10/22/2019: Ravaged Beauty along the coast of Viet Nam, near Vung Tau.
/As I relate in my memoir, “A Spear Carrier in Viet Nam…,” during my early 1972 TDY in Phouc Thuy Province for the move of refugees from I Corps, I often drove along the seaside road to Vung Tau, and saw several examples of what had once been beautiful mansions overlooking the ocean. None were inhabited, and all had been shot up to one degree or another. This photo (by me) is of one in about the best condition. The view from these houses was spectacular. The South China Sea is on the other side of the dune.
