Great pics . Where was the church ?

Back in 66 there used to be a stone church at Phu Phong ( to south of Con T )

It was gone by 71 , 66 , I worked out of Con Thien and C-2 a lot and altough I am sure there was a lot of praying going on there wasn't any church left.

wasn't really a church, more like a shrine, My picture says Rt 9.
I took a digital picture of my picture with an old digital camera. My picture shows a dirt road in front. I can recall the building, I just can't recall where it was. seem like it was on RT 9 just west of Rt 1, but that was a long time ago and I only went past it once.
I walked Rt9 one time and flew they rest of the time except for a short boat ride.
If you ever been around Rt 9, its not a very nice walk. And then there was the night,

Your right on about RT 9 , west into trouble. When I was there it got down to a one narrow lane trail almost. Today it is a 4 lane black top, saw a show about two American Vet guys riding Harleys from Hanoi to Siagon and they rode down 9. Khe Shan is a coffee plantation as is Con Thien now.Living History.

Con Thien is a coffee plantation ? Interesting.

When we first occupied Con T the hill was hedgerows and small fields. It was good farm ground in that area .

Hated those hedgerows , it might have been good farm land but it was killing ground for sure. My platoon ran into an NVA Battalion there one day.
