My sunny home 50 yrs ago Chu Lai Vietnam

I spent my youth at Chu Lai.  The only reason the base was there because of the airfield to support the USMC and Army ground pounders.   The place was beautiful.  Chu Lai could of been a great vacation spot.  But there was first little wasr going.  I remember the long white beach sand.  Oh the dawn big ass sharks the would come close to the shore....  Here the store of the construction of Chu Lai airfield.   I think I can hear the a song or two being played in my head...   "Wood Bully", "WE got get out of this place"  "Fortunate son"

20mm Remagen Bridge I'm I crazy...

Part of the one of the WOW files is on for the remagen Bridge.  During WW2 my father was the only sober guy in his unit.  The CO appointed him to drive all the unit Artillery pieces and vehicles across. the Bridge.  I believe at that time the unit had 155MM towed by high  speed tractor.  It took a quite a bit of time to do.   About two hrs after my father accomplished his task. The was large crashing sound.  He turned around to watch the bridge sink under the river.   He told his friends at the picnic. That he got drunk for two days.. Below is the bridge in 20mm. This was made by the gentleman who created the stl files. Capture of the Remagen Bridge article:Remagen Bridge
