Bravo Battery, 2/4 Artillery, had a big red welcome sign next to their HQ bunker proclaiming, 'Welcome to Beautiful Downtown Binh Phuoc.' I don't know if you remember it..." - Bob Fischer

"...Here is the sign I was telling you about. The bandmaster made us stack our rifles. Something about carrying loaded weapons within the perimeter a Binh Phuoc? At Dong Tam you could carry a howitzer, just no bullets. I guess a lot of yuppies were in 'Nam. This is also 21 JUL 69. ..." - Bob Fischer
