View Full Version : Is she just like this...
For those of you who had the honor of meeting her I ask. What was she like? Was she just like this in the video?

I ask this because my memory of her on television is a little blurred:munchin
I definately remember this one though and never would of thought that he was prophetic.

That was NOTHING compared to what she was like in person!!!!
I first met her in Nha Trang, in the NCO Club during a USO Floor Show. ................Long story.
I saw her, at a Theater In The Round performance in Houston (mid 1970s), and I sent a few pics that I had of her,from RVN, backstage. She sent the waitress out to me, and she was a great deal flustered when she told my parents, my wife and myself "Tell him to get his FUCKING ASS BACK HERE NOW!!!:D We went backstage and she hung a MASSIVE Liplock on me and then she allowed me to introduce the family. During the show, she made a point to acknowlege me on several occasions, it was quite embarrassing, but THAT WAS MAGGIE!! I saw her for many years at SOAR and she always remembered the first time we met. She was a VERY close friend of Our Community.
Later.

I have some pictures with her from 1971 when she was visiting Ft Bragg that I should dig up. Like 'bush said, she was way more rowdy in person. Loud, swore like a sailor and as Bob Hope said when she was younger, had the best legs in Hollywood. I only saw her a couple of times but rarely saw her out of the burst radius of a bottle of vodka...

Saw Maggie in December 1968. Lost of jokes and she did enjoy a drink....she really did have a warm spot in her heart for SF.

I met her on a tour in Panama. Early 70's I think. She was roudy and could drink any 3 of us under the table. She was very funny lady. She loved SF and everyone in SF who knew her loved her to.

Forgot to answer the question..Yes she was just like that.

I was there also. It was 5th Group Activation Day. I saw her lay a big lip lock on the Group Commander (COL Durst). She had a canteen on each hip which I was told later contained scotch and vodka. I was there mainly as a clean up detail so did not get much of a chance to get pictures or observe her to any extent.

Beautiful lady!
The first time I saw Martha was after a large op, lV Corps (Delta) 1966, we had a ton of wounded, our dispensary was swamped, there was blood everywhere, and I was carrying a wounded crewmember in for Triage.
I saw a female wearing jungle fatigues on the floor cleaning up the blood and guts with a sponge, she didn't look Vietnamese, but she was so covered in blood that I couldn't place her. That evening Martha showed up at the SF club, and proceeded to drink a bunch of the guys under the table. I spoke with her and thanked her for her efforts that day, she blew it off, she was happy to be able to help.
I loved that Lady!
And she was like that!
I met Maggie in Jan '72 at Reynolds Army Hospital, Ft Sill, OK. She was there visiting for something or other and found out there were 6 SF guys in the hospital. She told her escorts to F*** Off and came looking for all of us. I was in the dental clinic when she intoduced herself to me, gave me a handshake and a kiss, told me she loved all of us Sweet MFers, and left after a couple of minutes of chit-chat and well wishes. The legs at the hospital didn't know what to think and I'll never forget her. She had an amazing presence. :)

I have heard that while visiting remote A-Camps, she went out under fire to treat the wounded and drug them to cover, both US and Indig, during assaults on the compounds!!! I also heard at SOAR, from someone in her presence, that they remembered seeing her crawl out to an MG Position under fire, manned it, and engaged the enemy!!!
She was a Major in the AR and was a Nurse!!
Incredible Lady!! It was always a delight to sit around a table at SOAR and just listen to her and "Frenchy" chat, NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!!
Take care.
