Our MACV and CICV Groups facilitate communication among the special band of brothers — yes, and sisters, too — formerly from the ranks of the U.S. Armed Forces who worked at, with, or near MACV and CICV at any time during the Vietnam conflict. Through their steadfast brotherhood, many of us have kept in touch through several decades past. Please join us, contribute to the camaraderie, tell us YOUR stories, help find old friends, post and enjoy photos, and we'll all help one another to fill the gaps in our ever-aging memories.  We do have a lot of fun in the groups, so come join us. Thank you.
