1969 Lai Khe

In country long enough to grow a mustache but not long enough for R&R. My wife made me shave it off during R&R in Hawaii.

1969 Lai Khe

We moved to a new location and were put in "buildings" with wooden floors and sides halfway up and screens the remainder of the way. The roof was tin.

1969

I don't remember their names (can anyone help?), but I believe these are the two pilots, Yellow One, who received the Silver Star for going into a hot LZ five or more times. They had a least three ships shot up, but would not let any of the other pilots go in. They just traded ships.
