RW-3.JPGThe Mighty Ninth goes by sea99 viewsThe next three photos show the 2/9th loaded on an LST. I believe the sea move was made from Qui Nhon to Duc Pho. I somewhat remember going by convoy in January, 1967 from Pleiku to Qui Nhon. Then the division split. Some continued by convoy and some sea to Duc Pho.

RW-6.JPGThe Mighty Ninth goes by sea99 viewsAlternate Thoughts: Some components of the 2/9th may have moved from LZ Uplift to Bronco Beach via LST while others went to Duc Pho via convoy. Qui Nhon is mostly landlocked. The men pictured are walking the deck of the LST.
