 Thank you for posting your request on History Hub! 
 
 The semi-annual rosters (i.e., April and October) for 1960-74 for Army units are attached to the morning reports of the respective units. All rosters for the period are not available and usually list only enlisted personnel. Paper copies may be obtained from microfilm by writing to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. Research and reproduction fees are charged for this service. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 to request this information. The rosters will provide names of soldiers serving in A Company, 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry Regiment during the Battle of Dai Dong (December 1967). 
 
 The National Archives does not have the present addresses (or current mailing addresses) of former service personnel or their survivors on file. Please review Locating Veterans and Service Members , Locate Military Members, Units, and Facilities and Finding Living People in the United States for information and/or resources to assist you with locating the person you seek. 
 
 The Federal agency most likely to have such addresses is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA can forward a message from you to the veteran, providing the veteran has filed a claim with VA, and they have an address on record. To forward a message, please write your message and place it in an unsealed, stamped envelope. Also include a note to the VA explaining who it is you are trying to reach and add as much identifying information as you have. Place all of this in another envelope addressed to the nearest Veterans Affairs Regional Office (you can find the address at https://www.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp ). If the veteran is in their records, your message to the veteran will be sealed and the envelope addressed to the address they have on file for the veteran. Please note that the veteran may not have informed the VA of a change of address, so they cannot guarantee receipt of your message. If the veteran receives your note, it is then up to the veteran to contact you. 
 
 We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research! 
 
 Sincerely,
