SHIP'S DECK LOGS FOR PURPOSES OF VA CLAIMS

For purposes of establishing one's presence within the land boundaries of Vietnam, any of the ship's Deck Logs shown below will verify the ship was inside the land boundaries of Vietnam. 
Any enlisted person trying to establish their presence within the land boundaries of Vietnam can copy any one of these Deck Logs with a date that coincides with the minimum dates of service aboard the USS Litchfield County (LST-901) as detailed on the
BUPERS REPORT 1080-14:  ENLISTED DISTRIBUTION AND VERIFICATION REPORT.

===========================================================================
Please note that some months have no copies for various reasons.  As an example, while the ship was engaged in Market Time Area Operations during September, 1967, there are no log entries that place the ship inside the land boundaries of Vietnam since the ship steamed off shore during these operations.
===========================================================================
A more comprehensive display of Deck Logs can be seen on the
 COMPREHENSIVE DECK LOG PAGE.
The
COMPREHENSIVE DECK LOG PAGE has copies of all Deck Logs in our possession and include most all days we were in, or offshore of, Vietnam.  This page does not have Deck Logs from times not spent in the combat zone.
