will look like this:
http://www.daktomemories.com/uploads/1/3/4/7/134791198/img903_orig.jpg
(the "img903_orig.jpg" is the name of the photo. The rest of the line is the location of the photo.)
3. Paste that whole line of text into an email, and send it to me, along with your description.
Sorry, I'm not a Mac user. I'm sure the procedure is similar.
Here is another way to point to a specific photo:
The photos are in a grid of rows and columns. You can say "runway page, 3rd row, 2nd column". That is down 3, right 2. That should work.

Other military action at Dak To
This website is focused on the military operations at Dak To during the time that I was there. Operation Greeley started in June, 1967. It morphed into Operation MacArthur in October, 1967 and lasted until February, 1968. That is the time period covered here.
There were other operations before and and after this time. Operation Hawthorne was run out of Dak To I airstrip, in 1966. The battle of Kontum in 1969 included action at Dak To. In 1969, the 299th Engineers had a major fight at the Dak To airfield.
Since this website is dedicated to Dak To, and these operations involved Dak To, I feel it would be appropriate for those stories to be told here.
If you have information on military operations outside of operations Greeley and MacArthur, I would be honored to add them to this website.
