Would particularly like to meet Jannie Kruger from Natal who also was with me at the same time. Experienced implementation of Resolution 435 and the arrival of the UNTAG forces in April 1989. A fascinating experience. |

Although it was an awesome experience, God I hope that we never forget these experiences and that our children never have to go through what we went through especially once we were married and had families that we had to leave behind every time we did a camp. Please keep this site running its so good to revisit it once in a while. |

Thanks for not letting the world forget what so many were never even aware of. My older brother Sean also served in the Marines 1981-1982 and saw action in SWA and Angola. To this day there are things about this war he wishes he could forget. Thanks again! |

I can hardly believe that you took part in OPS PROTEA. Your force number is 84456995, but OPS PROTEA started on 23 August 1981 and ended on the 4 September 1981. I should know, because I did my time with SAW en Seuns from Jan 81 to Dec 82 |

Date: Thu 30/4/09 4:10AM From: Francois Buys Email: febuys@gmail.com Message: 775098910 BT - School of Engineers Kroonstad, 1980, Sector 10, Okolongo, Ovamboland (Nov 1980 - Dec 1981) I remember with pride Operation Daisy, then Operation Protea and especially the battle at Xangongo and the blasting of the bridge that was so critical at the time. Who can ever forget the spectacular explosion when we blew up the fuel depot in Ongiva? I am 47 and my blood still goes cold thinking back at what we did under the pretension of fighting for "Volk en Vaderland", and heroes we are, everyone that served, until infinity! I salute those who didn't make it, friends and buddies, we will meet again! |
