I was listening to a story about Duc Pho and came upon your site. Looking through it I was reading a bunch and looking at your pictures. Whatever happened to the artist John Burger? Thx for your site.

I arrived there in Nov 1967 replacing a Lt in D Co 4th Med...most of troops had been with 25th Div until 3rd Bdes of 25 and 4th were switched. Flew into airport many times as well as helio pad (very near a cemetery!) where we lived and did DustOffs. Back towards the Mountain was a building "Big House" was painted on a rock. Said built by Seabees? Know of this? We had an old tunnel near our shower point at base of the western side of mt. Some unit had a huge search light "Big Eye" which could scan bunkers west of the wire towards village. We moved north for Tet 68 in late Jan 68 and Americal Div came ashore to great fanfare...first vehicle across your bridge was blown up and a Sgt killed. We had gone over to the beach twice to dump trash and salvage (buried in beach, probably still there). Have not been back, wife doesn't fly and I saw a lot of RVN in my 12 months moving 7 times. usually replacing a 1st Cav medical clearing company. Welcome Home. I'm in Richmond, VA
I was in D Co, 4th Med supported by 2-3 Dustoff choppers from 498Th out of Quin Nhon or South of Duc Pho. The search light was on top of mt. One day, we received a guy who was blown up...some LTC flew over the dirt roadway that went up the mt and saw "paper trash" littering the road side..this poor troop stepped off the dirt and hit an old French-era mine and blew him pretty much away. Bde Commander said "Leave any trash where it sits if not in the roadway and even then don't pick it up". Our unit was part of the 25th Div in 1967 and sometime in the Summer switched to 4th Div. Most guys in base camp wore right shoulder sleeve 25th Tropic Lightning...left was 4th IVY patch...then no one wore unit patch or rank, few had nametags in white = good way to get shot.
I gave Texas Tech's Vietnam Center several hundred slides I took in my time there. Lots on file from RVN at Duc Pho. I think they have digitized them as William E Kirkland or TET 68 Reunion stuff. Check it out.
