Semper Fi - 1775 |
Picture heavy, but WELL worth the time. The amount of material left behind is staggering. There are some "dark" photos with background behind aircraft losses, but they are all fascinating. http://www.laosgpsmap.com/ho-chi-minh-trail-laos/ ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

That was interesting,some things stuck out was the poverty in most picks. The amount of ordnance that did not explode is another. | |||

A major fucking waste. A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | |||

Thanks for posting, the two Dog Tags were from 2 different Marines. I wonder their fate. | |||

I wondered too, and ran their SN on the Wall database and didn't come up with anything. Here's to hoping they made it home. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

Those are great photos. I traveled to Saigon a while back on a whim, and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. | |||

Going back to Viet-Nam and Laos is not on my things to do list. I regret that I was there and regret more so the people we lost and the lives that were changed forever. If you were part of the boots on the ground your perspective is different. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Fascinating very interesting pictures and to see the amount of 50 year old war machines, bombs, sams littering the area, incredible. | |||

Thanks for posting the link. I was there with the 101st Airborne, C Company 4/77th ARA (Aerial Rocket Artillery) I Corps. Flew a lot of missions in the Cobra along the border with Laos and the HCMT. Don't feel the need to go back as a tourist. ****************************************************W5SCM "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" - Abraham Lincoln "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - Abraham Lincoln | |||
