FO_on_Duty_-_Hwy_19.JPGHighway 19 - Guarding the road with A-2-3579 viewsPhoto taken in January, 1967. Remember it well. Wasn't long after this photo was taken, the VC started lobbing mortars at our perimeter. The rounds were landing between A-2-35 and a nearby village. They knew it would be difficult for us to return the fire. But we did. An Infantry mortar hit a rotted tree trunk, setting it on fire. That gave us the target zone and we returned fire. No casualties, but we found plenty of blood near the impact zone.
But, let's go back to the beginning.

Crossing_the_street.jpgVietnam: 2012 visit78 viewsCrossing the street: This is the correct way to cross the street in Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City). Look straight ahead and keep moving. Don't stop or make any sudden movements, and all those vehicles WILL miss you. It takes a little time to get used to it, and a lot of faith, but it works. I think the Vietnamese have only one traffic rule: Try not to run over the tourists.
