I was at TSN and Pleiku in 68-69. I loved the country and the people. I have been back a number of times and have a vacation home in a small highway town North of Cam Ranh. I know a Navy fellow (also 68-69) who has been in Nha Trang since ‘05. He is retired now and living on his SS like we all wish we could live on SS.

I was artillery up on the DMZ for 13 months and it was holy hell. Nevertheless, I did see some of the country while diddy-bopping from FB to FB and it was beautiful.
Two things stand out - sunsets (and those long awaited sun rises) and the sky at night. The Milky Way was unbelievable.
Just as a side note - my son was a teacher in China for 4 years and traveled extensively throughout Asia. He said Vietnam was the most beautiful, had the best food and the nicest people.
Now, if they could just get rid of the commies ...
