    Great to see the pics of members here - thank you!

    Here is an interesting travel album - some rusty C&R's, but the morter turn signal is the best.

      Yea but a long line to get in. Its a pain when the workers take a 2 hour break and you have to come back.

      I got locked in a museum in Dien Bien Phu because they decided to have lunch.

              I got there the first time in 1965, then 69, 70 & 71.
              Now that its open to us to visit I'd have to give it a lot of thought about taking a tour there. I kind of wished they would open Cuba for us, like to try a real Cohiba cigar..

              Or Score some of those old cars they been hording there all these years in Cuba!

              Buddy of mine did 3 tours on PBRs out of Vung Tao.

              Thanks you ALL that served.

              I flunked the Induction Physical at the Oakland Induction Center in March 1969. So I couldn't get into the service.

                            If you don't have a scanner - use your cellphone, turn off the flash and light the picture well (desk lamp) look out for glare or casting your own shadow, hold the phone close and as still as poss and you're set.
