Hi all, my name is Colleen Dingler, the grandaughter of Lt. Col. Chuck House. He was in Vietnam and he was with Hmm-163. I was lucky to be searching the web, and came across this web site and became a member. You may have seen Norm's letter back to me responding to my post to all of you. Any info will be helpful about him. I have read the links regarding Ashau, etc. My mother still has his Navy Cross which is on his Green Beret.
He passed away in 1986, so I was only able to get some of the stories from him and my mother. If you knew him or any info you can pass onto me, it would be great! Please email me at:
XLiniann@aol.com or respond here. If you have pictures, I would love to see them!!!!!! Thanks for your help, Colleen

The Leatherneck Aviation Museum at MCAS Mirimar would like to put Chuck House's Green Beret and Navy Cross on display. Would your mother be willing?
