Viet Nam 1970

[grampadirt]

Just thought you guys might like to see some of the pics I have of my time in 'Nam.At the time I was there it was for sure a third world nation....not sure what it's like now.The country is so flat the tides have and effect many miles from the ocean,the water is always moving quite fast hence the muddy water..soft,thick,gooey mud...stinks too.There were times when the sky was very blue and the water was calm...

 

here's a link to Photobucket if you'd like to check 'em out,I'll be adding pics occasionally

An old soldier saying. Little brown f-ing machine. I was thinking it was Viet Nam era, but could be circa Korea. I must be getting senile if I am losing track of derogatory acronyms. Slang slurs are the last thing to go usually. I better invest in a drool bucket.
