Phu Bai Sep/Oct '28. Several hundred of the
millions of plastic sand bags that were ultimately used in Vietnam. Both
Marines and local Vietnamese filled them. I believe we paid the Vietnamese
a few cents for each bag they filled.

a temple in the trees behind the jeep.

We carried the Gold Diggers and The Hone LTD. I gave out our trip cards but also used a few to get a few autographs. It sure was a great Christmas. Bring around all those beautiful women was something to build up your spirits to say the least. Photo by, Cpl. Ronald L. Dion |
