Embassy of the United States of America. The wall remains, much the same but the building is gone.

These are warehouse forklifts. We had to drive them from Saigon to Long Binh. Almost 20 miles at 5 miles an hour. These were not our favorite deliveries. One benefit was that they would overheat and we could stop at almost all the villages along the way to let them cool down. The MP's could not tell us to move along however after a while they caught on and hung around to make sure we did not wander into the village.
Miss Hue
This is not the younger Miss Hue who was married to an ARVN soldier. This Miss Hue was older. Late 20's early-mid 30's. She had a gentleness and innocense beyond the usual Vietnamese woman?s gentleness. Her eyes were just slightly crossed which gave her an even more innocent look. Her beauty was more something you could feel rather than see. It is rare that you meet a woman as beautiful as her. She was a joy to be around or talk to. Anyone who asked her to do a chore around the hooch would be very polite and patient. One morning we had a new house girl and when we asked where Hue was we were told there was an accident the night before and she had been killed. In her absence I felt a massive emptiness.

Comming in to the north end of Saigon there was this Movie Theater. I think it was a John Wayne movie.
The road into M&M Docks
There is a green front building and beyond that a double door, by the telephone pole. Miss Be worked here. A soldier came and told her she had given him Veneral disease. She was afraid he would be angry so I stepped between them. She told him she did not have any disease. When the soldier left All the young ladies gathered around and I gave a sex ed class explaining why men can tell if they have the particuclar venerial disease and women can not. Since their English was bad and my Vietnamese non existant I had to rely mostly on drawings. The girls were very interested though they sometimes would laugh at my drawings.
