Photo #13 (Nha Trang): This is a shot of me in my cube in the new barracks. I often thought about sending this photo to Hills Bros Coffee for an ad but never did.

Photo #15 (Nha Trang):
This is part of the Army Aviation Area. I was able to go up in the gunships as door gunner on  three occasions. This was on my day off of course. I remember on one occasion, the army guy that was on the other door, locked his M60 in the downward position and the barrel dropped into the South China Sea. He had forgot to lock the barrel in. We also got to go up in the C-123 and was able to see a number of the outposts.

Photo #18 (Nha Trang):

Downtown Nha Trang in 1966. The vehicle parked in front of the building kind of dates me. I always wondered how many miles those cyclo drivers had to pedal to get the muscle structure in their legs. Most of the older drivers looked as if their legs were composed of steel cords.

Photo #19 (Nha Trang):

I believe the AP pictured in front of this bunker was named Tracy (last name). I still remember his face but not his name.

Photo #21 (Nha Trang):

An obviously posed photo of me. Notice that I am carrying a Thompson, which is .45 cal and have linked 7.62 ammo wrapped around me. I don't think the combination would work.

Photo #22 (Nha Trang):

A river scene just outside Nha Trang. I always wished this photo had been in color. Parts of Vietnam were beautiful and should have been on travel posters and not in war photos.

They had a great snack bar.
