3rd APS
|
|
I finally got about 150 pictures, with explanations, scanned and sort of made into an album. I was stationed at Biên Hòa in 1966-1967 and was with the 3rd Air Police Sq. All of these Piks deal with the posts and guys I served with. I have most of the guys named but there are still a lot that I just can't remember. "My Story", it deals with actions prior to 5/12/67, actions & Pixs during the attack of 5/12/67, and finally actions I was involved in after that date. No one has mentioned the "Tiger Units" that protected the base after the attack. The 173rd Airborne left the base unprotected so we were formed into 10 five man units situated 2 to 3 hundred yards outside the 3rd fence and in the free fire zone. Sebastian Coco |

10) The Silver Shield Lounge, built
by the AP Squadron. Later, was forced to be made into the Base Airman's
Club. This really bothered a lot of the guys, me included. We built
it for our Air Police use, and it was taken away--something about
breaking some rules.
