I have included many pictures of my service in Vietnam. I have done this for three reasons. One is for your viewing pleasure and the second is in hopes that some of the men I served with will recognize our unit, me, themselves, etc. and get in contact with me. I would welcome a response from anyone who served in the 191st. Ordnance Batallion during the time mentioned. If you recognize anyone in these pictures or have any information on this person, please email Chuck. Lastly my intentions for the following pages are to hopefully bring back some good memories for those of us who were there of the wonderful men and women we served with. Unfortunately... I realize they will also bring back some memories that we have all tried hard to forget over the span of many years. For that I am sorry. I think most will enjoy the pics. At this time there are 13 pages. I just got a 'slide' scanner so there will be many more coming as time permits.

It
took some downright scavaging but
we did find a tree to decorate for the orphans who were coming for a Christmas dinner and party. |
| This
is NOT the way it was every day.
This was a set-up for Christmas dinner for the company and the orphans. |

A
bit dark but this is our flag outside of

girls that took care of the cleaning of our hooches and our clothes. The one on the left was our girl Mai. |

time. They were a lot of fun. |

What
pray tell is this you ask? This is a box
of steaks. Each month we chipped in beer rations and traded with a chef at the officers quarters for a box. We would then let them soak in beer all day, then cook them at the end of a hard day. |
