1968-69 ....
A civilian volunteer in Vietnam: Dian, Saigon, Binh Hoa, Tay Ninh, Long Binh, II Field Force Headquarters .....
Though this was my usual travel attire (I also carried a sawed-off M-1 in my purse), civilians were NOT allowed to carry weapons ....
Civilians carried two "Non-Combatant" ID cards. If captured by the Viet Cong, we were supposed to give them one and we brought the other back .... Someone forgot to tell these rules to the Viet Cong, however.
As time allows, I will be adding a photo journal of my experiences and reflections on my work in Vietnam.
Included with my personal collection, I will be adding segments of a project that several co-workers and I started circa 1998-2001 (but regretfully, never completed). To my knowledge, a history of the Special Services program has never been compiled. This was to have been our effort ..... I have no way to contact the few (especially Cathy, Dee, Deborah) who worked diligently on this project --- but now, as I attempt to include it, consider it a testament to the efforts of the hundreds who have served .....
