Dau Tieng Annex Building
 
Some of the more humorous things that happend during the war. In this case, taking on a task one has never done before. As you can see, the results were predictable. Story from Bill Comeau at Alpha Association.
 

 Hey Bill (Comeau)

Welcome home, my brother! I was just looking at your web site; it was the first time I've seen it. Boy did it bring back some memories. I was there from the end of Feb '68 to the beginning of Mar '69. While looking at the really great pictures I came across one that really got me laughing. Laughing because I was one of the non-carpenters that added the extension to the small arms repair shop in the picture.

I was the .50 gunner on Delta's M-88 and my last two months in Dau Tieng I transferred to small arms so as not to go out in the field anymore. My bosses, WO 3 Kelly and SFC Troyen wanted an annex built and had the three of us do it. We told them we didn't know what we were doing, but they didn't care. So, that's the way it came out. I'll tell ya, Bill, these are some of the best photos I ever saw of Delta Tango. Who is Doug Brablec and do you guys still keep it touch?

Well, just wanted to tell you I really enjoyed your site. 

All the best,

Joe Colussi Delta Co., 725th Maint Bn
