Dao Thong

I knew if I looked long enough I would find the name. It was southwest of Ban Me Thuot. There was a large MACV compound there. I think it might have been an in-country R&R cat house for field grade officers and above. It was up in the mountains and had lots of sidewalk type cafes and bars. The women were more french then vietnamesse.

We take about six big brass types from the II Corp compound at Pleiku. The II Corp bird had I think it was Gen. Timothy at that time and some of his staff. We flew there and spent the entire day sitting on the pad. They did take us to one of the cafes and we had lunch. Steak and french fries along with cokes. We made the trip back with only three passengers that night. The other were probably having some classified meeting with the young ladies down town. Went back the next day and did the same thing. Only times I ever got there. It was another of those fairy tale places that you heard of but thought never existed.
