| These two photos were submitted by Tony Wood, down near the island of Bali. They had pin holes in them as if they had been pinned on someone's board for awhile and weren't in great shape with a lot of blemishes. They have been enhanced. |
| Perhaps someone can identify the river patrol MPs above and where they are. To the right is an MP driving a jeep with a VC blindfolded in the back. Anyone identify this pic? |
 |
| This plaque was dedicated and placed at the American Embassy in Saigon. The plaque is in honor of the 4 MPs and one USMC trooper that were killed defending the embassy during TET of 1968. When Saigon fell this plaque went into the hands of the communists. There is action in progress to try to get this plaque turned over to the rightful owners. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PLAQUE. It will then take you to a page explaining how you can get involved. Also, if anyone has any photos of the 4 MPs please contact me as this photos may be necessary to assist in the return of the plaque. |
