Sugarmillers is a group of American Vietnam Veterans who served honorably in combat with Military Assistance Command- Vietnam as Advisors to the local RF/PF Forces of South Vietnam.  Their duties involved training the Vietnamese Regional and Popular Forces as well as conducting combat operations with them.  These RF/PF Forces were very similar to our own National Guard and Reserve Forces.  Their equipment was not the very best and living conditions were harsh to say the least.  These American Advisors were nearly all volunteers who honored their country's call to duty.  The main center of operations for District Team 43 whose members initially organized the Sugarmillers was around an old French sugar mill, hence, the name "Sugarmillers".  After returning home these men had many years of little or no contact with one another until a reunion was held in Spring Hill, FL in 1998 at the home of Ray & Michelle Wing.
