US Veterans of Foreign Wars

[PuyaiJerry]

Hello All
I am a Vietnam War veteran and am interested in making contact with other US foreign war veterans living in and around Buriram. I do not get up on Buriram Expats as often as I would like so please send your responses to jer4siam@hotmail.com.
Thank You

The reason I'm trying to contact American foreign war veterans is to let them know there is a Veterans of Foreign Wars Post (VFW Post No. 10217) in Korat, which was formed during the Vietnam War. Anyone wanting more info on the Post can contact me by tel (08-7826-4098) or email: jer4siam@hotmail.com.

Hi Jerry

Not sure how many in this area, but think there are some in Khorat as I believe a lot were stationed there during the war.

Best of luck in your search.

But there are some of us.  I met a Vet from the 1st CAV at the Bamboo Bar, and a SEAL at the Thep-nakorn during breakfast.   

   Operation Anaconda 2002 Vet.   

Have a great day.

Hey there, Very interesting topic. I served 8 years in the U.S. Army and was wondering the same myself. I fought in Iraq and got out in 2005. I moved to Buriram about a year ago. This sounds like we need to get something started. Maybe have a barbeque or something like that...

Wow, this goes with what I have been finding, there are few Yanks in Buriram, and even fewer Vets.

I know of a few guys in Surin and one is active for the VFW assoc.
I will send him a link to this thread and then leave it up to him.

I am not sure, but think they work out of Korat. If you would like me to find out for you, maybe we can communicate via PM.

Yes. Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) is their meeting place. I remember talking with one guy long time ago he told me they have meetings every now and than.... I don't know much further details because they don't have a website or any organized information over the internet.
*Maybe you can PM/Call the OP on top of this thread because he lives in Buriram province and told me he is going to these meetings.

The VFW in Korat is here:

But these are guys trying to do something, not the party vets.

what exactly are they "trying" to do?

[Dave the Dude]

I know they have raised funds/bought supplies for the Tree of Life Orphanage IN BURIRAM.

So they cannot be that bad can they. Good on them!
