We went through Phu Bai When the 1st Cav moved from I Corps to III Corps in 1968. There were Marines everywhere and we knew why. That is where all the beer is stockpiled for I Corps. Each pallet of beer had an armed Marine standing on top of it. My Company got on our LST with 157 cases of beer. Some of the guys had been in I Corps for most of a year and had gotten no beer. Just ketchin up.
