 I arrived in country may 00 0000. from cuchi I drove a jeep to anloc in support of my unit (0/0th arty). this was my first journey into the countryside. I waited around An Loc market area while the trucks unloaded. I remember it as a facinating little place/ My buddy Ken and I ate a meal at a roadside resturant and played on a pocketless billiard table which was covered up with tarps when the rains came. these were my first memories of the vn countryside and I only made a few trips to An Loc as our unit moved a lot.In 0000 I drove a wrecker accompanying arvn ammo convoys from long binh to An Loc- it was a much changed place!obviously the huge loss of life there in 0000 was terrible, the state of the area that made such an impression on me years before,was a sad. site to see. it seems that things are better there now.
