  1. Hello. I am also an oldnamvet. The anniversary of Tet '68 is upon us. I was looking for a picture of the bomb dump explosion and found your blog. Looking at your posts has inspired me to create a blog for the purpose of sharing experiences on the web. I really enjoyed your Chu Lai pictures. I was attached to VMA-121 (Mag-12) and was on the flight line the night of the attack. I saw the explosion up close; really close! Can you tell me the location from where the explosion picture was taken? I'd like to talk about Chu Lai '67/'68, share recollections, etc. Thanks, Rob Walker.

  2. Hello, I was there in Nha Trang the night of the attack. I was with the 63rd truck company and we were there from September thru April before the company was set to Cam Ranh Bay. I woke up as the explosions starting going off and remember that we did not have any ammo, it was stored in a storage container and had to stand in line that night to get issues a few clips. Thanks for posting these photos.
