He was a Marines Marine. The Hill Site (#55) was later named Camp MUIR. I was a FTL, there, then, and a Rifleman In Kilo 3/3. We wore stateside utilities, blk lthr boots and had no flak jkts. Every time we crossed "The River" we died. That's where I learned to "never make friends, or get to know anyone too well personally".

May all who have labored in her design and construction enjoy inner satisfaction of a work skillfully and faithfully done. May each of us cheerish the rememberance of the heroic, young Marine, Private First Class Oscar P. Austin, whose name and memory will grace this ship: how he honored our nation with his faithful service; how he courageously entered the fray of battle to rescue another; how he committed the surpreme sacrifice in the name of liberty. As we christen OSCAR AUSTIN, we commend her and all who will serve aboard her to Thy guidance and watchcare. Grant that she be used ever in the pursuit of peace and the defense of freedom. And grant that her officers and crew may serve with devoted honor, sacrificial courage, and perserving commitment to all that is worthy. To these requests we add our supplications for the President of the United States and all in civil or military authority. We ask Your blessing, also, upon all those who serve in the Armed Forces of our nation, especially those to be found in troubled places in perilous times. Uphold, preserve, and protect each one with knowledge of Thy love and grace. Finally, may we too be found forever faithfull to You, to our country, to our shipmates, and to our best selves. I pray in the name of Jesus, Who taught us, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends"....and Who laid down His life for us all. Amen." |

The ship's namesake, Private First Class Oscar P. Austin, USMC, served as an assistant machine gunner with Company E, Second Battalion, Seventh Marines, First Marine Division (Rein), FMF. The ship's crest carries the motto "HONOR AND SACRIFICE", and is in keeping with the tradition of Pfc Oscar Austin's indomitable courage and selfless devotion to duty, when he gave his live to save a fellow Marine on the 23rd of February 1969.

Name: Conor O'Hare Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Toronto, Canada Time: 1998-10-19 16:22:15 Comments: I am now a practicing lawyer in Toronto. But during my university days in Boston I spent much time studying U.S. foreign policy and particularly, the Vietnam War. In graduate school it was my primary focus. During my time in the States I met several Vietnam vets including my best friends father. He retired from the Army as a Colonel. He served in WWII, Korea and 2 terms in Vietnam. He spent many hours telling me of his experiences. This past weekend, I went to a friend's wedding in Windsor. In the time since I graduated from law school there, they have erected a memorial to those Canadians who fought and died in Vietnam. I'm very interested to know more about the Canadians who fought there. Where in Canada are you from? What made you decide to go into the Marines out of High School? Where did you enlist? What did you do after your service? Were you wounded? If you have a chance, I'd love to commmunicate with you. Conor O'Hare |

It is a shame that he never had a real life in the world. While at LZ Baldy I had spent much of a day talking to a medivac pilot. Later that day they flew out on a medivac and were shot down and all on board were killed. His body was brought back to Baldy the follwing day and I remember looking at his body and thinking of the things we had talked about and what his wife was doing right then and that she wouldn't even know he was dead. I've felt bad since because I can't remember his name. He was a neat guy for an officer. Thanks again for having this place where we can look around and remember when we were young. Hope you dont mind an "airwinger" attaching himself to the 7th. I did get to fly as a gunner on H-46's out of marble mtn for a while. Maybe I got to help you'll out sometimes. Take care and Semper Fi. |

Michael W. Hicks, 2/7 "G" '66-'67 (also served a second tour, the details of which I cannot recall). A great man whom I respect deeply; a man of honor, integrity, and strength. A good friend and a great man of God. But what else from a Marine? He is new to the internet, amazed by its connecting power, and I told him about this site and he is excited about connecting up with his brothers-in-arms. I've installed a couple of computers at our church, and he'll be surfing here soon - until then, if you know him or want to contact him, email me at "rodgers@eznet.net" and I will pass it along (privately, if you wish) to him. This is an incredible site, very informative and moving, especially with the music. THANK YOU all for your service for me. - Bruce Rodgers, age 37. I live in freedom due to your service for America. |

I was shot in August of 1966 between Danang and Phu Bai while on Security Platoon. Serial number 2147724. Funny somethings you never forget --that number being one of the many. You know what I mean? My second tour I was with EOD at Danang Air Base. I lived like a King except when planes came back shot all to hell with ordnance hung on them, and we had to disarm them. Still all considered, was not bad. At least we did not loose any one on that tour. Well enough about that--anyway nice site and FYI one of my best friends was killed with D/1/7 his name was Robert Blackfox. Semper Fi Marine!!! |
