This Vietnam war website was originally constructed to display pictures of my tour of duty in Vinh Long, Vietnam but has taken on a new life and shows pictures from other sources.  I was a  member of the 28th Avionics Signal Detachment in 1966-67.  We, the 28th/96th Signal Detachment, were part of the 13th Aviation Battalion, 1st Aviation Brigade.  Both Signal Detachments worked out of the same repair shop next to the aircraft maintenance hangar.  We supported the avionics needs of the 175th Outlaws (formerly 502nd) and 114th Knights  Air Mobile Assault Helicopter Companies at the Vinh Long Army Airfield Installation and in the field in and around the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

Thanks, David Eastman: Aviator, Outlaw 23,24 and others for adding great comments to the pictures--It brought them to life, and your book put pieces together. Now I know  Tay Ninh Mountain (Nui Ba Dinh) or Black Virgin Mountain.  Also, I loved the chapters on Tay Ninh.  I always had the memories, but fading.  Your book brought them back as reality. Its USA-Vinh Long, Vietnam history (1966-67) and you recorded it. (purchase Dave's book)   His book tells stories about Vietnam IV Corps and the  "Outlaws in Vietnam".

The website is always changing and, hopefully, You will have many more pictures to view as time goes on. I have about 500 pictures of Vietnam to choose from, and need to convert slides to digital format, so it takes some effort.  I found a good Canon scanner, but It only does 4 slides at a time. Most of the pictures are high quality and if you double click on the picture in will expand.

Don't remember a lot of these people and places, so if anyone would like to contribute information please email me, leave a message in the guest book, or comment on the picture  or reply in the blog.  Also, some of the information may be incorrect.  Let me know.  After all, it's been a long time. 

The web site is still  growing . It's becoming a deposit of hundrads of picture, mostly of the he Mekong Delta River area.  Some people have asked if they can share their pictures. The answer is yes. Please email me with any questions you may have. --Thanks Ray
