Dixon16.jpgWork Crew227 viewsMy work crew. We completed a new perimeter bunker at Duc Pho... a WELCOME improvement and 100% safer than what we had in the early days! Taken with a Polaroid on a self-timer. Not bad, huh? The boy next to me was one of two kids (a boy and a girl) I adopted from a local orphanage. We had a program where we could adopt orphaned kids and contribute something to their care each month. There were four Vietnamese helping us build this big bunker and they are all in this photo. The guy just over my shoulder to the left side of the photo was Roman (not sure if the same Roman listed on your site). The fellow behind me and in between the two Vietnamese was from Philadelphia... and I must say I cannot remember his name because we always called him "Philly" anyway! The other two GIs on the left are UNK (names forgotten).

Dixon21.jpgCommo Dudes: Ready for anything227 viewsThe Duc Pho hill was off to the far right- out of the photo. These HQ battery commo fellows were PFC Hogan (left) and Sgt. Trainor. They were purposely looking tough here. We managed to somehow acquire a large stash of unusual "unauthorized" firearms (I had a bunch of them) and the PFC is holding what we fondly referred to as a "grease gun". The sarge was out of Texas as I recall.
