I was in the Air Force stationed in Vung Tau the last half of 1965. I was part of the Forward Air Control team. I recall watching the "Big Red One" come ashore. It was quite a site. I was later moved to Ham Tan.
The Air Force lived in a downtown hotel. If anyone has a photo of the hotel, could you please send it to me. Thanks in advance.

Norm, I was there with my son and a mate from Brisbane, one month ago. We left on the 13th to get the ferry down to Saigon. You would not know the place, where the Badcoe club and Harold Holt pool was, there is now a new hotel called the Imperial. The town of Vung Tau you just would not know, it's like the Gold Coast, we had been up at Hue before that for a few days.

Further to this the other EM type club, was called the Sandpiper, however this closed in 1970, I think we may have inherited one of their airconditioners !!!!!

The Zebra club was not in or near the PX it was on the other side of the road, I was a RAAFie there on the base 70-71. We lived out where the main gate used to be on the road that came in from five ways. Our hangers and admin blgs etc were on the actual airfield.

The Zebra club was club all on its own, nothing to do with the PX. I was there 70-71 with the RAAF and went there once or twice, or maybe a couple of times more than that. Probably went into town a bit more or over to 1ALSG to have a couple of beers with Australian Army mates at Back Beach.

It is so wonderful to hear that the Good Lord has rewarded you both with such a long and fulfilling life. The time in 1973 at the Home and Orphanage-worked with the Phat's/Jo Hewitt/ Minister Glenn(while you were in the states on R&R and fundraising has been the greatest and most meaningful blessing of my life. thanks to you both. I am still ticking after two open heart surgeries, but did retire from healthcare admin work in 2006-32 years of work and at 66 now am retired and have been married for 36 years. I did see two of the children- Dorothy and Lucy- when they came to US in Operation Baby Lift-adopted by the Jones in Columbia, MD who later unfortunately divorced. God bless you ever so dearly with His Love and comforting arms! 347-330-5770(Bronx, NY) & on fb
