Subject: Searching For Vietnam Veteran Father

Hi, my name is Shane Roberson and I am searching for my biological Vietnam Veteran Father and or any family members of his. My father does not know that I exist. My father was stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington in 1968 into 1969 before he was deployed to Vietnam. We have very little information about him but the information we do have is as follows: His first name was James (Jim) with last name being pronounced Minick or Munich we believe. We were told that he was an officer (2nd Lieutenant) and for part of the time he was stationed at Ft. Lewis he lived or stayed off base in two different apartments that we know of. The first one we know of was off of South Tacoma Way and 90th street. The second apartment we were told was in Lakewood. My mother used to work at the PX on Ft. Lewis fitting soldiers for military uniforms and selling military emblems and brass. My mother’s roommate at the time was Chris Newcom who was a German resident here in the United States working for the PX. My mother and her roommate had lived in a brick apartment off of Pacific Avenue. My father is believed to have been born in 1945, 1946 or 1947 we were told. My mother was told by my father that his parents did not speak English. It is believed that his family was of German decent. My father had been told by my mother that she was pregnant, and a brief meeting was held between my mother, her step father, my father and the military on Ft. Lewis. At the meeting they decided not to do any financial support other than the cost of my birth. Prior to him leaving for Vietnam half the cost of a birth was paid to my mother and the remainder of the cost of the birth had been sent to her from someone he knew stateside after his departure to Vietnam. My mother and father had no further personal contact after his deployment to Vietnam. My mother’s name at the time she knew my father and worked at the PX was Patricia A. Roberson. Please take the time to like and share my story, I would very much like to find my father, any and all siblings and any relatives I have. Dad, you have 4 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren! Looking forward to the day I get to hopefully meet you.
