In 1967, I volunteered for a government sponsored all expenses paid vacation in beautiful South Viet Nam. I arrived
in country at Cam Rahn Bay and was sent to Di An. I
spent most of my time in Viet Nam in Di An. I was assigned to the 595th
Signal Company, 36th Signal Battalion, 2nd Signal Group, 1st Signal Brigade.
The 595th provided communications support to Headquarters Battalion, 1st
Infantry Division and others at Di An, and Special Forces groups in Lai
Thieu and Thu Duc. Most of these pictures are of Di An and the surrounding
area. Almost all of these pictures are scans of slides, some of which
were very dirty after more than 40 years. Each slide had a month,
year and number and they are arranged in that order with each month
on a separate page. I have provided some descriptions but after
all these years, the memory has faded and I may have some incorrect information.
If you spot an error, please email me so I can correct it.
<br>
<br>
Updated 12/15/2007 I have added current views of different locations. If you
hold your cursor over a picture, if there is a current view, the picture will change
to the current view. Double click on the picture and see the old and new side by side.
The Di An USO is an example.
<br>
<br>
Updated 1/19/2008 I have added new links on the bottom of several of the pages.
These links take you to youtube.com where I have uploaded several videos.
