Wed 22 June 1966 [Pleiku]
Dear Norma, Mike, & Patty:
...You probably won't get thirty six pictures from this roll because it jammed in the camera when I first put it in. Most of the pictures are of a Vietnamese ceremony. Once a month they have Heroes Day at II Corps Headquarters which is just down the hill from our site. I didn't know what was going on so I went and got the camera and went down to see. I was standing in the crowd when a Vietnamese Major came over to me and said, ?You come with me, have seats for you.? I got escorted to one of the red leather chairs in the front row next to the speaker's platform. The man in the left section, front row, far right is Capt. Carpenter. He's in the front row far left after they leave the platform. The natives in the picture are Montagnards.
Going to Pleiku tomorrow to take some more pictures. Going broke buying film. Bought another 20 picture roll today.
...
Love,
Dad
