Does anyone remember this little momento for the 9th Inf. Div.? I guess this makes me official......
Miguel Ascar playing with a small puppy we rescued from a PF outpost (you'll see a few pics of it later) after we saw this guy's brother end up in the stew pot. We named the dog "Chicken Man". I have no idea why. I guess it just fit.....
Charlie Jones and John Adame with John's "short-timers" calendar. As you can see, John drew a bikini on this sweetie, numbered in blocks, 1 to 100 to represent days left in-country, and by the time she was dressed, it's time to go home!
John fooling around with Lee, our laundry girl. Carillo shaving in the background. Good personal hygene!
Sgt. Benavides and Sgt. Soto
Beer, Beer, Beer. Hey, what else do you do on your time off? I think that's Jack Bussard, Miguel Ascar and I'm not sure of the rest of the guys in this picture. Miguel's living in California.
Jack Bussard and Eddie Cox in Dong Tam. I have no idea why they are dressed like this. Heading into town, I guess....hehehe...
This would be Jack Bussard on the left, Bob Stumph in the middle and Mike Davey on the right. My M-16 on the wall. Special thanx to Mike Davey for responding to me to correct the spelling of his name......after 30 years! Hello brother, and Welcome Home!!!!!
Hi guys, what's happening? Jack Bussard and Bob Stumph
John Carrillo, John Adame and Miguel Ascar holding court.
Hi Charlie Jones, where ever are you going with that awful rifle on your shoulder?
I think these two guys are Mr.'s Henderson and Brannon, however I don't know who's who!
Look, I shined my boots and got this cool beret. Do I look tough?
This is Sgt. Richard Hunford. One of the finest men ever to wear the uniform! Period! Rich now lives in Washington state.
Here's a pic of our Tiger Scout, Nguyen Van Phouc (better know as New-Yan Van Fuck-up) fooling around with Rich Hunford.
John Adame fixing his uniform, getting ready to go home. I still had a lifetime left in RVN!
Me and Robert Stumph. Bob's got the "civvies" on too. Where the hell do these people think they're going? Hey Bob, that's the same shirt Cox had on! Who owns that thing? Bobby's living in New York.
Here's a shot of the boys milling about outside the barracks in Dong Tam. We're dong what we do best.....being confused!
Do you remember the snack wagon in Dong Tam? I think we referred to it as "the garbage scow", or something close to that.
