Photos of Binh Thuy, Can Tho and Cam Ranh Bay, South Vietnam -- and some links.
That's me near the Can Tho USO (1969).
** Was assigned to the USAF Operation Safeside Combat Security Police unit at Binh Thuy at the time. **
Sampans near Binh Thuy (1969)
Kids near Binh Thuy/Can Tho... Binh Thuy is less than 10 miles from Can Tho in the Mekong River Delta of South Vietnam (1969).
Photo of Binh Thuy Air Base flightline (1969). The smaller aircraft, between the bunkers, were used by the VNAF (Vietnamese Air Force).

Click the above map and another window will open with a very large map of Vietnam and SE Asia.
On this particular night in Cam Ranh Bay (1970), an evening rain arrives with the darkness of yet another night.
The photo of me above (1970) is at the check point at a village called My Ca. A Monastery is also located there. It is actually very near the perimeter of Cam Ranh Bay Air Base, not too far from the Naval Air Facility.
The USAF has since changed the name of the USAF Security Police to the USAF Security Forces.

Freedom is never free! Never forget 9/11/2001... Even after all these years, it is the terrorists and all their supporters against the entire free world. That is a fact. God Bless America!
