Vietnam Flashback: Rare Pictures That Were Thought To Be Lost!

Thanks for sharing the pictures SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Black and white pictures from the jungles, rice paddies and streets of Vietnam must bring back vivid memories for those who fought there,

I have to add this about one of the pictures I saw in the lineup. I was working in outprocessing center during the pullout of Vietnam, 1972 Chu Lai. When I saw a long line of troops waiting a the front of the airplane hangar designated for out processing 100's of soldiers at a time. One of the soldier I picked up on was a tall unshaven, hair wasn't IAW regs, but that wasn't what got my attention first. He was sporting a spider monkey on a leash upon his shoulder. So being a REMF I had to approach and asked the SSG respectfully is that your pet? His response was no that this is my watch dog when I sleep when out of LRP's by myself. So I believe the picture of the monkey, if you noticed has a leash on him, probably that soldier's watch dog.

Lost Pictures are very rarely truly lost. Just have to find the right Photographer and explain to them that it is important to share with the rest of us and how important it is to a complete understanding of our history.
