ALL THE WAY, HOME
SGT Smith, 1965
DUC CO Special Forces Camp. (Early)
These wonderful photos were provided by SGT Franklin R Smith, who was one of the original NCO's to go to Vietnam with Delta Company.  They show a remarkable impression of the life of the local indigenous people, as well as the many challenges facing the newly arrived Delta troopers. Most photos are along Highway 19, near the Cambodian border. SGT Smith later returned to Vietnam in Special Forces.  Last photo on bottom right was provided by SGT Larry Cheney, a friend of SGT Smith.  These men are stalwarts.
