We visited Van Mieu temple this week.  Our class was followed around by a Vietnamese television crew and interviewed.  Actually there were three interviews, Major General from Thailand, a French Colonel and myself.  Seemed like the French and Americans are popular targets for interviews, seems to be lots of interest on what we think about the Vietnamese military. (wonder why?)

We are headed to Khe Sanh which is in Quang Tri province, in Central Vietnam.  We are taking 5 days for the trip, so I will not be in Hanoi next week.  This are is the 17th parallel and the former DMZ which was the dividing line from 1954-1975 when there was a North and a South Viet Nam.

I am wearing my Army ACUs (Army Combat Uniform) with the US Flag proudly displayed on my shoulder, I get a lot of looks and curious people that want to take photos.  I expect wearing it in the field in Quang Tri may be the first time anyone as seen that uniform in the field in Vietnam.
