Overview

After arriving in Vietnam, as very young soldiers we decided to make the most of this life and death situation. Engaging the enemy almost on a daily basis, there were still some normal times. These pictures depict mostly these normal times . The liberal media at the time of the Vietnam War would have everyone believe that we were nothing more than blood thirsty thugs, baby killers, rapists and murderers. This could not be further from the truth as these pictures will try to show. I served in 3rd platoon, Charlie Company, 6th of the 31st, 9th Infantry Division from October 1968 through August 1969... The Pictures selected are forty-four years old. These are the ones that survived many moves and even a house fire! I have restored them the best I could. They are the best quality possible. 152 Pictures
