Our five hour drive took us through areas and cities that are seared in my memory from the Viet Nam war. I was discharged from the US Navy in Aug '65 and did not serve in Viet Nam. But I did support the war effort and remember places we visited since I watched the news about the war religiously every night on the television and read in the newspaper. It is a strange experience to finally visit these locations and see the real places.
Pictures --- a US military bunker on a mountain side which controls the main road over the mountain that separated the opposing forces....a picture of a suspension bridge which crosses a river near DaNang, China Beach surf (a major R&R location for US troops...and finally me relaxing on a beach chair on China Beach.
