Think this tower went down
in Lai Khai. And, that I have climbed up it prior to its
destruction |

Off hand, I can't remember for
sure which city this is. Thinking it was An Loc. BUT, might
have been Quan Loi. Think the trees are all rubber trees but might
be wrong As a troop we would travel from city to city (Soc Trang, An Loc, Quan Loi, Lai Khai, and work with the Vietnamese Army and perform our missions. We would stay for anywhere from 45 days to 6 months A Troop 3rd of the 17th Air Cavalry, U.S. Army |
My room was in the further
(about in the middle of the picture) on this road on the right.
Across from the TOC and First Sergeants office. I had a trap door
under my bed so my girl friends could come and visit and not be seen
entering or exiting. They would then exit the side door of the
building A Troop 3rd of the 17th Air Cavalry, U.S. Army |

My (Dan's) room, our troop
was stationed either in the city of Anloc. The door to my room was
opposite of the First Sergeant's office. Thus, I had a trap door
under my bed where my female visitors could come and go unseen |
This is under my bed where
the trap door was. Also, this was my dog, named Lizzy, named after
an ex-Vietnamese girlfriend. I had my dog for over a year and had
to leave her there |
Lizzy's pups on my bed with a visiting friend in the picture | Think this might have been an air traffic control tower in Lai Khai | ||

I was a Sergeant in charge
of the Tactical Operations Center (TOC). Pictured above is Robert Steck, a drafted college professor who was not happy being there and
working for an 18 year old! But we were friends and had a
good time! |

I am the guy in about the
right center looking up. About the 6th head from the left with
shirt. We
were watching a strip show in either An Loc or Quan Loi I found this on the internet about 10 years ago. Had no idea where it came from or who took it and was quite surprised to see something like that turn up |
