Jul 18th, More Vietnamese People

Today, I am posting the remaining photos (approximately 60) that I took of Vietnamese people in various locations outside the Da Nang Air Base.

Hope you enjoy them!

I do have full-sized originals of all of the photos that I've posted, to date. So, if you are interested in receiving any or all of those, please just let me know with a comment or an email. I'll be sure to get them to you!

Jul 16th, More USAF Personnel Photos

This week I am posting more of the photos I took of the Air Force guys I either worked with or was acquainted with.

I have identified them entirely based on memory. So, age being what it is, I strongly suspect that I probably mis-remembered a few of their names. In those cases, I would truly appreciate any help that you can provide!!  Thanks!
