My name is Jim Stewart and I
served in Vietnam from October of
1966 to October of 1968. I also
worked there as a civilian for two
years until July, 1970. I served with
the 552nd, 300th, 560th, 527th ,
and"C"CO of the 716th MP BN. I
left for Vietnam when I was 19, and
came home just a few months shy
of my 24th birthday. I met and
served with a lot of fine men.
I know a lot of us have wondered
what happened to the buddies we
served with. Hopefully this site will
be read by some of the MP vets
and put them in touch with the
friends and soldiers that they
served with.
