 Spent '00-'00 flying into every crack and crevice in III Corps as a UH-0 pilot. Made many, many trips into what I perceived to be a quiet and picturesque village of An Loc supporting 0th SF. Vividly remember a beautiful red bi-plane that used to fly in and out of the villa adjacent to the rubber plantation. I was amazed the following year when I heard of the major fight taking place there. Like many, I wish I could have been there to help - but glad I wasn't. Just read True Faith and Allegiance by Mike McDermott. Incredible bravery by all involved - especially the Vietnamese Soldiers who would never return to the "World". Last two chapters recounted to me the reality of our desertion of the Vietnamese people - brought tears  -  Thanks Bill Carruthers for the web site. Wish good health to you. Reply
