Da Nang PX

I remember it well also it was at the foot off Hill-327. I spent many sundays trucking Marines to the PX and Beer Garden there. Had more than a few there myself and even met one of my drill instructors there. The thing that I remember the most about the beer garden is that it was huge and always full of service personel from all branches and we all had to check our weapons in at the door. Also a great place to appropriate a new jeep or 5 ton from the Army to give the mechanics something to paint MC green and put new TAC marks on.

In reply to Gary Ross, F/2/26.
We were at a platoon-sized compound near Hill 55 when we heard some booms. Went up on our bunkers and witnessed one of the greatest shows of my entire life: the III MAF ammo dump going up. Even though it was about 10 miles away, you could see bombs, artillery rounds, and WIlly Peter being thrown up in the air then going off. It took about five seconds for the sound to reach us out near Dodge City. Probably related, I have to be away from all fourth of July fire works these days.
