Dong Tam photos (Continued)
An Assault Support Patrol Boat (Alpha) cruises into Dong Tam harbor in 1967. The new harbor was created by dumping the bottom soil into the adjacent rice paddies and making the Army/Navy base. (Photo courtesy of Doug Lindsey, YRBM-17)

Who can forget the aroma of burning feces??? I
only remember getting stuck with this duty once while in Dong Tam. Those
half-55-gallon drums sat under several holes in the out-houses used by all of
us. Not a pleasant memory and you certainly didn't linger in those stalls
for long.
