Vietnam Trip 2007

Front Gate to the former Phu Lam Signal Battalion


My visit to Vietnam in October 2007 was a momentous occasion for me.  It is documented at http://dananderson47.startlogic.com./id13.html.   The homepage does not work for some unknown reason.  However, it can't be fixed because the web host no longer provides the site builder software that I used to create the site.  Please pardon the inconvenience.  

I was stationed south of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) at a site known as the Phu Lam Signal Battalion. My tour of duty was from February 21, 1967 to February 20, 1968.  Many of the experiences I had during this brief period of time helped shape me professionally, physically, and morally.  They continue to influence my life today. 

Vietnam is a beautiful place now.   I believe it reflects what can be done when people in a sovereign country are allowed to determine their own fate.  Moreover, I believe it demonstrates that economics is a more powerful tool than military force.
