Dad
was a Bn advisor for the 25th ARVN DIV. The photos he sent home were of
a smiling young officer. His pencil sketches were of My Loc children in
tattered clothes. His letters were hopeful. He wrote every day from that
war... about America's integrity, about starting a family, about his life.
Xoai Doi. Rach Kien. Can Duc. Combat ops and faces of war were documented
carefully in two photo albums. He saw lessons and beauty there all around
him. He didn't know he'd be passing them on to me, one day. Thanks Dad.
Adding new photos ALL the
time here...
Recognize anyone? Let me know.
The packages Dad is passing out are from my
mother's sixth graders. They are Tet gifts for the children of the My Loc
school. The guy sitting in the chair next to Dad is Maj Bui Van Vien,
his counterpart. Not sure about the other guys. I have two very detailed
photo albums and I am looking for the men whose faces appear in them. Please
help. I have yet to meet any of these men. Allebach, Max, Roy, Douglas,
Cpt Sousa, LT Sammons, Cpt Sands, Cpt Poole, Don Summerford, Cohill and
LTC Teany. Sound familiar?
