Orphanage.jpg"Boys & Girls Home" at Duc Pho297 viewsIn smaller print: DAI-UY RONALD ROD.
This orphanage was dedicated to Capt Ronald Rod who served as an "Advisor" prior to open hostilities. Capt Rod was previously an ROTC instructor at Loyola University in New Orleans.

Capt Rod was one of my ROTC Instructors. He left for Vietnam while I was still a student at the University.
