When my brother served two tours in Vietnam he visited friends and acquaintances who were also stationed there. If Brother Doug had the internet, he could have expanded the number of hometown contacts.

Let the folks from back home know who you are and where you are. There may be a Roanoke-Chowan serviceman at your base with whom you can connect!

Send us a message,
and maybe a photograph - state your name, hometown and location to us at roanoke-chowan.com.
