Panorama-DucPho.JPG3rd Brigade, 25th -LZ Montezuma, FSB Bronco234 viewsProbably the best all-inclusive aerial shot. Shows the airstrip, the easily spotted hill next to the base, and the blue South China Sea over the hill. The US Marines originally occupied Duc Pho and were re-assigned further north toward the DMZ. The 2/9th got the assignment in the Spring of 1967 to replace them. The 3rd Bde Commander re-named the base "FSB Bronco", replacing the Marine's choice. Troops were warned not to climb the hills due to booby traps and mines.

Dixon27.jpgAn offer I could refuse?232 viewsHere I am with my girlfriend (in T-strap heels, no less) at a Buddhist temple. Cute, huh? My driver (you could hire a 24/7 driver then- rather than get a taxi each time) for $15-$20 a week! And any time you left your hotel- day or night- he (or one of his close friends) was there waiting to drive you anywhere you wanted to go! After I was out one night with my girlfriend, my driver said–rather surprised–in his broken English, "Ohhh! Sirrr... she berrdy plettty... but she not barhhh gurl !? I sink she rike you too much, huh? Maybe you make-a wife...no?"

salesinvoice.jpgA Father's Promise230 viewsOne of our Commo guys said his dad promised him something. If he would just stay alive and make it home, his dad would buy him a new GTO. Sure enough, when he got home, there was a brand new red GTO waiting for him! THAT got my fires going. I learned through the PX guys that I could order new cars at a military discount! I ordered a new Pontiac GTO convertible. Here is the first of several (modified) orders I made. And check that price! NOTE that the form states it is ordered from Viet Nam, and gives an "APO" address.
