This was probably snapped by our escort officer, Capt. Bill King, who had been happily wading around in rice paddies the day before, as part of our then-current "Vietnamization" policy whereby villagers would be rounded up and re-located in US-secured hamlets, and their lives would be improved by the constant presence of American personnel. Two nameless GI's man the concrete guard post at Hotel Meyerkord's main entrance, to our left (your right... your OTHER left) note the wire fencing that extends up high enough to discourage a casual grenade-toss. All the windows are taped to cut down on flying glass if something DOES blow up. Interesting shoes.

Two troopers (sorry, guys)... Lee Cheney, Chuck McCabe, Bob Harvey, Mike Mindel
