    ADV Team 86 & 99 2nd Bn 46th ARVN
                            1966-67 Long An Province 
    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?
