These photos are from my personal collection that I took myself while in Viet Nam during '70-'71
They are not all of the best quality as they were recently transferred to prints from slides that had sat in the corner of the basement for years, and some of them didn't clean up as well as others, however, here they are.
This is where we more or less lived and worked for a year.
