Graphic courtesy of: David R. White Just recently looked up Horne Hall BOQ, Saigon. I was stationed at HQUSMACV from April 1970 to April 1971. During that time I got a job with special services and worked various BOQs showing movies at night. I was working the night that the Horne Hall BOQ got hit with a sabotage bomb under the front desk. Here are some pictures I took the next morning after the bombing. Here's the front door. | |

All I could learn about it was that when the duty officer pulled the switch on the water pump outside, it went off. My friend Steve and I could not get a military taxi to pick us up so we walked over to the Idaho BOQ and got a ride with one of Steve's friends back to Dodge City barracks. They never found anything of the Vietnamese clerk behind the front desk. | |

Looking across the ramp is the stone and brick house the pilots used as their operations building. Next to it is our 10 x 50 house trailer we used as our maintenance office. Those two aircraft (243 and 245) were the first two jet aircraft assigned to the Vietnam war at Tan Son Nhut Airfield. I was the crew chief on 245. | |

Graphic courtesy of: Gary Bird 377th Security Police Squadron Base Police Jan 1972 - Jan 1973 I was up in my attic recently and saw my old trunk that I had threw some of the things that I brought back from Vietnam. I located four Pacific Stars and Stripes papers. After forty years plus, they are hard to open without tearing them. Page 6, talks about the "Rocket Attack, 6 Dec 1972." |
