| The R&R (rest and relaxation) facility at Vung Tau. This was a beautiful location on the beach and a nice spot for that 3 day getaway. The guys were lucky to have 3 day breaks. Danang offered China Beach. Out of country you could visit Hong Kong, Hawaii, Australia, Taipei, Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lampur, Panang, Bangkok and Japan. photo courtesy of Dick Prahl |

| SFC Sweeney and Capt. Dave Kennedy. Dave was C.O. of the 552nd MP Company. This photo was taken the day the company got off of the USS Buckner after a 21 day "cruise" to Nam. The 552nd was destined for Long Binh. |

| Rick Hughes looking bushed after a convoy run with the 504th. |
| Another Tony Wood photo. It is unknown who this MP is. He's standing next to a 173rd Airborne trooper (notice the patch). If anyone has info on the photo contact me. |
| Good ole Uncle Sam says, "thanks for your service to your country". |
| I stepped under a tent spike while with the 1st Infantry Division. The gash got infected and I had to have my big toe nail removed. Tom Likely, just a great friend, decided now was the time to have a boxing match. It was refereed by PFC Helmicki. The match was onesided, winner not to be disclosed. This was at our "barracks" at Long Binh with the 552nd MP Company. Photo courtesy of Dick Prahl. |

| A special thanks to the police officers and firemen of New York City. |

| Don Brown standing in front of headquarters for the 272nd MP Company in Nha Trang. Bill Ondrejecik stands in front of a curfew sign, 2200-0500 hours. It was a typical curfew throughout Vietnam where nothing moved on the streets during these hours except the MPs, and National Police Officers. Graveyard shift was a very eerie feeling in the towns that bustled during the day and were dead still at night. |
| Just imagine a city as big as Saigon with a couple million people milling about during the day and only a handful of men allowed on the streets during curfew. Very eerie, indeed. |
