My web site is mostly from life around Lucile, Idaho and my time in the Army while in Vietnam. Also, cars and other things I find of interest.
We are moning to Green Valley, AZ and I will be adding more from there.

Some photos of my time in Vietnam 1970 - 1971
On the base at Phu Bai - a relatively easy first 5 months.
Gun truck escorting a convoy to Vandergrift FSB. A lot of the convoys were run at night.

In addition to the Cobras in the air , these heavily armored gun trucks ran escort for our convoys out to the fire bases. Many took heavy fire in ambushes and saved many lives (and they lost some of their own). The Protector was hit in a major ambush on 2/8/1971 and the driver Charles Howard Soule was killed. Fortunately I was not in that convoy.
