Biên Hòa AB, 1971-1972

Please don't ask how I ended up stumbling on this site, when I was looking for Lackland info, but... I served in the SP detachment at Biên Hòa from 1971 until it closed in 1972. Noticed you didn't have anything much from that time period. I've pictures and such I might be able to digitize and send if you're interested. Here are some pictures from Biên Hòa during the 1971-1972 tour of duty I had with the Security Police detachment there. Kerry Tolan
