The American presence in Vietnam was technically not an occupation, American troops were sent to aid South Vietnam and France but didn't directly control the territory. This is also the case for the other wars that the USA has sent troops to over the years.

Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Italy, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, ....... and more. This is a fairly short list. Here's my list

Depending on the definitions, you will get different lists but even with your more narrow definition you are missing quite a few.

Technically not the USA, Liberia was colonized by African American colonists who did not claim to represent the USA.
