I am sending in Stars & Stripes (Air Edition) from 2JUL65 (the day after the sapper attack)
which I cut out and kept, describing the attack on Da Nang.
It states in the opening that one Air Policeman, standing
guard near the south end of the field, was killed when the
suicide squad sprayed his post with small arms fire. I was surprised
at how yellow the headline article came out. Guess
something 43 years old is going to show it's age. Not like you and I!
Also
have some pictures from the Bangkok Post of the damaged and
destroyed aircraft. Since these
are old newspaper articles and obviously in delicate condition,
I will send a copy. I don't have a scanner and am new to the computer. Also,
have not gotten to my slides out yet as job search is "Number
One" at the present time. By the way, my best buddies are
Marines and am looking forward to possibly becoming an associate
member of their local shooting team.
My Club Cards I had laminated last year as they
were getting pretty frayed. I was surprised
at how yellow the headline article came out since I asked
to have it done in color because of the Stars and Stripes on the front. Guess something 32 years old is going to show
it's age. Not like you and I! Have no aerial pictures of the
Air Base, just some of the coast and villages we flew over
during takeoff. Was on the site this afternoon
enjoying the pictures since they were so familiar. You really
have done a great job on the Web Site! Wife and I were at fellow Viet Vet's
home this evening for a swim and that sort of did us in.
