Khe Sanh Base

The rear entrance to our Recon bunker. Note the destroyed sections of a 122mm rocket laying on the roof of the bunker. This 122mm rocket hit the end of our bunker but no one inside was injured. A few of us had ruptured eardrums from the concussion, but no other injuries.

One of the first convoys out of the base after the Siege was lifted. This was taken on the access road on the way out to the hi-way. Notice all the bare dirt and shredded trees.
