Guard Duty on one of the Star Bunkers, This guys name is Frank Frank. |

There it is... "Resurrection City", the home of "A" CO (O5H), the mine field to the left and Hill180 in the background. |
 |
These are (were) the new barracks that we moved into around May-72. |
 |
The 8th got a couple of "gun trucks" for defense in '72. Remember that at this time, there were no American units north of us...just the NVA. |

A USO show with Miss America (3rd from left) at the 8th. This stage is to the rear of the EM club. The girl in front row right is Miss Louisiana. [[ I'm sporting a tremendous woodie for Miss Lousiana! ]] |
 |
After one of the NVA raids on the ammo dump, it was still burning the next day. |
 |
'No Mans Land" at the base. The 101st had just moved out and everything you see here is empty. Later, everything was bulldozed clean and a guard gate was put up where I was standing (after they cleared the mines!). This is looking north and on guard duty we could see 122's coming from the valley in the background. The Air Force did 2 ArcLights on the hill to the left in the background while I was here. |

[[ Just another Star Bunker, hardly worth clicking on...really. I've got more pictures of Star Bunkers on this site than you can shake a stick at. ]] |
 |
The new mess hall. Another reason for this picture; you can see everyone carrying their weapon. We had to carry the M-16 everywhere, even to our bunks. This was right after the Easter Offensive in '72. The New Barracks would have been behind the photographer. |

This is the compound atop Hill 180. |
