Description: I captured this China Beach photo in May of 1968. I didn't realize until recently that this was the month US casualties peaked at 2,417. It's likely some of the men on this photo never came home alive. Through my photos, I've documented my tour of duty as a US Navy Seabee deployed with NSA Danang in 1968. Our photo journey begins at Red Beach. Next we pass by Freedom Hill, the Rock Pit and 1st Marine Div HQ. Heading south we move past fire bases and the Hoi An ROK Marine Base. We head north past Marble Mountain and enter the China Beach compound. We then pass thru downtown Da Nang drive around Danang Air Base. We then head down the busy road to Monkey Mountain, lined with refugee camps. Next we tour Camp Tien Sha, where I stayed at times. We then drive past Deep Water Pier and up the steep winding Monkey Mountain road, where our journey ends.
