101st Airborne Vietnam

Via Tuan Hoang

 
Paratroopers of the 101st Division. Parachute Division stands guard to rescue a Southern Vietnamese prisoner from a prison camp in a communist jungle near Phan Thiet, about 90 miles northeast of Saigon, November 2, 1967. Two Viet Cong guerrillas (MTDTGPMNVN) opened fire on a patrol of the 101st Division, leading to the discovery of a prison camp where parachute soldiers rescued 51 prisoners, many of whom were dead and suffering from malaria.

    2. Good to hear you received your product. The tunnels must
      have U-bends now to bypass the communist take-over.
