Here are a few photos from the men I flew with in 68 ... The one black and white is the person who photoed me in T-Bird 38. Look closely and you will see his finger sticking thru the skin of his ship.
Phil Hoza took these several colored photos before he was hit in his leg and retired back to the states to heal. Later in life his grown daughter was a Platoon Leader of a fuel transportation unit in Gulf II. It has been a couple years that I have spoken to any of the folks.
The fires are the annual burning of the rice fields, a smell that never leaves your senses. I forgot completely how they smelled until one morning in 1974 I was on my job driving to a big engine repair and passed thru one of the rice growing centers of Gulf area Texas. They were burning rice fields
