More cool pics from Danny Owen.


Night is turned to day,compliments of Uncle Sam. Flares over Phu Bai.


This is a shot of the bar area at the EM Club.We called the girl with pigrtails Pocahontas.The other one is Ghi,the head bartender.She was pretty old to work there at 33.Most of the girls were working for about $30 a month.

 

 


This is the mamasan who cleaned tables at the club,
not the one who worked in the booth and sold chits.

This is when the NCO club got hit.The date on the picture is March,’68 so it was after Tet .

 

 


This is the BOQ the night it burned during the Tet Offensive,1968.
In fact, this is January 31,1968.

Hear the attack. (Takes a couple minutes to download.)| The next day..

Now let me get this straight.
  1. The siren goes off
  2. Danny Owen jumps out of his bunk
  3. Turns on the tape deck
  4. Grabs his flack jacket, helmet...and CAMERA.
  5. Runs down the road
  6. Jumps in a trench
  7. and snaps this picture

Is that correct???
